I firmly believe that each and every one of us does the best we can. I work with adults, teens, youth and families. I approach teens and youth just as I do adults, in a respectful, supportive, and understanding manner. I work to understand the root of the "problem," so healing may begin. I specialize in trauma, skills training, parent training, anxiety, and depression. For 12 years I worked at an inpatient setting with emotionally disturbed youth and their families. I have educated myself in a multitude of treatment modalities in order to meet each client where they are at.

I am passionate about empowering clients to gain self confidence, a stronger sense of identity and the ability to build healthy relationships. I believe how we move through the world is directly connected to our most basic understanding of our selves, and the relationships and role models we have grown up with. I also believe our culture plays a significant role shaping our identity and the relationship with the context we live in. Beginning with this understanding, I utilize aspects of different therapeutic approaches to help clients create meaningful and positive changes to live a fuller life.

As a therapist I value the connection between myself and my clients which I believe to be one of the most important components of therapy. I am dedicated to working with people who feel stuck in their lives. My goal is to help clients explore how their variety of experiences plays into the whole of their lives and find a unique solution to whatever hurdles you may face. As my client, you and I will explore the nature of your struggles and come up with an evidence-based plan to help you walk the path to healing. I am a believer that as long as you are willing to try, you can get to where you want to be.

I provide therapy and parenting support to children and families experiencing adoption, trauma and attachment needs. Each child who comes to see me is struggling with an aspect of their life story. I believe all children have the capacity to heal. My goal is to utilize compassion and kindness to help your child notice their own strengths. By highlighting these children are encouraged to then share their story with their caregivers. Subsequently I help caregivers build their capacity to bear this story. Through this process of sharing and bearing a lifelong supportive connection is built between the caregivers and child.

I am passionate about exploring your story at your own pace and helping you become unstuck, feel alive, and move towards the "you" that you know you can be. If life is currently difficult for you, allow me to provide guidance, support, accountability, and a therapeutic relationship. I specialize in EMDR therapy and find it an effective way to process difficult target memories that are stuck in our minds. For any life challenge that you are experiencing, let's get started addressing the root problem.

I assist youth and families to build and maintain strong relationships. I teach parents skills to help their children both change challenging behavior and shift to a place of deep healing and connection. I address family of origin issues with parents allowing them to cope with their past, so that they can remain responsive, engaged and calm during stressful times. I assist in working through trauma coming from child abuse, neglect, sexual assault, and violence. I assist those going through stages of grief: helping them learn how to live beyond the loss.

I believe that therapy involves combining multiple systems and environments to create who we are today. I see the people I work with through a trauma-informed lens and take their person-in-environment perspective to strengthen and encourage their personal growth.

I've been working with children, adolescents, and families for 25 years. As a parent myself, I'm familiar with the growing pains of raising a family. Each new day can be an adventure, whether we want it to be or not. I can assist you as you navigate the ups and downs of family life and parenting. I believe it's 'easier to build a child than to repair an adult.' Building a resilient, happy child begins at birth. Fostering resilience in your children through effective parenting and a supportive "village" is a gift they will have the rest of their lives.

I believe relationships have long-lasting healing power. Romantic, parent/child, friendship, or even your relationship with yourself, when these bonds are healthy, they help heal many wounds. But sometimes things get in the way of your goals for your life and relationships – trauma, beliefs that hurt instead of help, new mental health symptoms, or behaviors that aren’t working for you. I come alongside clients and help them learn new ways to understand and cope with these issues. One of my favorite things is helping couples learn to change unhealthy patterns and build the relationship they’ve always dreamed of.

Life can present us with obstacles that are overwhelming and difficult. In these moments we may need support so that we can make changes that enable us to move forward. I work with individuals and families to grow through challenges and crisis so they feel better equipped to cope with future difficulties. I strive to create an environment where your concerns are heard and it is safe to explore some of the causes of complex and challenging emotions. I enjoy working with youth and their families to create individualized treatment plans that foster positive growth.

As human beings we are incredibly resilient but weathering the storms of life can be difficult at times without additional support. Counseling can provide an outlet that allows us to explore our pain and gain an understanding of our true Self. I take an integrative, holistic, and trauma informed approach to counseling. Using a warm and open approach, together we will work to discover the resources you hold within you to promote healing and growth. I have experience working with survivors of both childhood and adult trauma.

If a relationship has reached a crisis point, you may be searching for some guidance to turn it around. Perhaps you would like help sorting out differences in your family. I enjoy helping couples and families understand each other better and deepen communication. Are you wondering why you feel stuck in the same endless loop of reactions? Do you find yourself triggered by certain situations, and you would like to get past that? Do you believe that you are not living up to the potential you know you have? I may be able to help you reclaim your best self and project it out to other people. You can learn new ways to deal with situations

Sometimes you go through an experience and it completely changes your life, and sometimes all the little stresses add up to one big obstacle. Either way, nothing feels as good as it used to, and you constantly find yourself trapped in the past or worrying about the future. You deserve a life that's free of constant emotional turmoil, and therapy can be a way to process unwanted memories, emotions, and thoughts. I won't promise you that the entire process of therapy will be easy, and I won't tell you that I can fix you; you are not a problem to be solved. What I can do is move alongside you as you shift towards the life you want.

I specialize in disordered eating and eating disorders, anxiety and OCD behaviors, complex trauma, body focused concerns, and identity exploration (i.e. gender, sexuality, etc). I work from a trauma-informed, HAES, and Intuitive Eating lens and a holistic and client-centered approach. I aim to create an accepting and affirming space that encourages personal reflection, growth, and self-empowerment through curiosity and compassion. I believe that the mind and body work together as one, and that when we become more attuned to our bodies, there is vast potential for new insight and a deeper connection to our innate wisdom.
