Life is a series of twists and turns and scenic views; some breathtaking, some unpleasant. I focus on helping you make changes to become who you were meant to be even with life's detours. Whether it's solution-focused, trauma-based or identifying internal family systems, there are supports and resources available just for you and your journey.
I’m a behavioral health therapist devoted to helping individuals and families learn how to navigate life’s ups and downs while recognizing and challenging their deeply held belief systems.
My practice targets unhealthy behaviors and patterns around anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, by bringing them back to a natural balance. Previously as a school-based therapist as well as working with victims of sexual abuse, I use EMDR methods, solution focused, narrative therapy and ACT.
If you’re interested in scheduling a consultation with me, please send an appointment request.
