Welcome. I am a passionate therapist with a sense of humor. I believe that even the saddest days warrant a laugh or a laugh with a few tears. Whether therapy is an old friend or a new journey, I will create a safe place for you to work on those issues that you have attempted to move past on your own. Whether you desire change...clarity...or growth? You have made the first step toward change just by searching for a therapist. If you are ready to begin the work, I am committed to helping you reach your goals.
I have over 10 years of clinical experience and an additional 10 years of teaching experience. Both careers have offered me daily reminders of life's most stressful issues (trauma, relationship conflicts, loss, racism, community violence, equity issues, parental separation, etc.) and our instinct to overcome these stressors.
I am trained in a number of clinical specialties including: Child/Parent Psychotherapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotional Focused Couples Therapy. Clients of all ages and lifestyles are welcome.
