I am a licensed clinical professional counselor who specializes in working with adolescents and young adults. I facilitate change by providing a safe, non-threatening environment that demonstrates love, compassion, trust, and understanding. This caring environment helps children and adults build the stepping stones needed to live a happier and healthier life through learning self-awareness and the development of effective coping skills. I use a variety of tools in my practice, including EMDR, CBT, and mindfulness techniques, which help reduce anxiety and depression particularly for those individuals who have experienced trauma.

Life after experiencing trauma can be met with dysregulation and an inability to cope, function, or see a future beyond the traumatic experience. This often can leave one feeling isolated, lost, and misunderstood. I have extensive training in Trauma processing and work with adolescents, adults, and couples to identify skills to cope with and process their traumatic experiences. Whether you have experienced a single traumatic event or trauma throughout your life, we will work together to develop a plan that will relieve your trauma symptoms and provide you with a future that is free from your trauma.

Therapy is the opportunity to explore your thoughts, emotions, and actions in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. Together, we can work towards greater self-awareness, resilience, and personal growth. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or just seeking personal development, I’m here to help you on your journey to a better you. Don’t let life’s struggles hold you back any longer. Your path to healing starts here.

I enjoy working with people. I work well with all age groups: adults, young adults, the elderly, children, adolescents and families. I am trained to adapt myself to a person's individual needs, developmental level, and pace. I consider myself an eclectic clinician, predominantly practicing Rogerian (person-centered approach incorporating humor and accurate empathy). I collaborate well with other treating professionals to provide the suitable support for a person under my care. If you are looking for a dedicated professional who will meet your or your child's needs by applying evidence-based treatment approaches, look no further!
