Many people have experienced trauma and deep woundedness, but we don’t have to keep living out those stories in our present lives. These messages and stories that we’ve learned about ourselves may be the major voice in our head, but they don’t have to stay that way. My passion is helping clients connect with the true version of who they are now and learn coping skills and strategies to reconnect with all parts of themselves. This reconnection allows them to function their best in all their relationships: personal, professional, and most importantly their relationship with themselves.

My role as your counselor is to assist you in being able to deal with life's issues. I have a fairly simple approach. I work with you to identify the root of the problems in your life (depression, anxiety, family conflict, stress, issues with kids, etc), and then we collaborate together to find solutions that fit your needs with the goal of a healthier, manageable and more fulfilling life. Also, I know that life is hectic and I do my best to accommodate your schedule at my physical office, as well as offering telemedicine services if that is more suitable for your busy schedule.

Although I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting you, I already know that you are brave. Taking control of your mental health journey can be challenging and confusing. Sometimes, we experience seasons of life that negatively shape our view of self and the world around us. If you have been experiencing heightened anxiety, feelings of hopelessness, or stuck in the holds of depression, I want you to know that there is hope. I am very passionate about working with children, teens, adults, and families who are trying to find their purpose and joy after a trauma. My goal is to walk alongside you in this exploration of self and healing.

If you want to live more "on purpose", we will work together to facilitate just that. Few people can avoid struggles in life and sometimes these struggles are overwhelming, especially when faced alone. In therapy, solutions to your problems become obvious and you will be supported professionally to make them happen. Your relationships will improve and successful coping skills will be taught. How you feel is important and what you do in your personal life with regard to those feelings even more so.

Life brings about many issues that we often want help working through. Irvin Yalom wrote “it’s the relationship that heals," and I aim to build a strong therapeutic alliance with each of my clients in a safe, warm, and empathic environment where we will work together to determine your specific goals for therapy, identify strategies to make your desired changes, heal wounds, increase your coping skills, and improve your overall health.

We work with a variety of clients and issues, using a person-centered and solution-focused approach. We believe the client determines the focus of therapy, and although we are trained counselors, we respect our clients' knowledge of themselves and their needs. We are open to using alternative methods of treatment when needed. We provide a safe environment in which we can work together to solve problems and enrich clients' lives.

I crafted PEACE Center, LLC. to serve neurodivergent children and families in the Auburn community. I use a team approach to better provide tailored interventions and a higher level of care. Though I use play and am trained for trauma and anxiety, my expertise is with neurodivergent children, adolescents, and very new adults and their supports -- especially those with Tics, OCD, ADHD, and Autism. My goal is to come alongside through affirming, creating allies, advocates, community, and connection to resources through the use of a variety of therapeutic interventions, intentional partnerships, research and training, groups, and more.

It is important for me to create a safe and warm environment so that my clients feel comfortable enough to explore their world and emotions. I utilize a client-centered approach as well as integrate creative techniques that best support my clients at different moments of their lives. I look forward to working with you or your child/adolescent in gaining confidence and understanding of themselves and the world around them.

My goal is to support my clients in becoming the best version of themselves and to help them achieve the self they aspire to be. I am committed to providing a safe and supportive space where my clients can explore their identities, overcome obstacles, and thrive in their personal and professional lives.

I enjoy working with adults, children and adolescents. I believe that the central healing factor of effective therapy is a strong therapeutic connection or relationship between the client and the therapist. My goal in therapy is to offer a safe, warm haven to the client where they feel accepted and free to express the issues that brought them to therapy. I use an eclectic approach to therapy using a variety of theories and methods to approach the needs of the individual client.
