The most important factor to successful therapy is the therapeutic relationship. My approach is to provide acceptance and understanding with intentions for transformation. It is through connection with others that we grow. Each individual holds a unique story, encompassed by their body-mind-spirit. I have found that an integrative approach is key to becoming unstuck from life's challenges and patterns. Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, traumatic stress, grief, or co-dependency? I honor where your are in life AND will help you to explore your vision for the future. Let's collaborate to create sustainable change.

My therapeutic approach is an interweaving of strengths-based, solution-focused, and family-systems modalities. I often tell my clients, “you are the expert on your own life,” which means that I will work with you to identify ways to create the life you want - where your actions support your aspirations.

I work with children, adolescents, and young adults. I believe that the therapeutic process is fostered by building a trusting and empathetic relationship. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgemental space to explore and process ones experiences. Many children and teens struggle with a variety of emotional challenges. Therapy can help them to explore the different areas of their lives and learn skills that they can use to feel better about themselves and their situation.

I help young adults to seniors with anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, and grief. Seeking help can be intimidating, especially when you feel alone and misunderstood. You may try to avoid “burdening” others with the weight of your worries. I’m trained to support you in finding relief for symptoms holding you back from enjoying life. I create a supportive therapeutic environment by giving clients a safe space to share their experiences, thoughts, and emotions without judgment. I build rapport with clients by getting to know them and providing them with empathy and unconditional positive regard.

Hope and happiness are achievable by improving your mental health and well-being. I provide therapy to the “whole” person with support, validation, non-judgment, guidance, and compassion. My breadth of knowledge consists of trauma-informed care using different approaches to customize your experience and healing journey. It takes a lot of courage and vulnerability to ask for help. I provide a safe space to talk about your struggles and challenges and I welcome vulnerability and the processing of emotions. I equate vulnerability as a strength, not a weakness.

Making the decision to change is difficult. Emotional growth does not come easy but we all have choices to make: living by default is not really living. I have over 25 years of experience in the mental health field, practicing in a variety of settings and collaborating with many different disciplines. Everyone of us has a story to tell. I believe in human greatness but understand the challenges posed by our human condition. We are all unique and our quests and journeys are different; however, the search for connection and meaning are universal. I encourage action and purposeful steps. Please call or email to schedule appointment.

I began as a teacher and since 2018 have worked as a therapist. My clientele have come from diverse backgrounds. I've worked with my clients at resolving symptoms of depression and/or anxiety. Often these symptoms have resulted from trauma. I believe that there are unique and important aspects to every person and that this requires a tailored approach for treatment. I particularly enjoy working with adolescents and young adults. My areas of clinical interest include parenting, trauma resolution, and the development of positive coping skills.
