I have a background and passion for working with mothers in their perinatal years, women, children, and families ( I love working with a variety of individuals that are not limited to these groups listed). I approach therapy from a holistic approach and acknowledge that in order to heal to the highest potential- the mind, body, and spirit must work in sync with one another. My energy in the therapeutic relationship is authentic, compassionate, non-judgmental, open-minded, and empathic.

My passion is working with a wide range of people who are finding a way to live in their full potential and purpose. Life at times is painful, give me the opportunity to sit with you and help you find relief. I am experienced working with children, teenagers, couples, families, blended families, and parents. I feel a great sense of honor and privilege to work in the intimate parts of others lives in areas of anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting, and grief. In 2011 is when I started training as a therapist and have now been licensed as a marriage and family therapist since 2017.

I am here to help people solve problems with relationships. It can be better than it is and you can do it. Therapy helps us all to be happier again, and soon. Going to therapy is a step before we resolve our issues. I use EMDR, Hypnotherapy, Mind/Body Connection and Cognitive Behavioral approach to help individuals to resolve trauma and ease PTSD. All this to heal painful feelings and behaviors that are keeping us feeling stuck. We can achieve our goals, especially reach happiness we want, to be true to our own core values. All this will improve communication with others- I call it a side effect of therapy, a way to happiness.

Life can be unpredictable, full of moments of great joy, love, and success but can also come with disappointment, sadness and loss. Having support throughout the highs and the lows can help in the healing and make us stronger people. My goal in the session is to highlight strengths, explore the deeper cause of our emotions and actions, and to hold people accountable in a way that challenges them while lifting them up.

My ideal clients desires to live authentically and are in search of health, self discovery and thriving relationships. They are likely to have struggled with depression, anxiety, trauma, or somatic complaints for many year--and are EXHAUSTED!! I find encouragement in assisting clients to break free of dysfunctional patterns that have kept them stuck in unhealthy relationships and stressful cycles. I strongly believe that people have within them the ability to heal but that finding that inner power is sometimes limited by trauma, grief, stress, and faulty coping. A trusted therapist can help you speed up the process of healing.

It's hard to be stuck in unhealthy patterns and emotional blocks and it can be difficult to ask for help. Although there are many different reasons for seeking counseling, the common thread is the desire for change in your life. Whether it is a change in moods, situations, relationships, or unresolved loss, I believe in building a genuine therapeutic alliance with clients that models a successful relationship pattern. This includes a healthy relationship with yourself and is the basis for all other connections in your life.

Hope for change. Hope for healing. Hope for success. Are you seeking hope in your life and relationships? I have a passion for restoring healthy foundations in relationships, rediscovering hope, and finding freedom in our lives. My sessions are a safe place for you to freely explore your relationships, work through problem areas, and provide you with tools to create change.

I have engaged with various individuals from different backgrounds and presented needs, but predominantly assist adults, couples, and families in developing healthier relationships with themselves and others. I aim to help you grow in how you relate to yourself and others, your identity as a person, your ability to stay in a balanced view of reality and become even more of an adult pursuing your unique passions in the world.

I strive to support individuals, couples, & families through life's challenges. With a compassionate and client-centered approach, I create a safe and nurturing space for repair and fostering growth. I have ten years of experience in social work supporting vulnerable populations suffering from addiction, abuse, homelessness, and grief & loss. Through social work, I developed effective communication, conflict resolution, and systemic approaches to guiding individuals in change. My therapy journey began with a desire to support clients by improving communication in relationships & understanding the intricate dynamics of relationships.

During my time as a therapist, I have worked closely with adults who suffer from persistent and severe mental health, as well as substance use disorders. I facilitate conversations to help you understand these problems, analyze the root, and how they have affected your life. I have worked with clients with a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, bipolar, schizophrenia disorders, couples issues, communication issues, traumas, grief and loss, substance use, and personality disorders.

I work with individuals, couples, and families to provide therapy. I feel privileged to be given the opportunity to walk with people through the process of healing and growth as they make discoveries about themselves, and move towards their goals.

I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist supervised by Nicole Gentile, LMFT 103047.

Years of experience in social services, ministry, school education and life have led me to this calling of helping others through therapy and I am honored to get to be there for others and help them experience healing and freedom in their lives.
