I have over 10 years of experience working with individuals and families who suffer with trauma, grief/loss, spiritual issues, depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem issues, mood disorders, relationship struggles, and general life concerns.
I have a passion to help people find hope and healing through their difficult times in life. I want people to know that they are not alone, as well as to feel like they are heard and can be understood. I like to work from a holistic point of view by incorporating your mind, body and soul into the healing process.

I also use CBT, REBT, and motivational interviewing techniques to address issues such as depression and anxiety.
My passion is to help people recognize their inner strength so that they can reach their goals. I believe that by finding the intrinsic power that is within all of us we can experience renewed hope and motivation. I believe strongly in the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I work with clients to become aware of this connection and learn how to take control over their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in the process. I hold my perinatal mental health certification and enjoy working with clients from the initial desire to start a family, and the challenges that might bring, through the postpartum period.

My experience includes working with individuals, couples, children, teens, and families suffering from trauma, loss, depression, and anxiety.
"We are born in relationship. We grow in relationship. We are wounded in relationship. And we are healed in relationship." - Harville Hendrix. Therapy can benefit us in many ways including feeling heard, growing in self awareness, and healing from adversity life throws at us. It is also a great place to learn compassion for ourselves and empathy for others in our lives. As a therapist, I believe people are relational creatures. We can thrive or suffer greatly depending upon the quality of our relationships with God, others, and ourselves.

The main issues I can support include supporting women & mothers navigating pregnancy, postpartum, anxiety, depression, and the challenges of motherhood.

It’s easy to put yourself last, but that doesn’t mean you have to stay stuck in the cycle of overwhelm. You deserve support, space to breathe, and a path forward that actually feels good. Let’s work on that together.

During my years as a psychotherapist, I have had the pleasure of helping persons struggling with such issues as depression, anxiety, mood swings, the effects of recent and past traumas and addiction.
One of the ways I have successfully helped others is by teaching them DBT skills. DBT is a form of therapy that uses skills to help individuals regulate emotion, stop thinking in "black and white", being mindful, and improving relationships with self and others. DBT can be used in any life situation.

I have been fortunate to work with many unique children and adolescents, including many on the autistic spectrum and those with depression and/or anxiety.
Young people present unique challenges, but also unique opportunities. After almost 30 years experience working with this population, there aren't many situations I haven't encountered. There is always reason for hope. What your therapist expects influences the outcomes. As a behavioral optimist, I approach clients I work with believing that no one wants to be miserable. We all want to reach our potential, as children, adolescents, parents, families, members of a community. Every living, breathing person, whatever their age, race, gender, sexual orientation, or place in life, is capable of change. That is a firm belief of mine.

I approach counseling practically and holistically (mind, body, soul, spirit). I think it is important to consider where we all came from and how that shaped us to be the people we are today. This often looks like addressing issues that have plagued us for a long time and acknowledging how this is affecting us and others.
