Counseling research studies consistently state that one of the biggest factors for growth and healing are strongly connected to the relationship between you and your therapist. I take a compassionate and collaborative approach with my clients as we work through the life struggles and circumstances while drawing upon your unique strengths with multi-faceted, evidence-based practices. I firmly believe that we do the best we can even when we don't do or act how we wish. My relationship with clients is one of trust, collaboration and building insights and skills that lead to new, life-enhancing experiences.
I cherish the moments I've witnessed with children, adolescents, families and women. Their courage and healing is beautiful to be part of. I love that I get to take their journey with them as they gain knowledge, work through struggles and experience life in new ways.
Over the past 10 years, I have treated children, adolescent girls, families and adults in inpatient, outpatient, and private practice settings. My areas of strength include: anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, pediatric cancer, complex family dynamics, divorce, blended families, eating disorders, cutting, sensory, attachment, adoption, developmental milestones and gifted.
