My goal when working with clients is to assist them toward their goals and life plans. My work is holistic. We work with your mind, body, and spirit to transform you into a physically and emotionally healthy human being. I am Psychodynamically trained so relationships are important.

As we unravel your relationships, we resolve your issues thereby moving you to a healthy, happy relationship with yourself and others.

It is not a coincidence that you are reading this right now. If you are, it is likely that you are deciphering whether or not to take the first step in reaching out for additional support. I commend you for taking the very first step towards change and control over your life.

I enjoy the creativity and collaboration of the counseling process and strive to foster growth, change, and acceptance in a compassionate, non-judgmental, and safe environment. With a background in education and counseling, I use an eclectic approach incorporating holistic and traditional therapies to meet individuals’ needs across a lifespan.

Child therapy is my passion. I utilize a behavioral approach partnering with parents and school personnel to address issues impeding success. Often, children express their feelings and/or internal conflict through their behaviors and are seen as "bad kids." My goal is to identify and build on the child's strengths, explore what is impeding their success and to help channel feelings in a healthy way. I am here to assist your child in decreasing feelings of anxiety, reducing impulsive/hyperactive behaviors, process grief resulting from a divorce or loss of a loved one, heal from trauma, improve self-esteem and teach social skills.

I feel like therapy is a great way to learn about oneself, to find your strengths, and to improve any deficits that you have. Everyone has room for improvement and has made mistakes so it’s time to focus and build the future.

Life is a journey which is often full of twists and turns; my goal is to help you adjust to the issues you are experiencing that interfere with you living your best life, and get you back onto a comfortable path. I believe counseling is an opportunity to better understand yourself and others and I want your experience to be a rewarding and fulfilling one. I look forward to assisting you at this pivotal moment in your life.

We envisioned and created a space for clients that feels authentic and welcoming. We provide a space that is comfortably decorated and encourage a supportive environment to our clients.

I believe in the power of balance. If any part of us is out of balance; whether it is physical, emotional, spiritual or social we are unable to function to our optimal selves. I believe in addressing the whole person in order to achieve balance and wellbeing. I work from a strength's based perspective and build on an individual's unique qualities and characteristics, helping them to see the potential and strength within themselves. Once individuals are able to see their own strength-based qualities and build a healthy self-esteem, they can share those qualities with others.

As an experienced Licensed Social Worker, I have worked extensively with children, adolescents, and adults from various backgrounds.

My educational background assumes a developmental approach which explains growth, change, and consistency though the lifespan in biological, social, emotion, and cognitive areas. Developmental psychology looks at how thinking, feeling, and behavior effect one’s health and perspective.

Within the context of this therapeutic relationship evolves an understanding of what is meaningful for personalized growth.
