Growing and pursuing personal development can sometimes be tricky! I specialize in addressing mental health issues stemming from self-worth and emotional needs. My approach focuses on helping clients achieve more differentiation of self, independence, and self-realization, where they define their existence without external interference. I also work with clients who want to establish healthy boundaries. An overly enmeshed boundary can lead to a loss of self, while a powerful one may hinder emotional expression and connection with others.

“Before you assist others, put your oxygen mask on first." Prioritizing your wellness is essential. Perhaps you feel pulled in a million directions or you have suffered a loss. Perhaps you are stuck in an unhealthy relationship or you constantly compare yourself to others. Breaking unhealthy cycles of thought can be life-changing.

I have always been passionate about helping others which is what originally inspired me to become a Licensed Independent Social Worker. I enjoy providing therapy services to children, adolescents, or adults who struggle with mental health or behavioral challenges. I use a holistic, evidence-based, and trauma-informed approach to address the unique needs, barriers, and strengths of the client I am working with. I complete a comprehensive psycho-social assessment, and use the skills and training I have earned over the years, to tailor the therapy process to each individual and where they are at in the healing process.

Children, adolescents, and adults who have faced challenging experiences in their lives or who are currently facing challenging experiences in their lives need and deserve to exist in spaces where they feel safe, can be heard and are accepted as they are. They often come to therapy because they believe they deserve to heal from their past experiences or cope with current experiences for themselves and those around them. Many of them also come to believe that they are inherently worthy of existing in a space that is safe and accepting of their authentic selves, which can be very freeing.

As humans we all have complex lives and due to this complexity, we all experience stressful events, but if these have started to impact daily life functioning and your quality of life, it is time to look at your options. The idea of therapy can be intimidating, but in reality it is an opportunity to self-reflect, promote healing, and improve one's quality of life.

Life is complicated. And our experiences (both good and difficult) impact who each of us are. I view therapy as a tool to help us reconcile all of these experiences to become who we want to be. Individually we have the choice to define who we are. We can not change our past, while we can help our minds to make sense of the many complications of life. My job is to help my clients find peace and relief from life's challenges. Help is available for a wide spectrum of conditions – for adolescents and adults.
