I am passionate about helping all who feel stuck, lost, or forgotten. I firmly believe everyone deserves to find their voice, and to write their own story. I also know that sometimes help is needed to rewrite this story - which perhaps has gotten derailed through trauma and hard times - and I am ready to give that support. Personable and focused, I work side by side with my clients to help them create the movement they seek.
I excel at working with a diverse group of clientele. I especially connect easily with kids, as well as their parents. Being at ease with both age groups, I am uniquely capable of helping the family as a whole. I also click with individuals of all ages with anxiety and depressive disorders, as well as with couples seeking greater connection.
I am kind and fun to be around. I am particularly fond of blue butterflies, for their symbolism of transformation. Having gone through and overcome many hardships of my own - including an ongoing battle with chronic illness as well as healing from past traumas, I have learned what a gift it is to have someone listen and truly hear your story.

I work with clients who may be struggling mentally related to their past experiences or relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the presented challenges, and collaborate to create a plan to help you along your healing journey. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use EMDR as a modality to treat trauma. In your first session, we will spend some time getting to know what your presenting challenges are and then work together to decide the best course of action moving forward. I hope to help you heal the internal scars that may cause you to not stay in the present. I will be right alongside you as we embark on your therapeutic journey.
