Welcome! Starting on a healing journey in therapy can be intimidating, but I'm here to make your experience a positive one. Using empathy and going at your pace is my goal. I have experience working with adults with a variety of symptoms. I have a passion working with depression, trauma, anxiety, gender dysphoria, formerly incarcerated, and substance misuse.

As a therapist, I strive to provide an accepting, safe space where you can bring your authentic self without fear of judgment. I enjoy working with individuals of diverse backgrounds who are seeking to better understand themselves and the causes of suffering and discontent in their lives. Many feel alone when experiencing difficult life moments, but connection can make the journey feel lighter.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been practicing for 15 years. I specialize in various therapeutic modalities using an Eclectic and Strengths-Based Approach to assist women, adolescents, and children who may be dealing with life stressors, trauma, or simply wanting to learn healthy coping skills. I am here to help you navigate and gain insight through exploration of you. I approach therapy with an open mind, free of judgment, and respect for each individual’s lens and experience of the world.

As solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true worth and lead a life worth celebrating your full potential. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. Sometimes we all need some extra help, and often all we need is some extra guidance to help us navigate through life's challenges. Whether the obstacles that you face are temporary setbacks or lifelong issues, together we can find a way to help you face the future with new coping tools and with a stronger sense of self.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with life's challenges? Welcome to a space of warmth and understanding. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I offer a compassionate approach to therapy, providing support as you navigate life's challenges. I believe that everyone's life journey is unique, which is why I do not believe in the “cookie-cutter” approach to treatment. I have years of experience working with couples, helping them rebuild trust, improve communication, and deepen their connection. Additionally, I have experience working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and trauma.

"The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence." We believe everyone deserves someone who is present, patient, open, non judgmental, and willing to listen and hear you. Overwhelming feelings can surface a different times in our lives, and needing support through those moments is not a sign of weakness but a sign of being human. If you are struggling with communication, not feeling heard, feeling stressed, not knowing what to do, grieving, feeling alone, or feeling exhausted by all the none stop thoughts in your head... We are here for you.

Do you find yourself feeling on edge, overthinking or planning for situations that have not or may not even happen? Having trouble with change? Harsh self inner critic holding you back? Or maybe your past unprocessed trauma is showing up in new ways? I know what it feels like to be at war with your mind, it can feel like there is no escape or "turn off" button. I can show you how trauma focused therapy can retrain your brain out of unhealthy or negative thought patterns.

I work with a variety of clients including women, parents, families, adolescence/teens, college students, working professionals, and LGBTQ communities.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Registered Art Therapist, Board Certified. I view therapy as a creative process that promotes self-expression to aid clients in moving through blocks and to work towards achieving their goals. I meet my clients with empathy and compassion and work collaboratively to identify treatment priorities. The treatment modalities I use are art therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy (consists of a skill set combined with mindfulness focused on helping clients gain more control of their emotions), psychodynamic therapy, and trauma focused CBT.

Everyone needs and deserves health in all forms. I believe therapy is no different than medical treatment or dental care. People often don't want to pursue therapy because they don't think their discomfort is enough to warrant the expense. Whether the sessions are many or few, therapy can make a big difference in how you feel about yourself and how you relate to others. Emotional health is an investment in your quality of life. I utilize interventions based on individualized needs to help people reach their goals and create a fulfilling life.

I work with individuals, couples, families, and children. I believe when relationships are torn apart due to unresolved issues, severe life stressors and negative behaviors affect life functioning.The last alternative anyone wants to seek is guidance. Allow me to help develop reachable and attainable goals and outcomes.
