Empowering individuals and families to better themselves through validation and empathy has always been a passion of mine for the past 18 years professionally. It is a journey to mental wellness. I view therapy as a partnership between client and therapist. Together, I want to help you cope with past traumas, decrease anxiety/depression and stabilize your mind to improve your quality of life. Through a relational/friendly style; I want you to experience nonjudgement & feel comfortable, respected, supported and appropriately challenged when needed. You are important; you can feel differently; you are not alone on this journey.

Eating disorders and experiencing life stressors are often painful, exhausting, and really difficult to go through. People can get stuck in vicious cycles that are no longer productive but are maintained because it may be the only thing that helps.

I believe that recovery is possible and everyone is deserving of recovery. With a little support, perspectives can shift, new discoveries can be made, and recovery can be possible. I am here to help support and guide you toward your path of recovery.

I believe that therapy can be effective in helping those that suffer from addiction. I have worked in in detox, outpatient and residential treatment. It is essential in treating people affected by this malady to understand the nature of the problem involved in treating this condition. Addiction does not exist in a vacuum. Recognizing and treating other problems, trauma, anxiety and depression, and the relationship between those problems and addiction, is necessary for successful treatment. I am extensively trained in trauma therapies, including Accelerated Resolution Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

Accepting new clients. Getting support on life’s journey can be an integral part of one’s healing and growth. Looking for help can sometimes seem challenging and overwhelming, but can also be one of the bravest things you do for yourself. Everyone needs support at one point or another and allowing me to be the bridge for that healing is my pleasure and honor. I believe everyone has the ability and resiliency to get through difficult periods in their lives and want to help you learn the skills and support you in your own personal journey. I specialize in helping people cope with anxiety and mood symptoms.

Above all, therapy is a relationship. I work collaboratively with my clients to develop a safe, trusting, and attuned relationship that we can use to explore problematic patterns of relating, work through emotional tensions and conflicts, and better understand themselves. Through the therapeutic relationship, we can begin to unravel those patterns that keep people wondering, "why does this keep happening?", fully experience emotions, develop a greater sense of self-awareness and vitality, and understand how the past impacts and influences the present. Please see my website for more information.
