I recognize that entering into a counseling relationship takes both courage and trust & applaud you for taking the time to seek a therapist who is a good fit for your needs. Above all, I believe that Your Story Matters. I support adults in unpacking their unique stories in a meaningful way. I approach counseling from a collaborative lens that honors the complexity of identity (ethnicity, gender, disability, language, sexual orientation and any other factors that relate to an individual's personal, societal and cultural experiences).

As a professional, and a parent I truly understand there is no greater joy than seeing your child happy and healthy. I also know there is no greater heartache than seeing your child unhappy. For adults: stress, anxiety, and depression can diminish time with families. For children: poor self-esteem, decreased confidence, bullying/ loss, academic struggles or a disability can impact friendships,family, and academics. I specialize in working with people who have experienced a twist in life that they were not expecting. I have 25 years of treating adults and children who want to reclaim control of their lives.

I believe that people have primary accountability for their own lives, and that within each of us is the power and capacity to make choices that will lead to happiness and fulfillment. However, sometimes there are obstacles that must first be overcome (for example, anger, depression, trauma, anxiety, sexual identity issues, relationship problems, etc.) to be able to make healthy choices. I assist my clients along their journey of self-discovery as they learn how to empower themselves to overcome their obstacles. They then are able to make choices that will lead them to the life they want to have.

I am passionate about supporting clients in building self-trust. I see therapy as an uncovering and strengthening of your authentic self rather than a top-down analysis. I am specifically trained in EMDR for the treatment of PTSD. I combine EMDR with Internal Family Systems and cognitive restructuring to practice curiosity toward young parts of self, as well as to challenge core beliefs that impact mood and behavior.
