I specialize in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT); treating sexual abuse, physical abuse, PTSD, depression, anxiety and removal from birth parents/caregivers.
"Don't expect everyone to understand your journey. Especially if they've never had to walk your path." Zig Ziglar. In therapy you have the opportunity to address challenges and struggles while learning effective coping skills in a non-judging environment. I assist you by providing a non-biased perspective and together we develop goals that are reasonable and achievable. As a mental health professional, I have had the remarkable opportunity over the last 15 years to work with diverse populations and a wide range of clients which include infants, children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.

The following are my trainings and certifications; Certified in CPI (Crisis Prevention Interventions) - Certified Parent-Child Interaction Therapist (PCIT) - Trained MAP Therapy - Trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - Trained in Mindfulness Counseling.
One of the most important things that therapy can help you to achieve is awareness. Awareness allows for change. This is a phrase I have coined that you will hear from me often. When we achieve awareness within ourselves, awareness of our environment, and awareness of our patterns of thoughts and behaviors - that's when positive changes can start to happen. As your therapist, I will be an additional resource for you as you endeavor to explore the areas of your life that need your energy and attention. You and I will develop a therapeutic relationship wherein we get to know one another and we work together toward your treatment goals

Using powerful modalities of somatic evidence-based approaches such as EMDR and Brainspotting, expressive arts, and transformative justice we can together ignite imagination, creativity, and healthy relationship building. These approaches help people live with a greater sense of ease and purpose.

One of my favorite quotes about therapy reads, "The true counselor seeks to understand people from the standpoint of appreciation...it is like inviting the traveler in from a snowy and chilly journey to sit for an hour before the fire." This is my approach. I strive to provide a warm, non-judgmental presence with the curiosity and tools to help you free yourself of what you think you "should" be and accept and love who you are. I will support you in learning to cultivate deep and meaningful relationships and find safety in vulnerability and connection.

Despite our inherent need to search for meaning in life, none of us were given an instructional handbook on how to achieve happiness and well-being at birth. Even under the best of circumstances it is difficult to cultivate inner peace while navigating the difficulties of social expectations, residual childhood experiences, emotional regulation and forming social connections. When trauma is added to the equation, life becomes a constant act of coping instead of growing. If you feel like your journey has become wrought with indecision, impulsivity, or emptiness; it might be time to invite someone to walk alongside you.
