Congratulations on taking the first step. Asking for help is not always easy. Together we can explore the areas of your life that feel difficult and empower you to create a more rewarding life using the strengths you already possess. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and certified addictions counselor offering individual psychotherapy to adults and teens. My approach to therapy is collaborative, engaged, and empathetic, and I provide a nonjudgmental space that feels safe for clients to explore themselves.

I have been practicing for over 15 years and see patients with a wide range of concerns and struggles. I specialize in treating eating disorders, trauma, and related issues in adults and teens. I understand that it can be difficult to seek help; therefore, I highly value establishing safety and trust in the therapeutic relationship, and allowing each patient a unique path to health and healing. I also work to collaborate with a treatment team, such as physicians and dietitians, when physical or medical issues need to be addressed.

I am a psychotherapist, holding a Master's Degree and Certification in Clinical Social Work. I counsel persons struggling with anxiety, histories of abandonment and abuse, life transitions, loss, and mood disorders. Through my former association with the community-based mental health program, Counseling Services, and the mental health clinic Villa Maria, I acquired supervised training in psycho-dynamic psychotherapy. My approach deepens personal understanding and provides a broader perspective offering freedom from self-limiting thoughts and behavioral patterns. In my private practice, I help clients relieve emotional distress, achieve their desired goals, and move toward creating healthy, enduring relationships.

My passion is working with clients who feel unsettled and anxious, yet crave peace, and are willing to go on a truth seeking mission to find it. My purpose is to help clients reclaim themselves; to put themselves as a priority and engage in self care. Clients find me when going through periods of reinvention, transition or when they are craving an authentic life. I work with clients who want to break through the myth of perfection and also those who are striving to find their voice. I believe the therapeutic process is about losing what is no longer needed rather than changing perceived flaws.

Most of my clients have experienced something traumatic. You may need validation, and to explore of the events that took place and the behaviors that followed. However, every client is different. Goals may include seeking closure, so that you can live in the here and now; or you may want to learn more about who you are and what you want out of life, moving forward. You may want to function in a different way within your family, set boundaries, and be content with the choices you make so that you are able to live authentically and fully.

I believe in you, and my greatest hope is that you believe in you, too!

Seeking help takes courage! As a licensed graduate Professional Art Therapist (LGPAT) and a licensed graduate Professional Counselor (LGPC), I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to facilitate change. My approach is strength based, client-centered, and holistically grounded. As an art therapist, clients have the option to engage in art therapy, no experience with art materials is required! Art Therapy makes it possible to express what is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to communicate with words. Using art creates the opportunity to delve into the unconscious and parts of the brain in which words do not exist.
