I work with clients from a client-centered approach which is intended to provide the safe space needed for healing. Together we will target debilitating symptoms. I work with adolescents and adults in individual and family settings. and couples seeking support in their relationship. I work with people seeking awareness on how to improve their life and support in achieving their goals. Together we will restore healthy lifestyle patterns and plan for future success. Teens, adults and couples often can suffer from the same depressive, anxious and traumatic experiences, but will need different support to heal.

I use techniques from the CBT, DBT, and Person Centered therapeutic lenses to aid clients in managing their substance use, processing and healing from trauma, and regulating their moods. The goal of the therapy is to empower individuals to overcome their challenges, build resilience, and improve their overall mental health and well-being.

I have a background in residential treatment adults/teens, relationship focused, girl/women's issues, life transitions and grief.
My areas of focus include life changes, relationships, trauma, grief, recovery, women's issues and perimenopause/ menopause transitions. Changes to our lives both expected and unexpected, can interrupt our sense of wellbeing or divert us from our desired paths, making it hard to find our way back. We get lost in the heartbreaks, sadness, unmet needs, or trauma responses that fractures how we view and know ourselves. Working our way through unfolding memories, processing traumas, validating feelings, and honoring where we hurt, makes space for more love, connection, compassion and fulfillment. All of which, you deserve.

I have a passion for helping teens, adults, and couples make meaning of their experiences and to be a gentle, sometimes funny, sometimes direct guide for anyone who is READY TO MAKE CHANGES IN THEIR LIFE AND RELATIONSHIPS.
You are doing the best you can. If you could snap your fingers and stop the anxious thoughts and worries you would, right? I understand the fear of being trapped in your negative experiences and how helpless that can feel without loving support. The truth is life is as challenging as it is remarkable and respecting how trauma, stress, neglect, or illness are showing up in your body and experience is paramount to healing. Trauma can show up as patterns of protection that keep us stuck in feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, hopelessness, and fear. And keep us from enjoying secure and loving relationships with others.
