I think of therapy as a safe space to truly be heard, a place to catch your breath, and gain support in processing and sorting through difficult emotions and situations. Authenticity, humor, and connection are core values in my personal life and my work as a clinician. I believe a positive and trusting therapeutic alliance between myself and my clients can be a unique comfort and allows us to explore vulnerable emotions and difficulties while also holding space for appreciating humor and finding hope.

I hold a personnel belief that the client needs to tell their story, feel safe in doing so, and form a bond of trust with their therapist. I have worked in mental health for 14 years. My background started in Criminal Justice. My first Masters degree is in this field, and continued to a Maters in Counseling. There was always one common thread, people were broken. A broken person loses trust, in both people and themselves. Building the therapeutic rapport is the beginning of trust, and the first step to healing. Mood and emotions can be deceptive, people want to give up, isolate, may be angry or dysfunctional. Take the first step.

Are you feeling angry, frustrated, or hopeless? Does it feel like the world is ending, and it's hard to face each new day? There is a lot going on in the world and in our homes these days, and a lot of us are feeling the pressure build-up.

Everyone is dealing with stress, feelings if emotional discomfort, and general struggle. Unfortunately, not everyone has a safe place or person to help them process these thoughts and feelings in a way that you can get relief. There is nothing worse than being in the trenches of life and having no one there to remind you that there is a light and help you find it. No matter your age, gender, or current life situation, everyone needs the opportunity and the space to unpack those uncomfortable feelings and get them out. You are important and you deserve the time.

Art therapy is based on the belief that the art-making process is healing. As an artist and therapist, I guide the client through the process of drawing, painting, journaling,sculpting, craft making, etc., while witnessing his/her discovery of personal awareness and growth, as I firmly believe everyone has creative potential that can be used for one's benefit.

Everyone hopes to be happy and safe. Are you or your teenager experiencing emotional or behavioral problems and you need help? Have you or someone in your family suffered trauma and is struggling to cope? I specialize in working with teens, young adults and parents to help develop coping skills so they can work through life's problems. Skills learned now are beneficial not only for current concerns but to help with future problems as well. Everybody and every family have strengths. Identifying those strengths and using them is the key to making you feel at home again- with yourself, with your children, with your family.

Does your inner-critic scream when you make a mistake? Do people seem to like you more than you like yourself? Maybe you just feel lost, wanting things to be different even though you don't know exactly what that means. That’s okay. Life can be challenging, but challenging is not impossible. Sometimes, we just need some support. I would like to offer you my support in a space where you can feel free to be who you are, free from the pressure of who you're supposed to be, and free to discover what's important to you. Let's work together to identify the changes you want to make in life so you can work on making them.

We all have times in our lives when we need someone to talk to or additional support at various stages of growth. Life can be extremely challenging and it requires that we grow and change as we age. Getting counseling should not just be a last ditch effort when everything is breaking down in our lives (although that can be a good time too). It is also important to see counseling as supportive of our continued growth. Many mental/emotional issues were never addressed in school and now it is important as adults that we get the help we need to find the balance and health that is part of our natural self.
