I love utilizing EMDR to reprocess triggers/trauma, play therapy when working with children, DBT to learn tangible skills, and CBT/narrative to gain control over thoughts and behaviors.
Our experience as human beings is complex. It has the power to leave some feeling disempowered and desperate to establish a new relationship with their internal world that grants them freedom from distress. As a dedicated therapist, I am passionate about helping my clients navigate the intricacies of ailments such as anxiety, low self esteem, OCD, identity concerns, and trauma. My work is grounded in evidence-based techniques that are tailored to meet each client's unique needs. I believe that when clients have a growth mindset and are willing to connect with themselves in new ways, magic can happen!

I work with children, teens, and young adults who are going through life transitions, mental health issues, and new experiences that they themselves cannot describe.
You feel misunderstood by peers and afraid to move out of your comfort zone. It is hard to fit in and you cannot seem to find your people. You feel alone and abandoned by those who you love and care for. It feels like you can’t ever do anything right. It seems you can’t make anyone happy. Maybe you feel judged by everyone. Maybe you are feeing like nobody can see who the real you is. It is time for you to take control over your life! Time to open yourself up and peel back the layers you have been hiding behind for so long.

I have over 20 years experience working with adults, families, and children.

I have a special interest in addiction (including behavioral addictions) and recovery. I love to work with families too - especially families with children.

I have over 15-years experience in evaluating children, adolescents and adults with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, personality disorders, psychosis, trauma (physical and psychological), and learning disorders.
While training at The Menninger Clinic, I found psychological testing to be an invaluable part of the treatment process. However, this component is often underused in outpatient settings. Therefore, my goal is to provide high quality evaluations to outpatients, with as much care and respect as those offered to inpatients.
