Are you experiencing difficulties at home, work, or in significant relationships with others? Are you looking to find a deeper level of connection and passion in your life?

It's not what you thought it would be, and that's okay. Life transitions are hard. As much as we try to prepare ourselves, we can never be fully prepared. However, we can work together to help you embrace the changes and learn to navigate life with a new fresh perspective.

I also have an extensive background working with children, adolescents and young adults.

Therapy can help you overcome challenges such as addressing negative feelings, making behavioral change, managing a transition, or dealing with grief, loss, and trauma. Therapy is also a great place to learn about strengthening relationships, setting goals, and challenging yourself to be the person you want to be. I have been working with and advocating for individuals, children, and families since 2005. I welcome all clients, but found my techniques to be particularly helpful in working with anxiety, depression, life transition, trauma history, PTSD, grief or loss, and couple & family dynamic issues.

It can be difficult to become your authentic self when you are dealing with life stressors and personal road blocks such as; self-esteem, anxiety, and depression. I am passionate about the work that I do with young adults , and the impact on the larger family system. My theoretical approach stems from Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, and the use of somatic language, art therapy, and mindfulness strategies to strengthen the mind and body connection.
