I pursued this work because I know what it is like to be knocked off course. Over the years, I found that assisting people heal from trauma is what I am meant to do. I focus on empowering my clients through education, proven therapies, and allowing my clients to lead their treatment. You are the expert on your own experience! I'm here to safely offer you an alternate path to your goals. You are experiencing a normal reaction to something that is abnormal. Trauma and grief are heavy - you don't have to carry it alone and it does not have to be a part of your identity.

Accepting new clients -The Center for Connection, Healing & Change focuses on the creation of secure, close, and satisfying relationships- within us and between us. We choose to specialize in relationships because we know the importance of satisfying connections for our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Services explore the relationship we have with both ourselves and others; how well we can live with emotional ease, know who we are, ask for what we need, be responsive to loved ones, set boundaries, deal with loss, heal trauma, move through stressful experiences, find our purpose, and access resilience in moments of need.

Throughout my career I have worked with people of varying backgrounds. I have found that my passion is simply for helping others feel and live their best. I find that therapy is a powerful tool that can aide you in so many ways; whether you are trying to navigate feelings of depression, grief or loss or navigating the tumultuous feelings that come with anxiety or a change in your relationship status, therapy can help you find and accept a new perspective while developing the skills needed to not only move through the challenges, but to begin thriving.

Look, we all can agree on one thing in this day and age: the struggle is real. In a world that is fast-paced and overworked, we often forget to process what is happening externally and how it is affecting us internally. And if we don't have the right tools to handle big stressors or major life events, it can be even more difficult to deal with what comes our way. Whatever your struggle is, I'm here to help.

I am a psychotherapist who enjoy lighting the path for others. I believe you are the authority over your own life but sometimes you need someone objective to help you look from the outside in. Coupled with my clinical expertise, I am emotionally attuned to others. I often recognize others’ feelings and intuitively understand where these sentiments come from. As a result, I often know what to say to help find solutions that address the individuals’ concerns.

Therapy is hard work but it can also be energizing, fun and something you look forward to. It is vital to find a therapist who is a great match for you. My style is frank and directive using humor, psycho-education, and collaboration. I'm passionate about working with clients that are ready to develop a healthy, long term strategy to manage weight and body image struggles. My focus is on helping clients reduce anxiety, find assertiveness, manage emotions and form healthy relationships.
