I specialize in working with children and teens ( 3+) from a holistic perspective and integrate Play therapy. May be your child is struggling with anxiety &depression, and you are unsure how to help them? You may have noticed your child struggling with self regulation, high anxiety, sadness, anger issues, ADHD. May be you are a parent who is overwhelmed and wants to parent mindfully.
I strongly believes that every child has innate strengths of their own to cope with difficulties. These strengths become less dominant when a child internalizes a negative experience. Children feel safe when they communicate through play.

All people are doing the best they can with the tools they have, given the myriad of stressors they are up against. My role as a therapist is to assist clients in learning new tools and dig deeper into their internal world to find and address barriers from within. Of course no one lives in a vacuum; I find it crucial to look at how the individual relates to the world around them, from interpersonal relationships to cultural values. I recognize and value cultural differences and strive to provide anti-racist and trauma informed care.

My passion is to work with BIPOC women and families surrounding issues involving disabilities, trauma, relationship struggles, blended families, and the military. It is important for us to discuss values that you may hold closely so we can work toward aligning those values with your therapeutic goals. I want to support your healing process and help you tap into your inner self. I will challenge you and encourage you to dig deep during our time together.

I tend to work with people who have tried many different therapies which failed to adequately improve their brain-related challenges or the benefits of such therapies have plateaued. Thus, this means that my clients tend to have fairly complex symptomologies and diagnoses, sometimes they don't even have formal diagnoses due to the unique mix of symptoms. Maybe the client has physical symptoms that their physician cannot explain and says are psychosomatic or due to a history of complex trauma. I also work with children for both neurofeedback and neurobehavioral counseling, which is behavioral counseling based on neurobiology.

With nearly 20 years of experience as a social worker, I support individuals ready to explore and challenge patterns, beliefs, and narratives that no longer serve them. Many of my clients are motivated to understand how their past — especially their upbringing and family of origin — shapes their present. My ideal clients are navigating life transitions such as grief, chronic illness, divorce, parenting, custody challenges, estrangement, or identity shifts. I work with teens, young adults, and adults — including medical professionals and first responders — who are curious, reflective, and open to meaningful growth.

Trauma happens. We rarely can control it; it does not discriminate in who experiences it, and no two individuals experience trauma in the same way. The definition of trauma is not universal. What may be traumatic for one may not be for another. And the path to recovery is as unique as the experience itself. You may not have chosen to experience trauma, but you can choose your path to recovery. You have the power to recover. Trauma does not limit its impact on those who experienced it; it also impacts loved ones. It can take the form of conflict, stress and anxiety, burnout, parenting struggles, or caregiving for a loved one.
