I create a relaxed, fun, and personable therapy experience! I enjoy working with all individuals aged 6+. In our time together, I will teach therapeutic devices such as coping skills, symptom management, emotion identification, cognitive restructuring, and self-care. I am trained in EMDR which allows clients to reprocess trauma and combat negative core beliefs they hold about themselves. My athletic background allows me to relate to active individuals and connect their physical and mental health. I enjoy working with clients on navigating life transitions, such as graduation, moving, and new relationships.

Do you or your child feel lost, lonely, or disconnected and ready to find growth and connection? I am passionate about working with children, teens, and young adults and find the uniqueness of each client an asset. I believe in the quote I use as a tagline "Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely." It brings up the circumstance as a fact, but also the power to create change in how we look at it and grow from our experiences, mindfully. I guide my clients (and their parents) who are looking to make positive changes in their lives, need empathy, and guidance, to aid them get to a safe and secure place/play therapy room.

Hi! A few things to know about me - I believe each person is doing the best they can with what they have, and have a passion for working with those who wish to learn how to best use their strengths effectively to reach their goals. I enjoy working with adults seeking to learn more about themselves, including the patterns that may have stopped working for them. Few things feel more honorable than sitting with those who are open to challenge themselves, while honoring their needs, wants and goals. I love working with those with the desire to continue growing through every chapter of life.

I work with a wide range of adults with various backgrounds and problems. I enjoy diversity in my practice: people going through traumas, situational crises, domestic trouble or experiencing unusual stress. I am also available for doing couples work. I can focus on immediate management of the situation or longer-term changes. I see LGBTQ clients and those struggling with gender or identity issues. I have always enjoyed working with our senior citizens who have much wisdom and are usually hard workers at whatever they do.

Many of my clients have learned that their experiences can be described as "trauma", and that trauma is often "stored in the body." These experiences can range from major life events, to buildup of chronic stress, to difficult relationships from the past. My clients often are curious how their early life, attachment with caregivers, or past relationships have affected them. Somatic and relational therapy can help to heal traumas of all kinds that are carried in our bodies and minds. My collaborative and flexible approach means that you have a voice in how we work on things together, and we go at a pace that works best for you.
