I work with people coping with trauma and stress, especially stressors related to substance use, family of origin, parenting, relationship issues, and abuse.

Welcome! I am so glad you are here! I am passionate about client care and developing a therapeutic rapport. I believe our emotional health depends on our abilities to embrace our feelings, move toward social interest and attaining goals of self-worth relationships, work, and life in general.

My goal is to help clients gain accurate perceptions of who they are in the world and the world around them by giving clients the support and tools needed to traverse the difficult terrains of life.

I believe that individuals, couples and families come to therapy with unique strengths and tools that can be identified and built upon in session. Acknowledging the relationships, communities, and cultures that impact your life is essential for making lasting change. By looking at the big picture, including your internal and interpersonal worlds, we can address that issues that brought you to therapy and make lasting change in your life.
