I have 20 years of clinical experience in providing evidenced-based treatment. As a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, I work with children, adolescents, adults, & families with a variety of issues and challenges, including trauma/PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting challenges, children emotional & behavioral issues, stress, etc... I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT skills, Play Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. Guided by my client's needs and issues, I use a variety of therapeutic orientations to work with children, adults, and families.

Emotional pain, fear, and problems in life can propel someone into therapy. Distress can feel deep-rooted, and in actuality, often does reflect early, 'ancient' issues. I believe that also in our deepest roots, we may tap into powers of resilience and of amazing, unique selfhood that nourish us in development toward our human potentialities. In courageous exploration of, and work through life's challenges, we can find, and bring to light, marvelous, hard-won gifts of self-actualization, and well-being.

I believe therapy begins within a genuine connection where your unique story can truly be heard and validated. My role as a therapist is to provide space and support with attunement, compassion, and sensitivity to your specific needs. I believe that change occurs within the context of a trusting, respectful, and collaborative relationship in which you feel safe to speak freely about the challenges you are facing.
