As a therapist and group facilitator, I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I provide a caring and supportive relationship to clients to help them grow and change in positive ways. I enjoy working with families to create more productive and supportive family dynamics. I love working with clients to help empower them to process and heal from adverse and traumatic life experiences, change unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors, and explore and overcome shame messages that are keeping them from living a wholehearted life as well as foster hope and move towards more authentic living.

I am a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator, a highly experiential methodology based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown. I am trained in Functional Family Therapy which focuses on creating productive and supportive family dynamics. I am certified in EMDR- Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing therapy which helps individuals heal from adverse experiences.
I strive to create a welcoming, safe, and non-judgmental space for clients to explore concerns and experience true healing and growth. I would love to come alongside you and meet you where you are at as you begin this journey!
