Therapy can feel like a scary step to take. Even more it can be a struggle to just share one's needs/stories. Which is why Diego and I work with each of our Clients in making that fear go away and assisting everyone in feeling comfortable and at ease. One of the first priorities I focus on is working with that fear, that uncomfortable feeling--It Gets Better. Diego is an amazing asset to this team as he will provide comfort to those who experience anxiety during therapy. He can provide decompression for those working through trauma or those experiencing sensory challenges.

My experience includes substance use disorders, anxiety disorders, grief due to pregnancy and infant loss/infertility, and more. My treatment approaches include, but are not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Faith-Based Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing (MI).

You are perhaps feeling disconnected from yourself and others. I can help you to "zoom in" and "zoom out" to better investigate what's happening, what is important to you, and to help you to shift towards your authentic self. My passion in this work comes from guiding individuals toward life goals, healing, growth, and discovery within. I combine various modalities tailored to address blockages and increase momentum in your life. Perhaps you are not yet on your own timeline or feel like you are living someone else's life.

Life can be challenging, and most of us need help at one time or another. I offer a safe place to process thoughts and feelings, a place to be heard and understood - an experience that is increasingly rare in our modern, fast paced lives. Taking time to explore your interior world can be a tremendous opportunity for growth in your own sense of well-being and in your relationships with others. I enjoy working with adults and children, couples and families, focusing on your personal challenges and empowering you to find a way to meet your goals.

I believe that healing that takes place with another person present is sacred. I enjoy working with clients at any stage of the healing process, from just starting their journey to feeling confident in their abilities. We will create a safe, supportive environment for you to explore yourself and become the best possible you through listening, education, and creative counseling techniques that are NOT Freud's psychotherapy. I love it when clients bring in questions, ask for homework, and commit to the process of counseling. At the same time, I have worked successfully with numerous clients who weren't so sure about going on their journey yet. If motivation is lacking, I like to provide a sounding board for clients who want to be inspired and empowered to decide what's right for them. I regularly ask my clients to get their hands dirty so that in the future, you will have the tools and coping skills you need to embrace your life. Much of counseling is a "choose your own ending" adventure novel, and when you are up for those twists, I'll be right beside you so you do not have to walk through the dark alone.

Expression, in all of its forms, is empowerment. Being able to trust someone and feel safe with them is instrumental in amplifying expression. This is why it is important to find a therapist that is a good fit for you. Clients may carry experiences that they do not have the words for — and that’s okay. As an art therapist, I use the creative process to support clients in connecting with themselves and build self-confidence and compassion. I specialize in working with survivors of trauma and individuals who are facing challenges related to self-worth, depression, anxiety, family conflict, and interpersonal difficulties.

Feeling trapped in life, with a roaring in your ears and locked up in your thoughts, ignoring everything around you? Have you ever experienced moments where it feels like an overwhelming darkness is consuming you? Sometimes depression and anxiety can feel like they are devouring you, and all you can do to keep from screaming is to make yourself invisible and hope that nothing else comes your way as you struggle through your cocoon of darkness. However, as one of my favorite authors, Sarah J. Maas, says, "Only you can decide what breaks you."

I can provide a safe space where clients can explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors freely. Regardless of cultural background or personal lifestyles, all are welcomed to explore themselves, their needs, their goals, and any concerns they may have, through a relaxed and nonjudgmental therapeutic experience. I aim to encourage, highlight, and empower those who seek clarity through difficult situations or when life appears most murky. Navigating through difficult thoughts or experiences alone may appear daunting at times. You are not alone and therapy can be that outlet to which you will be able to create your own path to healing.

I offer individual, family and group therapy.

Achieving healing with mind and body. I can help those that have not had success with traditional therapies. I will offer sessions in person and on Zoom.

Let’s get real- we all need help sometimes. At any age, trying to make sense of the world can feel overwhelming. Is Mercury in retrograde? Maybe. But it doesn’t change our ability to help ourselves. Together, let’s turn down the noise and regain control over what is really important to you. Therapy should be engaging. I work with clients to find ways to connect in a real way using games, music and art. Difficulty with communication? What about navigating all life's transitions? Together, we will create a safe space to navigate these challenging areas and to find the way to peace and purpose.

Life can be a wild ride and finding your way through it can feel like an overwhelming task. However, you don't have to navigate this path alone. I believe that many of our challenges stem from normal reactions to unusual circumstances. My goal is to assist you in delving deeper into your understanding of yourself, your life, and your relationships, ultimately guiding you towards acceptance rather than struggle. Together, we will pinpoint the values you wish to nurture, compassionately confront any obstacles, and utilize creative techniques to help you craft a life that is both genuine and purposeful.
