I am also

and EMDR trained.
My cornerstone is meeting my clients where they are, fostering the growth of interpersonal support that will equip them to heal from their past and navigate desired change. I strongly believe that in order to truly understand who we are today, we must first understand where our core beliefs and values developed. I will help explore the life course and challenge my clients to discover pivotal moments, behaviors and thought patterns that will allow them to live a life in which self-esteem and self-worth reflect in everyday decision making.

Some of my areas of interest include
trauma focused
modalities that get us reconnected with our authentic self.
I have been working in the mental health field for about 8 years. Most of that time has been spent working in psychiatric hospitals completing psychiatric evaluations, group therapy, individual therapy, and crisis intervention. While I have enjoyed this work, my heart is drawn more to a holistic way of healing. I have met many people over the years who are looking for a different approach than the current medical model is providing. I would like to help others get to the root cause of their mental health issues.

My passion as a clinician is to empower individuals, couples, and families learn how to live life free from the emotional, mental, physical, sexual, and spirituals struggles as a result of past and present issues and circumstances. My goal is to allow clients the freedom to express self openly, without judgment, and realize they are the expert and my role is to provide additional insight and guidance. I once read that when the student is ready the teacher will appear, the same concept is true for therapy, when the client is ready the therapist will appear.

NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS!!! Sometimes a past traumatic experience can resurface at a time that we are least expecting it. Finding friends and family members who are supportive can become difficult. We simply don't feel heard or understood. Life can also continue to throw unexpected situations in our way that we do not feel ready to face. I love working with clients who are trying to find themselves in different stages of their life. I have experience working with clients who have past trauma, divorce, martial disagreements and blended family conflict.

I am certified in
Trauma Focused
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Different phases in life can feel stressful, anxiety-provoking, or nearly defeating. Finding a counselor can feel like a difficult step, but a step in the positive direction for growth and more self-compassion and understanding. Finding a counselor who can create a supportive and safe environment for growth is essential. Whether it is due to life adjustments such as, changes in relationships or your environment that are causing feelings of anxiety, stress or depression, it is essential for a counselor to establish a role that is conducive for growth, safety, and trust. Becoming a client's advocate and support is a crucial.

Accepting NEW clients! Navigating this world can be difficult for children, parents, partners and couples. Our past pain and trauma can further complicate this journey. Sometimes the only way to heal is to “Play It Out!” I enjoy helping children, adolescents, parents, and adults heal, grown and learn so they can thrive not just survive. Humans tend to do what we know until we know more...come learn what more is! My training in cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and trauma-focused, cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is integrated with play therapy, sand tray, trauma sensitive yoga, mindfulness, and other experiential techniques.

I am a
trauma focused
therapist, EMDR trained and with specialization in combat and first responder occupational trauma, as well as moral injury.
Hello and thank you for stopping by. When we say trauma, our go to is typically one event that has left us with symptoms of post traumatic stress. However, accumulated life cycle and emotional traumas can have significant impact to our function as well. These are the events that test our resilience and our emotional survival on a daily basis. Over time, it can feel as though “it” has changed us in a way we struggle to articulate. Sometimes we lay awake at night wondering how can we ever get back to normal. Sound familiar? I am here to help.

As sentient beings we may encounter many different obstacles on our life’s path or simply come to a point where we can benefit from a bit of support, evaluation, gaining insight, and help. Relationships, loss, grief, trauma, adjustment to changes in life (whether they be positive or negative), and much more are only some of the things that can bear impact on our daily lives and emotional health. So, if you are ready to commit, reevaluate some aspects of your life, and receive the support you may be in need of, you’ve come to the right place, and I thank you for your initiative and consideration.

I am certified in
Trauma Focused
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and can work with different ages by helping desensitize clients to trauma memories by processing, teaching coping skills, and changing cognitions.
My experience includes working closely with professionals, including law enforcement and CPS, to provide justice and healing to individuals who have experienced abuse. I am truly passionate about counseling children, adolescents, and teenagers to help them find their voice and empower them to take charge of their own healing. Along with teens and children, I have extensive experience working with couples and families. I believe families and couples function as systems and can work through most issues by focusing on identifying destructive patterns, working on their communication and understanding towards each other.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
