I assist individuals with issues such as self-esteem, anxiety, anger management, behavioral difficulties, child and adolescent development, family communication, substance abuse and more.
Counseling is a collaborative effort between the clinician and the client striving to create a warm, safe, and caring atmosphere. Some may fear the perceived stigma of mental health or may not meet criteria for an official diagnosis. For those non-diagnosable individuals who seek guidance/coaching, services may be rendered using a sliding payment scale.

With children, I use Child-Centered Play Therapy to help process trauma, regulate & express emotions, increase confidence, build self-esteem, and develop social skills.
Life can often get in the way of us taking care of ourselves and providing the space for us to grow and thrive. Stress, trauma, and difficult experiences often interrupt our emotional well-being and create emotional distress. Everyone deserves the opportunity to find their true self to experience joy. Hence, it's my passion to come alongside kids, teens, and adults, and support them in the journey toward health and happiness.

I have worked in Child Protective Services as a Foster Care Social Worker, as well as an In Home Services Worker.
My ideal patient does not exist, I truly believe anyone willing to show up to do the work, trust themselves, and build on every session is ideal because that is the most important part of the therapy process. I also believe that one of the foundational pieces of therapy is transparency. I try to remember everyone is on a different path, and their own pace concerning how they choose to express themselves. I'm known for my kindness, relatability, and willingness to adapt to my patient's needs as necessary. I take great pride in creating a safe space where patients can feel comfortable and vulnerable when working with me.
