"Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything...maybe it's about un-becoming everything that isn't you so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place" --Anonymous. The baggage we carry: stress, anger, anxiety, sadness, frustration, irritability, intrusive memories -- what if you could drop those burdens, that unbearable weight, and be your true self? Who would you be? If you knew you could be free, what would you do differently?

Hello and welcome. As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist I take pride in sharing and utilizing my over 20 years of diverse experience in the human services field.

I believe in using an integrated approach to treatment that supports the Mind, Body and Spirit to help client's reach their identified goals.

Every individual, couple, parent or family comes with their own individual needs. My goal as a therapist is to journey with my client towards healing from our pain, feeling empowered as a person and living with healthy boundaries. My approach towards this is to develop awareness into how thoughts affect feelings and lead to actions, develop healthy coping skills and address how past experiences can influence present situations.

When our children's hearts have been broken, our hearts break, too. Parents often struggle with knowing how to care for a hurting child. The child's behaviors can be challenging. A parent's own unhealed wounds get triggered. Then, there's the parenting guilt! It can be overwhelming. We understand and we are here to help.

Throughout life we face so many difficult challenges. In childhood, adolescence, and adult phases, we can encounter traumas or changes in our lives that can hinder how we interact with others and ourselves. Relationships can be complicated, particularly when we are experiencing these changes or traumas in our life. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I have experience working with all ages and developmental stages, focusing on reducing the impact of trauma and increasing positive relationships with self and others.

You are not alone! As your therapist, I am committed to your healing and providing a safe, non-judgmental space where we can work through any negative self-talk and find solutions. We will explore therapeutic approaches, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Interventions. Together, we can confront anxiety and depression head-on.

Have you felt like giving up lately? Are you suffering from intense sadness, fear, grief, anger, guilt, or a broken heart? Has trauma or loss turned your life upside down, making it impossible for you to cope with daily life stressors and affecting your relationships or job performance? Parents, do you have children who are so disrespectful and defiant that home has become a war zone? Do they break rules and refuse to do homework and chores? You are physically and emotionally exhausted and are finding life miserable instead of joyful like it should be, correct?
