I provide adult individual psychotherapy to help my clients decrease distress, enhance coping, and improve their relationships.

I believe you are the expert on your life. I will work with you to reach your goals, whatever they may be. I meet you where you are and work with you. The motto of my office is "We can cry and we can swear, we don't judge, but we care."

I have an open genuine heart willing to understand how to help you get back on track to meet your goals and develop consistent healthy life choices. In session, we will utilize an interactive and solution-focused approach aimed at creating a safe environment to identify those obstacles, without judgement, and to explore the core issues of the problem. My goal is to empower my clients to independently and constructively problem solve, create strategies to learn their potential, and to heal past mistakes for the future they desire.

I embrace an eclectic and wellness-based approach to therapy, incorporating elements of Art Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Brainspotting, Mindfulness, Play Therapy, and visualization to help my clients better navigate their life’s journey. Clients suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, emotional dysregulation, or sensory processing disorders can also benefit from the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) which is a “bottom-up,” short-term, auditory intervention based on the Polyvagal Theory. The SSP helps restore the nervous system, thereby reducing stress and enhancing social engagement and resilience.

People seek therapy for many different reasons. Sometimes, people need a healthy outlet for pent up emotions.
