Have you ever felt like your voice is not being heard? Like you had to change yourself to fit in, or because you’re ashamed of who you are? Many people have a hard time understanding their true value and settle for less than they are worth. My personal and professional experiences have led me to work with a wide range of people with different backgrounds. I've worked with families and children, children in foster care, and adults with mental health and addiction. My goal is to be a part of your team and to help you determine your own best interest.

Have you ever considered if therapy was right for you? Do you struggle with anxious thoughts, difficulty identifying what you feel, and processing difficult situations?

Do you find yourself constantly battling with past traumas that leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Have toxic relationships and experiences left you feeling on-edge and numb, struggling to break free from self-sabotage? I understand the weight of these challenges and the impact they can have on your daily life. As a trauma specialist with 17 years of experience, I use evidence-based approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in your healing journey. Whether your trauma stems from childhood experiences, challenging relationships, health issues, work stress, or family dynamics.

I consider it my duty and responsibility to help clients not be defined by their mental illness and emotional struggles, but rather by the strength and courage they possess internally to prevail. The privilege of being with people in their suffering, in their love, in their hope, and be active participants in the intricate depths of their stories is why I do what I do. If you're serious about changing your life, please reach out to me or another therapist you feel you might better connect with. If not, I hope that one day you find the courage to take the most important step in therapy, that of being vulnerable enough to seek help.

Accepting new clients! There's a reason they say "It takes a village to raise a child." Let's be honest, raising little humans is one of life's biggest challenges.

Using a playful, client-centered & attachment-based approach, I can begin to understand & communicate with your child. I can actively support & guide them as s/he/they make sense of their feelings and behaviors.
