Trauma, especially childhood trauma can affect every aspect of your life. Borderline personality disorder is often misunderstood and I want my clients to know that they are not a diagnosis. Issues of trauma, BPD, racial issues, and communicating within your family system can be stressful, and cause a variety of life altering symptoms. Anxiety, stress, depression, harsh internal thoughts, and loss of hope are some of the reasons my clients come to therapy. During therapy, I want you to feel understood, and safe to open up and process these deep concerns.

My ideal client is any adolescent, young adult, or couple that is willing to seek assistance, grow, and develop new strategies to address concerns they may be having with depression, anxiety, communication, addictions, or other adjustment they are struggling with that they need assistance.

After a relationship is formed it is my goal to help guide the client/couple/family in developing strategies by challenging them using different therapeutic modalities that work best with their identified goals.
