Life is full of moments. At times, moments are difficult or negative. Those moments can be full of life scenarios including mental health difficulties that are overwhelming and hard to maneuver alone. My desire is to work with you and empower you to understand your obstacles, provide a safe place to work through them, and become who you have always been destined to be.

I employ an integrative, strengths-based approach to therapy; incorporating mindfulness and holistic principles while working collaboratively with my clients to overcome their challenges. I have worked with clients in a number of areas (including, but not limited to): difficulties with family of origin and differentiation, women’s issues, self and identity development, relationship and intimacy issues, co-parenting, infidelity, anxiety, and managing life transitions. I also have experience in helping people improve communication, emotion regulation, and self-esteem due to childhood trauma.

You sit on your bed – heart pounding, face flushed, muscles tensed – still seething after the fight you just had with your partner. “This is it,” you tell yourself. “I can’t take anymore.” The arguments are becoming more frequent and hostile by the day. You remember when you loved being together. You used to look on with pity and bemusement at those married couples who always seemed to be in a state of continual conflict. But now you’re one of those couples. It’s painful and embarrassing to realize how fractured this once seemingly-unbreakable bond has become. You know that something has to change, but you just do not know how.

In the process of change, I am able to help with providing more insight, strategies, and knowledge that may assist in making the change process more successful. I find so much joy in helping clients learn more about themselves through evaluation, learn new ways to see and respond to things, as well as learn coping strategies to improve their lives. It takes courage and strength to make changes. I am here to help facilitate the change process, and working as a team,

There is a special place in my heart for a traumatized child. Traumatic events in childhood have a devastating impact on the child and family. Children need empathic, understanding, knowledgeable adults to come along side to guide and comfort the child through the journey of recovery. I provide caregivers education to support the child while providing practical techniques rewarding for both child and family. I provide play therapy, sand tray, Theraplay (R), and PCIT. I use these with EMDR and CBT to help children process their loss, trauma, reduce behaviors and impulsivity, enhance attachment, build communication and self esteem.

You feel like you need to be perfect and have your shit together but deep down, your inner critic has taken control of your life. You feel shame and are criticized as soon as you start to show your authentic self. You feel disconnected from the person you truly are. You may be a new parent feeling like you’ve lost yourself during this time that was supposed to be amazing but actually feels overwhelming. You may be an LGBTQIAP+ person who is grappling with embracing your authentic self and living out your true identity. Or you might be a young adult trying to figure out the next step in life and where you belong in the world.

Your relationship has changed. Anxious thoughts are starting to creep in. You keep asking yourself, “Is it just me?” Glimpses of the person you fell in love with show up now and then, so you hope for better days to come. You still care for each other, even though the good memories are becoming more distant. If only she could listen, if only he understood what I was going through, if only we could find the right words to say, if only we could move forward. You long for connection and understanding. You’ve tried to be there for each other but feel like you are falling into cycles that you can’t get out of.

I have over 8 years of experience working with children as young as 5 years old, adolescents, and young adults (18-25) in different direct and indirect settings. I have experience in many areas such as childhood trauma, ADHD, depression, stress, school issues, anxiety, anger management, physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and behavioral challenges.

You’ve tried so many things to stop worrying but nothing seems to help. All the thoughts about work, school, and other things just pile up and feel too overwhelming to deal with. You try to avoid how you feel by spending countless hours in front of screens. When you come back to reality, it feels like the weight of the world instantly jumps back on your shoulders. You’re tired of feeling this way. You’re tired of overthinking.

Reaching out for help is the first step to living a better life. I am proud of you for making that step because it is often the hardest one to make. I work from a strengths-based approach to empower you to make whatever changes you would like to make or cope with any problems you are having. Together, we can develop new skills and insights to gain more control over your behaviors and mindset. All this will help you become empowered to explore new possibilities in all areas of your life.
