We've all have some type of trauma in our life, whether it be something that affected us for a couple days, or something that we cannot stop thinking about after so many years. People often underestimate the effects of trauma. Many people have a fear of reaching out for help, a fear of being judged when they voice their feelings to their loved ones. I am here to create a safe and confidential environment for you to process your emotions.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I can work with you to create a safe space to explore the things that keep you stuck and address the roots of these issues rather than just the symptoms. I believe the strength of the relationship we create can be a source for change to find the resilience needed to lessen the gravity of your suffering and frustration. Sessions can address depression, anxiety, grief, relationships, family of origin issues, stress management, anger, self-image issues, self-esteem, and difficult life adjustments. I also have experience assisting individuals who are recovering from chemical dependency.

Creativity in therapy provides children and adolescents with a safe and non-verbal means of expressing their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I believe in the power of art as a therapeutic tool to heal and grow. Through the creative process, children can explore their inner world, gain insight into their thoughts and feelings, and develop a greater understanding of themselves. This self-exploration can lead to improved self-esteem and self-awareness.

I work with clients who may be struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, life adjustments, family issues, school stress, women's issues, and parent-child strains.
I believe everyone needs therapy at least once in their life, as there is no way to be prepared for every situation that life may throw at you. If you're experiencing challenges with anxiety, depression, trauma reactions, parent-child strains, school stress, recovering from an abusive relationship, navigating narcissistic relationships, life transitions/adjustments, family conflicts, low self-esteem, body image concerns, and disordered eating, then I can help.

Seeking therapy can be frustrating, overwhelming and scary. You hope to find someone who understands what you're going through, what you've been through or what you're about to face. Life can be difficult and complicated. Sometimes we feel alone and need someone to talk to or we just want someone who is not in our circle. Someone who won't judge. Someone who will take the time to listen and give a different perspective. We all have different ways of approaching problems, managing them and getting the outcomes we desire. Therapy is about finding what works best for you and working together towards it.
