As a counselor & psycho-therapist for adolescents, adults and families. I have worked extensively with substance abusing/addicted adults and their families in residential, intensive outpatient and educational treatment settings. However, I also have experience providing therapy for issues including, but not limited to, mental/behavioral health social work, brain health, relationships, and providing “Intervention” services for families of treatment resistant individuals. As a former Educational Consultant and Program Advisor, I can assist families seeking out-of-home placement for loved ones, be it adolescent, young adult, or adult.

I am an empathetic therapist specializing in the treatment of children and young adults. I enjoy using Play Therapy techniques, as play is truly the language children use for communicating and healing. I enjoy the challenge, honesty, and rewards of working with kids. I have experience working with co-parenting, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, Autism Spectrum, ADHD, addiction, violence related issues, and LGTBQ. I also enjoy working with parents, utilizing some techniques from Gottman Institute, Love and Logic, and Incredible Years curriculum. I look forward to working cooperatively with your child and family.

The decision to seek out a therapist is an important first step towards positively addressing conflicts, managing distress, and learning to cope with negative or overwhelming feelings. Our team of therapists bring years of therapy experience. We work with children, adolescents, adults, and families who are Deaf or come from Deaf families (includes hearing family/friends who sign). We provide a supportive, nurturing environment. We use a multimodal approach incorporating mind-body therapies with evidence-based treatments. We also offer forensic-clinical services and applied behavior analysis treatment.

We all have a unique perspective of reality from our own lived experiences. We possess, develop, and utilize our strengths throughout these experiences. The meanings that we create are expressed in narratives we tell ourselves and others. Together people create networks of relationships as they share narratives and create experiences together. These networks of relationships can be a source of both constraint and strength. I strive for therapy to be a sanctuary place free of judgement, so people can express the multiple parts of themselves. I strive to meet people with curiosity, creativity, compassion, and a desire for connection.

Life can be challenging. We may be faced with struggles that seem too overpowering to face on our own. As a clinical mental health counselor, my goal is to help my clients develop skills to deal with life's struggles, hope for recovery, strength to move forward, and healing from past trauma and pain. We all have a right to be happy and I want to help you reach your potential. I am trained in Accelerated Resolutions Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR.

My goal is to provide an empathetic and compassionate space to help you navigate the challenges in your life. I believe people always make sense and working to identify the function of a behavior allows for healing, empathy and effective problem solving. I believe there is no "One size fits all" approach to therapy. I walk alongside my clients, meeting you where you are while challenging you and encouraging you to embark on your path to healing. I acknowledge the uniqueness of each person's journey and the importance of patience in the healing process.

I believe that within each of us lies a powerful, resilient human spirit that has the capacity to thrive - regardless of one's life circumstances. My clients have a variety of backgrounds but all of them have one thing in common: a desire to be truly happy and healthy. I get to the root of the problem/s; my clients experience thru interactive therapy that produces results. My methods are directive, down to earth, and engaging for both children and adults. We all develop habits that serve us in the moment, only to discover that those same behaviors and narratives are keeping us from getting what we want out of life and relationships.

I have enjoyed meeting with all of my clients, and am happy to take clients depending on space availability. I connect especially well with women of all ages, teens and young adults, and especially enjoy helping people trying to navigate major life changes or challenges.

Available Now... When looking for a new therapist, what is most important to you? My strongest values are mutual understanding, authenticity, confidentiality and competence. These are what I hope to share with my clients. My goal is to listen and help you in your process starting from wherever you are. Having the courage to begin in the healing process isn’t easy.

Everyone needs help at times, and that’s okay. I have several years experience working with individuals dealing with chronic anxiety, chronic depression, complex trauma, and issues related to neurodiversity. I’ve worked with girls at the end of high school transitioning to college, as well as adults of multiple genders. I also have many years working with children in different settings, many of whom dealt with multiple diagnoses. Some of these issues include ADHD, OCD, autism, depression, anxiety, and trauma.

I deeply appreciate being able to be a part of the lives of so many amazing people. To work side by side with individuals during the sensitive and vulnerable process of healing is a gift. Within all of us, there is a natural human ability to heal, and we gain confidence when we have access to the right tools that help us to integrate feelings, emotions, experiences, and relationships into something meaningful. I'm a huge fan of tailoring methods and tools to fit individual needs.

Let me help you explore and heal experiences that disrupt functioning in your daily life now. Working with kids in the foster care system I saw a continual theme. Their symptoms were about what had happened to them not their diagnosis. This drove me to explore trauma informed modalities and provide treatment for all ages who have experienced trauma. Exploring what happened as a reason behind actions and responses. I treat all ages but I have a dedicated play therapy space. Play is how kids communicate. I use an attachment focused lens. Clients most often have the solution that works for them but just need guidance to access it.

My areas of specialization include adoption, anger management, antisocial personality, anxiety, behavioral issues, bipolar disorder, codependency, depression, divorce, domestic abuse, domestic violence, dual diagnosis, emotional disturbance, family conflict, grief, life transitions, marital and premarital, oppositional defiance, parenting, peer relationships, relationship issues, school issues, sex therapy, suicidal ideation and trauma and PTSD. I focus on a wide range of clients including adults, teenagers, preteenagers, and children. I use several therapeutic modalities/approaches.
