I work for The Center For Growth, treating everything from mental health to sex and relationship issues. I can help you manage thing like anxiety and depression as we explore and understand complex emotions in a safe space and find healthy and effective ways to express and release those feelings. We can immerse ourselves in exploration of your past as we make connections and gain understanding of how old patterns show up for you today. Or we can focus on the here and now, identifying what behaviors and thoughts are no longer serving you so you can create new goals that support your growth, in whatever way feels right to you.

Life can feel very hard at times. Trauma can take many different forms in your life and have painful effects, whether you have experienced societal discrimination (e.g., racism), family conflict, neglect, emotional/physical/sexual/spiritual abuse, a loss, a breakup, or any other personally upsetting moment or period in your life. My biggest passion is empowering clients who have felt misunderstood, unseen, or mistreated in their lives, and helping them learn everyday skills to handle overwhelming emotions and experiences.

The stigma behind psychotherapy is based on the notion that somehow asking for help and working with a professional means that one is weak. Ironically, this could not be further from the truth. Making the decision to look at your story and explore how patterns within it have impacted your goals, relationships, losses, parenting, work and outlook is profoundly difficult to do. It is looking at ourselves with the commitment to not look away until we have developed tools to build futures that give us joy and magnify our strengths. All while now knowing how to address our challenges more effectively.

Not feeling like yourself? Constantly overthinking? Struggling with low or unpredictable mood?

Through exploring your issues with a non - judgmental therapist, you can regain a sense of mastery and well - being.

My work is designed to bridge the gap between your current experience and your desired experience. I combine traditional talk therapy, expressive art therapies, and experiential therapies in my work.

They are open to exploring the mind and body from a WHOLE person approach and discovering the root cause of the symptom (s). They are open and ready for positive change and ask them to call on their courage!

I work with adults, utilizing a psychodynamic and behavioral approach and offering support for a variety of challenges and mental health disorders. I am an advocate for personal development through improved communication skills, goal planning and physical and emotional health. I believe that an ability to take pride in your personality and appearance improves decision-making, relationships and workplace skills.

My approach to therapy is one that prioritizes the creation of a relationship that is safe, mutual, and honest. I want my clients to feel empowered and free to explore themselves and grow into the person they wish to become. I am calm, warm, and active. I offer my clients feedback and challenge them in ways that encourage growth, often with some levity and humor. I value knowing my clients as a person and prioritize gaining an understanding and appreciation of their perspective. I work together with my clients to identify negative patterns in their life and provide the opportunity to create new, healthy experiences.
