HeIlo! Welcome! Let’s meet to get acquainted with one another. I like to help clients heal and grow. Some of the issues my clients experience are Depression, Anxiety, Interpersonal, ADHD, Abuse, and Trauma. I work with clients who have dysfunctional family backgrounds, have survived various types of adversity, and are struggling with dealing with family members or others, and/or are recovering from their childhoods. Also I help with work stress, life changes, and transitions. I have personal experience with a lot of issues I help others address, in addition to years of experience and education.

I use a variety of therapy approaches (CBT, Psychodynamic, Humanstic, IFS, etc). Training includes Laurel Parnell Institute attachment focused EMDR, a 2 year certificate in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and a Minor in Women's Studies (Gender, Feminist theory, study of women). I am open to spirituality and grew up with religion. LGBTQ+ affirmative.

I would like to encourage you to start on your journey to self care and healing. You do not have to be alone with your issues and symptoms, and you do not need to continue to live in fear or shame. Now is the time to focus on yourself! Email is best to get started. Please state which insurance you have and when you are available. thanks!

I use a Hoiistic approach focusing on mind, body and spirit, and pull from a variety of interventions to find what works for you. During our first session I will ask you to tell me why you are seeking therapy at this time and to share about yourself, to the extent you are comfortable. It is okay to share about your life at your own pace. I also share resources to complement our sessions.
