In the counseling relationship, I view myself as a collaborator, advocate, and nurturer. I look for opportunities to better support and empower clients on their journey towards a more hopeful, healthier life. My mission is to help families/clients that are stressed, overwhelmed, or struggling with a variety of areas such as depression, anxiety, changes in life, grief, trauma, and divorce. I do not provide custody evaluations and I am not an expert witness as defined by the legal system.

I enjoy working with teens and adults . I have over 17 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, major life changes, relationship problems, ADHD, mood disorders, and life stressors. Managing through these difficult times alone can be overwhelming. Together we can meet these challenges to find a calmer, happier, you on the other side.

Are you feeling worried? Lacking energy and feeling like you are getting nowhere? Feel like you are not being heard? These are some common complaints I hear from individuals looking to make improvements in their own lives. I empower clients to develop creative and effective solutions to obstacles, with the overall goal of achieving happiness and an overall sense of contentment. I primarily utilize EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to assist clients in removing emotional blocks and to move on from traumatic experiences

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here! Working with children, adolescents, young adults , and families has long been a passion of mine. I specialize in the areas of stress and anxiety management, self-esteem, emotion regulation, adjusting to life transitions, depression, repairing family systems and parent-child bonds, and behavioral and academic challenges. I am a firm believer that connection is at the root of all healing, and am ready to hold space for you and meet you where you are in your journey.

I work with adults seeking to change their lives. I have considerable experience helping people alleviate anxiety and depression, as well as, other mood disorders. I find creative ways to help people heal from trauma they have experienced and to connect with the present. I enjoy helping people who need help to tackle substance use issues such as alcohol or other drugs. I also work with couples using EFT to rebuild the bond between partners and create a healthier relationship with emotions.

Therapy involves a partnership built upon trust, support, and a non-judgmental approach. I believe each individual has a unique story that deserves to be respected and honored. We all have strengths and abilities, powerful catalysts for resilience and desired change. While my clinical practice relies on research based treatment interventions, I highly value the importance of humor and a no-nonsense, down to earth approach to communication.

A safe, non-judgmental & relaxed space for you to be your authentic self. “Cookie Cutter" approaches do not work. Our work is set to your individual needs, and comfort level. I am an Integrative Art Therapist and I use Art Therapy, Trauma-Informed Expressive Art Therapy, Sandplay Therapy & Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT Tapping-an energy therapy). Non-Traditional therapies provide less threatening ways to explore emotions and they make it easier to express feelings that are hard to communicate with words alone. You might think, "I can't draw” that's OK. No art skills/knowledge are needed. It’s about the PROCESS, not the product.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist. I have a 19 year history in the mental health/human services field, working with people of all ages in home, community, inpatient, and office settings. Clients contact me with a variety of needs. Many have never been in therapy or have had negative experiences with therapists whom they feel didn't listen or adequately address their concerns. I strive to provide a safe atmosphere of empathy and compassion where you can finally feel accepted and heard. I offer tools, coping skills, and support to help you address current challenges and meet your goals.
