My treatment philosophy is based on the belief that the practice of self-discovery creates more room for you to live your life to its fullest potential. Unfortunately, mental, emotional and relationship challenges can severly impeed your efforts. By weaving together behavioral, cognitive, developmental, personality and systems theories of psychology; many of the challenges can be resolved. In addition, the spiritual beliefs and religious traditions of each individual are explored. For many, this experience facilitates living more authentically and cultivates a compassionate understanding of self with a spirit of confidence that paves the way for greater accomplishment in all aspects of life.

At some point in our lives, we’ve had to deal with the pain and difficulty of losing our voice. Not our physical voice, but losing the capability to speak up for ourselves. Have you ever experienced losing the ability to speak up for yourself or your needs due to the fear of possible rejection? Or the fear that nothing will change? Have you ever lost yourself in the process of attempting to speak up for yourself? Do you want to find your voice again? Admitting some of these things is not easy. However, the honesty and courage it took to seek guidance tells me you’re willing to take responsibility to seek emotional and mental change.

Before joining JF&CS, I worked at CHRIS 180 where I provided individual, family, and group therapy to children, adolescents, and adults dealing with different areas of mental health. I have years of experience working with Depression, Anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder/Trauma-Related Disorders, Academic & School Concerns, Grief & Loss, Identity issues, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and individuals impacted by domestic violence.

Questions: "What allowed me to even get into something like that? Where was I? No one has ever been my safe space. You treated me like I was your last option but if you were on your death bed I'd be your first choice. But I accept you for who you are....why can't you accept me? WTF am I even doing!? Am I so different and misunderstood that I should just be alone? I don't need anybody anyway. How could you treat me like this? Me!?" Been there done that...still growing and glowing. The people who do not value your presence, cannot understand your growth. You owe it to yourself to get the answers, take the action, and heal.

As a child and adolescent therapist, I acknowledge the joys and the challenges we as parents often experience. By working with children and their parents as a family system, there is an increase in the overall efficacy of treatment. Often, many of our struggles as a family stem from our ability to fully understand each others' experiences and view points. Learning to communicate more effectively, regulate emotions, and be more mindful in our every day lives can drastically improve our personal and familial experiences.

Whether you're on the path of discovering your purpose, having difficulty flowing through the stages of grief, or feeling bombarded and overwhelmed by the presence of depression and anxiety, you have the right to hold space for yourself and hone in on your wants, needs and desires for your human experience. I welcome you to come as you are, with the knowing that you are in a safe, non-judgmental space. You may find yourself feeling some discomfort in this new realm of existing, where you're allowing yourself to be free and open, yet I am by your side and honored that you are trusting me with your process.

I believe each of us is on a path to fulfilling our highest potential. Sometimes along this path we are faced with very difficult circumstances with which we may not be well-equipped to cope. Sometimes unfortunate messages we received during childhood prevent us from taking bold action; interactions with others have been difficult and hurtful, preventing us from optimally relating to others; or we may have experienced horrific events that shake our confidence in ourselves. For these and many other potential reasons, we sometimes lose our way on becoming our highest and best selves.

I'm a down-to-earth, millennial therapist who specializes in helping young women develop healthier relationships with themselves and others. Together, we work through difficult experiences & life transitions with the lack of self-esteem, self-worth, and self-love being the root of the issue: depression & anxiety, the break-up you can’t get over, your overbearing parent, unhealthy expectations, feeling stuck in life, the killer of joy-comparison, boundary issues in relationships, self-defeating negative thoughts, poor self-care, or even just needing a mental health check up. Any of this sound familiar? I can help!
