I enjoy helping children make positive changes in their lives. I provide child therapy services for children who are experiencing social, emotional, and/or behavioral challenges. These challenges include emotional outbursts; uncooperative and aggressive behaviors; difficulty managing emotions including anger, anxiety, and sadness; and decreased self-confidence. Life experiences can be difficult for children to understand and navigate. My treatment approach combines play therapy interventions and structured problem solving to help children learn coping strategies and make positive changes.

Beginning therapy can feel intimidating, but my goal is to create a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported as you take this step toward growth.

I am the best fit for a family who has children between the ages from birth to 24 years old. I offer support to families who are struggling with challenging behaviors from their children and adolescents in home or at school. I offer a unique systemic approach that includes parents in the treatment process that is not found in many other practices. This systemic approach is extremely affective and helps keep parents in the loop and helps families complete the treatment goal faster than other approaches. As I believe therapy for children should be brief and solution focused so they can get back to being a kid.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” —Maya Angelou. It is my privilege to be a safe place for every part of your story, an advocate for your healing, and a champion of you fully becoming your authentic self. The work done in between the walls of the therapy room can be the most transformative and powerful work of your life. It is messy, challenging, raw, and beautiful. When we find the courage to face our true selves, and to be truly known by others, that is when we stop surviving and start experiencing a full and flourishing life.

It was out of my experience pursuing different professional endeavors after getting my degree in Business Marketing - small business start ups, non-profit development and management, career advisement, and teaching art workshops to adults and teens - that I discovered my passion for walking with teens, adults, and couples through counseling. This process led to my getting my Master of Arts in Counseling and has shaped a caring understanding of others who grapple with life’s challenges, disappointments, traumas, unmet longings, and distant dreams.

Does your cup feel empty? Are you surviving and not really thriving? As an artist, art therapist, and counselor these questions are instrumental to my work. I'm most passionate about using vulnerability as a strength to foster a brave therapeutic space that recognizes healing beyond mere coping and symptom reduction. I truly believe in the power of therapy and creative self-expression in helping individuals develop greater self-awareness and meaning-making to meet their holistic needs (mind, body, and spirit). Using an array of expressive arts and traditional therapy tools post-traumatic growth and healing can become more tangible.

You’ve got it together on the outside—successful, ambitious, and driven. But on the inside, it doesn’t always feel that way. You’re overwhelmed by pressure, and your relationships aren’t as fulfilling as they could be. You find yourself saying “yes” when you really want to say “no.” Perfectionism and people-pleasing are wearing you down, and you’re not even sure of your “why” anymore. You want more from your relationships and life—something deeper, more meaningful, that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.

I recognize that there are many difficulties that a person may go through in their lives, whether they be related to relationships, anxiety, trauma, or other life stressors. I believe that with the help of therapy these difficulties can become lessened, and you can learn the skills needed to live a more fulfilled life. I work with people from diverse backgrounds and consider myself a member of the queer community. I believe that it is important to create a safe space for all people to seek to help without fear of judgement.
