As a TBRI® Practitioner( TBRI® is an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children and adults.
We are all unique and so are the struggles we face daily. Being unique is great, yet there comes a time when we are faced with challenges, feeling stuck, frustrated, angry or simply misunderstood. It is during these times that it is beneficial to seek someone outside of that current situation for fresh insight, an objective perspective and a listening, non-judgmental ear. Sometimes an outsider looking in may be exactly what you need in order to identify and develop the best solution to meet your unique and individual needs. Life is full of ups and downs- in therapy we learn how to maneuver through the waves of life.

I am interested in working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.
I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to face the deep and dark areas of your story, come eye to eye with your fears, and believe that you deserve to live a life of peace and fulfillment. Having a counselor who will meet you where you are in your process and provide a safe environment, can help reduce nervousness associated with starting counseling services. I want to help you process life events, challenge destructive thinking, improve your ability to navigate difficult situations, and live a fulfilling life.

Relationships can be hard. Whether you’re dating someone or have been married for 50 years, every relationship has its ups and downs. You may have just discovered your partner cheated on you, or you’re merely trying to figure out how to make this relationship thing work. Maybe it feels like you barely recognize the person lying next to you in bed anymore and you feel guilty because the word “divorce” has crept into your mind.

My goal as a therapist is to assist clients in finding their own path to improve overall health and quality of life through a greater understanding of self, relationships and happiness. You are tired of feeling the way you do, and that's okay. It is brave to take this first step, and I am thankful for your courage to act. As a former teacher and school counselor, I have a wide range of experience working with adolescents dealing with anxiety, depression and school related issues, etc. I have seen how demanding this period of life can be and how having the right support system in place can make all the difference.
