Everyone we meet is fighting a unique battle, and has the innate capacity to face their challenges and reach their goals. When we learn to understand our distinctive human natures, growth and change are possible. I will start wherever you are, taking time to consider your important life. I find authenticity as a therapist through an experiential approach. It is important to me to take time to listen to your experiences and understand what is impacting your overall health. I hope to provide you with genuine empathy while we create new experiences, face challenges, and grow together in the therapeutic space.

Serving adults, kids, and teens, I know all the challenges and transitions we face in life can be overwhelming. It can be so difficult to feel whole and healthy after experiencing hardship, trauma, anxiety, depression, or high levels of stress. If you-or someone you love-is feeling stuck, ungrounded, or overwhelmed, I offer guidance to heal deeply. Using techniques that address body/mind/soul, I invite you to heal in a way that honors all that you are, & all that you've been through. With the right support, the severity of symptoms of ADHD, depression & anxiety, life transitions, grief, or other struggles can be reduced.

As humans, we mistakenly forget to take care of ourselves causing us to overestimate our weaknesses and underestimate our strengths. Allow me to help you explore your strengths to give you the courage to create change within your life.

Or maybe you have a loved one you know that recently came out and needs support to navigate their new life? Are you having issues with your friends, family or romantic partners? Are you considering opening up your relationship? These are common issues faced by many of us, and talking to a professional expert can be very helpful.

Where to begin? This question is so frequently asked and the answer is more simple than most think. The answer is to begin by allowing someone to help. Just allowing someone to provide you a space where you can begin your journey with support and acceptance. At the Center For Healing And Hope, therapy provides an environment of acceptance and understanding in which you and your therapist can work together to address any difficulties or challenges you may be facing.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with an emphasis on a holistic, trauma-informed, and cognitive behavioral approach.

I have experience working with children, families, and adults in a variety of areas including trauma, stress and adjustment, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationships, and attention and impulse concerns.

I believe that childhood interactions play a huge part in the development of psychological pain, wounds, and hurts. I am sensitive to the process of therapy and work hard to make it a safe and trusting space for you and myself to work together. The here and now interactions in the room are important and I intentionally use them to foster the healing process. Your strengths and goals are important to the way I work because my aim is to free up the energy that has been suppressed by pain so that you can focus on the things that are important to you.
