I help individuals and couples break unhealthy patterns and remove barriers to create the life they want. I provide you with tools of proven treatment strategies to create solutions that work for your life.

Complacency is not always a good thing, sometimes you must be uncomfortable to be successful. We as humans need help from neutral parties to help us understand things that have been passed down generation to generation, to process the unspoken, the unknown, and many other difficult conversations we don’t want to have with people that know us. I have an interest in women issues, generational issues, families, couples, social justice, and I am sex/kink positive.

Hello. I am a Resident in Counseling who works with individuals, children/adolescents, and couples.

You're looking into therapy, so let's do it. I offer intensive Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) to fast-track your recovery. Your problems didn’t develop an hour a week, so why should your therapy? If you are experiencing flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, or painful emotions that you don't want to talk about, EMDR offers a way for you to work through your experiences without having to share all the details. If you feel stuck with weekly therapy or have been reluctant to open difficult issues week after week, intensive EMDR can help. We can past in the past, so you can figure out what to do next.

I welcome individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, maternal mental health, co-occurring disorders and those who may experience stress from daily life experiences. Clients with addiction-related challenges appropriate for outpatient care are welcome as well. Let's work together to make your ideal day happen!

Change can be frightening but exhilarating as well.

Communication can be difficult for kids with Autism; they find it much harder to have conversations and relate with other people. Some children with the disorder have difficulties in developing, understanding, or using spoken language, while some have no verbal language at all. Some have a hard time with eye contact, while others can’t understand the importance of the exchange of facial expressions and gestures. That’s not to say kids on the Autism don’t communicate at all – they certainly do. But they have their own way of doing it, like using words in unconventional ways.
