Clients who would most benefit working with me would likely describe themselves as having attachment difficulties, struggles in relationships, being people pleasers, challenged with rigid thinking, feelings of "not good enough", seeking acceptance of others, and perfectionism. If you have noticed that your thoughts, emotions, or behaviors are affecting your ability to have healthy relationships, living a fulfilling life, accomplishing your dreams, or healing your past trauma, I can support you and together we will work to gain the insight, tools and strategies you need to make the changes you are seeking to live a healthier life.
MJA prides itself on offering evidence-based treatments, a few of which include EMDR, medication management and a play-centered modality along with integrative treatments such as reiki, acupuncture, massage and crystal healing. We also offer QB Testing for ADHD and educational support services and advocacy. MJA boldly fosters total wellness for its clients!
I commit to my clients to provide a safe, warm environment built on trust and integrity where I show up for you and meeting you where you are and ask that you commit to show up for you! If you feel that I would be a good fit to begin your healing journey with me or one of our other talented MJA professionals feel free to reach out to schedule an appointment.

Healing is not a destination, but a daily commitment to yourself. To show up, to be vulnerable, to show yourself grace and compassion, even when it's hard. No matter what the issue that brings you to therapy, we will work together to develop the most appropriate treatment plan to meet you where you are at. My focus is always you and your needs.
