As people, we often suffer in silence with wounds from childhood, adolescence, and adulthood in life. It takes great courage to acknowledge that you no longer want to suffer in silence anymore. It's no longer beneficial to say "I am okay" but truly not be okay. You are taking an ACTIVE step in your healing process and that is courageous, but you don't have to do it ALONE. I invite you to take this journey with me to give yourself the greatest gift, the best version of YOU FOR YOU.

I am trained in EMDR, DBT, CBT and Motivational Interviewing and tailor treatment to the individual. My role as your therapist is to help provide the tools needed to gain insight, self-discovery and healing from past experiences, allowing you to live a happier and more fulfilling future

Headspace, where your brain is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be ignited. We believe in creating calm in the midst of any storm. Life is full of twists and turns and sometimes it is difficult to navigate. Giving yourself the time you need to overcome challenges is essential to your growth, and we strive to assist in that process. We believe everyone should feel loved and accepted no matter the race, age, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation. We hope to provide a safe space where you can not only explore your journey and self, but realize you are far greater than you know.

My clients tell me that the most surprising part of therapy is seeking help for one problem, and uncovering other symptoms or life events that contribute, usurp, or impact the original problem in ways they never knew. Therapy is exactly that. It starts with one thought or concern and moves toward resolution using rapport, trust, and open communication between the therapist and the client. Together we work to identify areas needing change, learning and practicing skills to get you there, celebrating the wins (every little one), supporting the misses, and finally providing you with the tools to meet your goals.
