In parenting/caregiver relationships, I support caregivers by explaining how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened by understanding their child’s emotions/behavior.
As a relationship focused therapist, my primary goal is promoting the healthy social, emotional, and relational health of both adults and young children. Endorsed as an Infant Family Specialist, I have experience with supporting the healthy social/emotional development of children prenatally through age 5. As an infant and early childhood mental health(IECMH) professional, I have an understanding of family dynamics and relationship building at an individual & family level. As a marriage counselor, I share tools to help marriages thrive. With both populations, I use a strength-based, culturally sensitive and trauma informed approach.

My service to children, adolescents and families in a variety of capacities for close to a decade helped shape my empathetic, client centered approach to therapy.
Imagine a world where everything is perfect. Life is great; no worries, no stress, no DRAMA!. Now wake up! Life isn't easy. The fears, worries, trauma, and relational issues we carry day to day can keep us from living our lives to the fullest and reaching our full potential. Sometimes we feel our lives are spiraling beyond control. My goal as your therapist is to provide a safe space to process life transitions, explore feelings, identify your life's purpose, and help you live the abundant life destined for you.

A guiding principle in working with any client is to see that person as a unique individual with strengths and potential far greater than the problem that has brought them to my door. My job is to tap into those strengths, to help you see your potential, and to support you in making the change you are seeking to achieve. I incorporate a holistic approach that looks at a client from a whole person, mind-body perspective, focusing on identifying relational, lifestyle, or cognitive changes that may be beneficial to reaching your identified goals.
