As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I believe that meaningful growth often happens outside the four walls of a traditional therapy office. I specialize in working with children and families through an experiential, nature-based approach that blends adventure therapy, mindfulness, utilizing a client-centered approach. I'm also currently working toward certification in adventure therapy.
My approach is trauma-informed and strengths-based. I strive to create a compassionate, supportive environment where kids and families feel safe to explore, express, and heal in ways that feel authentic and empowering.

My clients generally come to me because of my expertise in treating OCD and Anxiety Disorders. Oftentimes, clients are struggling with other problem areas as well (e.g., depression, self-esteem, communication), and we address these problems throughout the course of therapy. The people who work with me tend to be highly motivated, and willing to work as part of a team in an effort to reduce symptoms and improve overall life functioning and enjoyment in a guided, structured, efficient manner.

Whether you are going through an important transition or need extra support as you navigate everyday life, it is worth remembering that everyone needs help sometimes. Being a wife for the last 16 years and a mom for the last 20 years has given me the opportunity to experience the richness of family life including teen parenthood/parenthood, marriage, life cycle transitions, blended family dynamics, anxiety and stress related challenges. Challenges create strength and it is my passion to help others sift through the inevitable challenges of life to cultivate understanding and clarity and the ability to move forward with strength.

Everyone experiences challenges in life that cause internal and interpersonal distress. The idea is not to endure difficulties, but rather, to overcome these. If you are tired enduring the distress and genuinely ready to take steps to relief, then counseling is a viable option. However, not all of the work will be easy, yet when we approach changes using micro steps, it is a heck of a lot easier and often quicker. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel and by making that crucial step into self-actualization, you will be one more step into being a better and lighter you.

Life can be tough sometimes, and I am here to tell you that you do not need to walk that journey alone. We often get distracted by the daily activities in our lives, the mindless routines, and the various roles we play, without noticing we are struggling. You seek to find peace, empowerment, and/or to be seen and heard in your own life. You may be experiencing stressful experiences, anxiety, family conflict, infertility, life transitions, or depression, that can make you feel alone. I am thankful to work alongside you, as you reexamine your life path, to live the best you that you can be.

Change (no matter what it is) challenges your perceptions, feeling, memories, habits, and relationships. It starts out hard and messy, but it is growth. You are becoming a better parent, friend, partner, worker. But, you may not yet have much confidence in the decisions you're making. You want someone to listen carefully and to not question your sanity, in a non-judgmental, compassionate and insightful way. You know self questioning is normal, but you also know that talking it over with someone who has your best interests at heart will help you to feel better and more confident about your choices.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I utilize systemic thinking by looking beyond an individual and observing how their surrounding environments/relationships impact them. I find this approach to be highly effective and necessary to promote personal growth. I believe that everyone is worthy of being able to share their story in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I feel privileged to be a part of someone's journey to understanding their past, being aware of the present and setting goals for their future.

We live in a stressful, complex, and contradictory world. And though you do your best to cope with the chaos around you, sometimes it gets overwhelming. The chaos can make you question your decisions - sometimes it can even make you question who and how you are. Why are there so many obstacles to the life and relationships you want? Shouldn’t there be a clearer path? It can be so hard to navigate through the noise. Craving to connect more fully but end up feeling needy and more alone. Wanting to feel safe, but unease grows and bleeds through. Striving to be authentic, but there is so much noise it is hard to hear your true self.
