WORK. LIFE. BALANCE. If you are driven and ambitious or a passionate creative, we can work together toward a balance among the professional, personal, and inner aspects of your life. You might also want to work with me to develop concrete social strategies to navigate the challenging interpersonal dynamics of a competitive workplace. My area of expertise is identity development. I have a strong background helping people manage issues related to personal and social identity, crisis/trauma, substance abuse, and the emotions that can underlie destructive behavior. Depending upon your needs and beliefs, I also address the role of spirituality.

"Not all those who wander are lost." Perhaps that quote doesn't resonate with you; perhaps you do feel lost or even stuck. Maybe you don't look like it on the outside; you are functioning "fine". You are responsible and show up in the areas you need to show up, you have dreams and goals, but inside you feel like you are falling apart. It could be racing thoughts, a heaviness you can't shake, feeling trapped by the past, or struggling with identity. I help teens and adults struggling with anxiety and self-confidence, adults with childhood and complex trauma, and Christians wrestling with their faith.

I have a history of working with a diverse group of folks experiencing issues with trauma, substance misuse, grief/loss, crisis situations, relationships, mental health, and emotional regulation. My ideal client is curious about a new path. They are eager to learn and try new things. They want to create a life for themselves that they do not have to escape from and/or a life that honors their lost loved ones. They want this because they feel lost, confused, and/or tired of the same old patterns of suffering. I am trained in EMDR through an EMDRIA-approved program. Call the number on my website for scheduling a consultation.

Now is the time to put yourself first! Constantly taking care of everyone else's needs can take a toll. Finding the right time to say "no" to others never seems to come; meanwhile, life passes you by, and your needs are unfulfilled. Now is the time to listen to that inner voice and get the support you have needed for quite some time. Together, we will address your trauma and help you face what you have been avoiding. We will engage in empowering practices to enhance your self-esteem and address the issues holding you back from living the life you have long wanted.

I invite you to take a personal therapeutic journey to an increase in mental health, developmental disabilities, and/or substance use health and well-being, for the mind, body, and soul.
I became a Marriage and Family Therapist because I enjoy processing with individuals and listening to personal journeys to find a resolution. I was a High School performance art major and find this skill set benefical in providing supports through visual cues using various therapeutic approaches and modalities. I specialize in working with children and families in child welfare. I enjoy working with young children and teens as these are challenging developmental years, trauma and distress from systemic and familial patterns of behaviors, coupled with low parenting, coping, decision-making and problem-solving skills.

The decision to start therapy takes courage. Often the idea of talking about personal thoughts and emotions can be anxiety-inducing.

I apply art therapy and counseling techniques to increase self-awareness, reduce stress, and encourage healthy expression. I am dedicated to providing inclusive services to clients of all identities, including individuals from the LGBTQ+ community and diverse backgrounds, and strive to provide meaningful and affirming services for everyone I work with.
