Despite all you are going through, you are here looking to find someone or something to help you improve your life. Thank you for stopping to read! The world we live in can make it so hard to be authentic to our truest self, recognize our needs, act according to our values. Add that to a history of a traumatic event or persistent exposure to trauma, it is easy to feel hopeless. I am not here to convince you that therapy will be easy, but I will tell you that it is worth your time. I would love the opportunity to help you, your children, or your family find and keep hope.
I've developed my therapy philosophy based on my years studying various forms of relationships within and outside of the family unit, children in adoptive or foster households, and beyond. I find my passion in helping children and their families heal their deepest wounds through emotion-focused work, the use of art and play, and Motivational Interviewing.
I would be honored to be a guide for you and your family to find a way back to harmony, authenticity, and compassionate understanding for one-another.
