I have been working with individuals, couples, families, and children for over 20 years. I primarily use a collaborative, strength-based approach to individual, family and couples' therapy, play therapy with children, and when working with diverse populations. I believe that the majority of people have an internal desire and wisdom that directs them toward healing and changing for the better. Similar to our bodies, the brain naturally knows how to heal given the right conditions. I believe that my role as a therapist is to help people tap into the resiliency of the human spirit.

Life experience shapes us in ways that impact healthy and unhealthy patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Seeking help in navigating the impact of challenging life experiences is the first step in creating emotional, mental, and physical well-being. My goal is to walk with an individual through their personal journey of growth and self-discovery as they find their way to meeting their objectives for improved mental health and well-being.

Over the years I have evolved as a therapist through having the honor of being a part of my clients’ journey. I am passionate about working with people from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds, gender identities/sexual orientations and belief systems. As a therapist I believe that each stage in life is important and it takes time to explore every aspect but it is well worth it! I truly believe that each individual needs to have the space to be themselves and to be respected enough to make decisions about their life. I look forward to hearing about your story, hopes and dreams and to help you along your journey toward wellbeing.

Life is a process and journey. When one feels stuck (sometimes chronically stuck), it is vital to understand why they are stuck and how to get moving forward again. I strive to help my clients to honestly and courageously seek to understand the conceptual nature of their problems with trauma, addiction, and relationship patterns. When clients can attend, listen, understand, validate, care, and nurture themselves, they can find their way in the journey. As couples and families learn to see each other, create and maintain safety and security, and soothe each other they can find deep and satisfying connections.

Do you avoid different places, people, or situations because they bring back memories from your past that are uncomfortable or upsetting? Have you found yourself stuck in the same behavior and relationship patterns despite your best efforts to change?

As your therapist, I will work with you to help you overcome these patterns and gain more insight into your life.

You deserve to be heard. You deserve to take up space. You deserve to feel safe and at home in your body. Showing up is the hardest part, so kudos to you for being here and looking around.

Maybe it was painful to stir up the past and difficult to put overwhelming emotions into words. I can support you differently—using yoga, art, play, and nature to enhance traditional talk therapy. Together, you will learn to heal and create the life you’ve been longing for.
