I have completed extensive training in several Evidence Based Treatments including Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch Up (ABC), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Problematic Sexual Behavior CBT, and The Positive Parenting Program (Triple P).
I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, life and family transitions, parenting stress, attachment issues, and struggles with self-esteem, self-confidence and emotional regulation. I am especially passionate about working with individuals who have experienced trauma, particularly children birth to age 5 and young adults. My goal is to help people to gain a better understanding of the connections between their thoughts, feelings and behaviors in order to build a more balanced and meaningful life.

Choosing the right therapist can be a difficult decision; especially when they're working so closely with you or your child. You want someone who listens, understands and hears your concerns but is also supportive and nurturing. Let me begin by stating that I provide a safe environment where I incorporate empathy, encouragement, and laughter as part of the therapy process. But most importantly I believe in building a relationship with every person is the key to the healing process.

"The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct" (Carl Jung). I find great joy in working with children of all ages in a therapy setting. It's an honor to me when a child chooses to trust me with their wishes, their fears, and their wonders about life. I have experience working with children individually, in hospitals, and through non-profit work in the community. Through the use of play and arts based therapies, I help to facilitate an environment where children are able to truly be themselves, express their emotions, and have the ability to create the answers they need for themselves.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS (Couples, Families and Children) Everyone struggles at some point in time in their lives. Acknowledging this to another person can be incredibly difficult yet, freeing. True strength is in recognizing our faults (because we all have them.....yes we do) and working to change them. That is why we say the healthiest people are sitting in our office. The healthiest people are those who can acknowledge that they can't do it alone. Sometimes we need to trust in other people to guide us and give us perspective. It can be a challenge to open up to friends and loved ones for fear of judgement or rejection.

I'm passionate about working with children 8+. Today, kids experience mental health issues like social anxiety, depression, and lack of motivation caused by isolation during the pandemic. When your children are dealing with these issues, they miss out on experiences like school, friendships, and relationships with loved ones. I can offer support, as I have specific training in helping children build emotional awareness and developing their coping skills. When children have these skills they feel more confident and motivated.

I have a special interest in working with children and adults with emotional issues such as anxiety, attachment, trauma, and adjustment issues.
People seek counseling for a myriad of reasons. Regardless of what has led you to this path, I believe that the insights you gain through counseling can result in an increased understanding of yourself. Counseling is a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings and allows you the opportunity to develop and practice new ways of viewing yourself and others. I believe that no one person exists as an isolated individual. The work that occurs in counseling results in changes not only to yourself, but your relationships with others.
