I believe I bring a wide breath of experience to the table as a former Elementary School Counselor/Early Interventionist Specialist as well as Community Mental Health therapist. Twenty years experience treating children and their parents who have experienced trauma. I also have experience working with adults and children with special needs. EMDR trained.

I work with clients who have neurodevelopmental concerns. Clients I typically see, their parents are concerned their children either have ADHD, Autism, Language deficits, intellectual disabilities, or family dynamics that have impacted their daily functioning. At times, aggression, mood, or trauma issues may be present; which make it difficult to determine what the issue is. Additionally, parents periodically want clarification on how their child thinks, and a neuropsychological assessment is best suited in this situation. Difficulties with learning, understanding, or emotional regulation may lead parents to chose this route.

Hey there, I absolutely love partnering with couples and helping them nurture a relationship that's full of love and security. Thanks to my training in PACT and years of experience, I have a keen understanding of the unique dynamics & needs of each relationship.

To deepen your bond and teach positive conflict resolution. Tying the knot? I offer premarital counseling for a solid relationship foundation. Remember, navigating love's beautiful, yet complex journey doesn't have to be solo.

As a psychotherapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. As individuals progress through life challenges, therapy can be a vital component to navigating relationships, life stresses, and increasing self-understanding. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) therapy-recommended as an effective treatment for disturbing memories, stressor disorders, PTSD, trauma and verbal abuse.
