My passion is helping individuals move through challenges and toward living life as their most authentic self through exploring and utilizing the personal energy and wisdom they already possess. This may include navigating significant transitions while maintaining a sense of self, finding strength and meaning in dark times, or facilitating present moment awareness and joy. Each of us has unique, complex stories which, at times, can create internal conflict, blocking us from moving forward. I work with you to accept and integrate conflictual parts of your experience and self so that you can move forward with increased self-awareness, self-appreciation and openness to experience.

I am a Licensed Marriage and family Therapist (LMFT #106019). Being a therapist is my second career. After nine years of working with children with disabilities a local school district I decide to return to school where I earned my Bachelors Degree in Psychology. I continued on to earn my Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology. I am also trained in working with SandPlay Therapy with both children and adults, as well as, art and play therapy with children.

Therapy offers the opportunity to share with someone, maybe for the first time who you really are. A safe therapist will help minimize feelings of shame and guide you toward deep appreciation for the younger parts of yourself that protected you from overwhelming pain. Unprocessed pain makes it difficult to trust that the people you care about most are attached to you. In couples therapy both sides likely feel unseen, alone, and fearful that they are not worth being loved the way they desire.

The process of finding a therapist can be overwhelming. I am here to provide an open, warm, and genuine environment where you can feel safe and find peace. My passion is helping others. I've been a therapist for ten years. Based on my education and life experiences I believe working through our struggles provides an opportunity for a more satisfying and fulfilling life.

My goal is to offer a compassionate and supportive environment for people to experience change. Change and growth can take a different form with each unique person or couple. Growth can be seen in the different perception about a ongoing issue, a greater insight into ones emotional experience, or through actions taken towards a new direction. I recognize that throughout life there are many moments that come unexpectedly and a supportive grace filled relationship is helpful in finding direction and pursuing change.

I believe joys and struggles in life stem from relationships. The relationship may be with yourself as you seek to establish your identity, values, and goals. Your relationship with others, such as your parents, spouse, children, co-workers, or friends, may need to be developed, redefined, clarified, or understood. Trauma, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem are a few of the things that can hinder people in building the relationships they want. I am passionate about helping individuals, women, couples, and families build the relationships that bring them a sense of belonging and satisfaction.
