Our children and ourselves are facing stressors our parents never even heard of. The negative results of this stress can be anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, relationship challenges, behavioral problems, stress that becomes chronic, and even medical issues. As a licensed mental health counselor, a mindfulness practitioner and a mother, I have developed a particular interest in teaching mindfulness skills to children, adolescents and adults (not only parents) to help them better regulate how life's circumstances impact their mental health. Mindfulness techniques will give individuals methods to protect themselves from these challenges.

My ideal client (s) is anyone dealing with any life transition or a crisis such as a divorce, career change, family crisis, etc.

As a psychologist I have several goals in therapy. I begin by developing a relationship with my patients, with the understanding that I am an expert in my field, but that the patient is the expert on themselves. I believe in educating my patients and empowering them to take charge of their lives and take responsibility for improving their situation. I teach coping skills, largely using cognitive behavioral techniques and by having patients practice by doing "homework". In addition, I explore a patient's history and past relationships, but only after first managing their distress in the moment.

I help my clients deal with depression, anxiety, trauma/abuse/PTSD, grief and loss, eating disorders, conflict in their relationships, and life changes & transitions. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, a Board Certified Dance/Movement Therapist, an EMDR therapist, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I have over 25 years experience in blending verbal therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and trauma focused therapies such as EMDR with the expressive arts (dance/movement, art, music, writing). I look forward to offering you an effective and personalized approach!

Navigating life transitions and relationships can be particularly difficult to manage especially when you are not feeling secure in your own emotional state. Through therapy, you can learn how to build a healthy relationship with yourself and with those you care most about. I am dedicated to help build happier and healthier lives for my clients. I work collaboratively with my clients to instill hope and provide a sense of understanding in a time when they feel most isolated and misunderstood. I believe human beings are inherently resilient and have a tremendous capacity to heal and grow!

There are times where life presents tremendous challenges that can feel and seem insurmountable. Childhood wounding, insecure attachment, abuse, discrimination, divorce/separations, existential crisis, and transition to motherhood can be overwhelming. Often our family, friends, and larger community, if we are connected to them, do not know to help or are compromised themselves and cannot. This is when the proverbial "sh*t hits the fan." In some larger way, we might be able to see what is happening as an opportunity to grow, but what has happened or is happening is so painful we need strong support to get through and grow from it.
