As I feel called to compassionately serve others through therapy, I am eager to hear their story and spend time processing what that means to them. Everyone has their own unique situation and journey they have been on, and with that we can collaboratively find coping skills, practical goals, and help make sense of what they have been going through. Although being vulnerable in therapy may not always be easy, we can work at a comfortable pace in hopes of healing. Anyone who has the willingness and desire can benefit from therapy. It is my hope they may learn to increase self-awareness to live a better version of themselves.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I am trained to help guide you through life’s ups and downs based on your achievements and assets.

I am EMDR Certified and specialize in EMDR and IFS informed EMDR to treat acute and chronic PTSD as well as perinatal mental health and anxiety / mood disorders.

I enjoy working with children, teenagers, young adults, their families, and adults.

Everyone deserves a chance at improving themselves. Therapy is the journey of self-discovery and along the way you can self-heal. My approach as your therapist is to guide you in your self-discovery and we learn together where the healing within yourself needs to begin. You are the expert of yourself and what you need. As your therapist, I am here to provide you with a warm, welcoming, and respected environment that allows you to feel open and vulnerable. We will create short-term goals in doable doses that will promote the growth you desire within yourself. I am currently working with adults and teens virtually.

If your emotions feel overwhelming, and they're trying to signal you that they need your attention, I am here to help you. I provide a safe, comfortable space to explore who you are and work with you to provide a better understanding of you. I am here to help you learn to identify and access your feelings. I offer encouragement to help you get to your goals. With me, you can speak openly and fully about your anxieties and fears.

My approach to counseling is to hold sacred space with you- this space and dedicated time is especially sacred in the hustle and bustle of life. To prioritize, slow down and explore your human experience might feel like a luxury, but in fact it is a necessity. Sometimes life pulls us so hard, that we are forced into this space, other times it is a slow burn that builds. When we listen carefully, we often can figure out what we need, lovingly challenge the thoughts that do not serve us and take steps to connecting to our authentic selves.

Do you feel overwhelmed, stressed out and tired before your day even starts. You wonder how other people juggle home, work, school, family and still look like they have it all together. We often encounter many challenges, transitions, and unexpected circumstances. Sometimes we handle these bumps with ease and others we experience overwhelming sadness, pain, loss, and anger. How would it feel if you could manage your to-do list and enjoy your life where you feel empowered and confident as a woman, as a student, as a mother, as a friend?

Feeling overwhelmed or stuck? Are you struggling with a life transition? Do you experience difficulties in relationships? Maybe you feel stuck in emotional or behavioral patterns that seem to be holding you back. I provide a welcoming, accepting space and offer skills to help you achieve more clarity, confidence and connection in your life. My life and work have taught me that we all suffer and struggle. But they've also shown me that we all possess within us a well of wisdom, resilience, and compassion. The suffering we endure can make it very difficult to access this inherent strength. We can easily become lost, disconnected.
