As we know, life does not always work the way we want it to work. Our well-meaning attempts to make life work, too often become patterns that keep us from fulfilling the life we were made to live. When we can’t change these patterns, we get stuck. When life isn’t working, we need help. And NO, It’s never too late to change. Therapy is a collaborative, interactive process between patient and therapist. During this process, the therapist can treat specific issues (e.g. anxiety, depression, adjustments, sexual integrity, trauma, etc.) or everyday concerns (e.g. relationships and family problems, career issues, etc.).

Whether you need to do some healing or just want some help sorting yourself out, we can do that together. Anything from the very small (counseling) to the very large (trauma-focused psychotherapy with internal family systems or IFS), or doing energetic and somatic work (trauma and tension release exercises or TRE), I offer to follow or guide you on whatever journey you need to take. Part of this journey may be building skills or developing coping strategies. Another part may be forming a totally new relationship to whatever challenges you face, whether those challenges seem to be outside or inside of you.

Life is difficult, messy and very beautiful. My desire is to help you find your potential and sorting through the messy and uncomfortable times in one's life. I have over a decade experience in the mental health field. In counseling I have been a licensed therapist since 2015. I have provided counseling and therapy services to people of all ages and diverse backgrounds. I utilize Cognitive behavioral therapy, some DBT skills, ACT Skills, and person center approach to help change one's perspective and challenge their old behaviors.

I like working with individuals with a wide array of problems including: depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, relationship problems, behavioral disorders, substance abuse, impulse control problems, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, family problems, life skills deficits, and problems with decision-making. I provide compassionate care and I am an efficient and effective counselor who uses evidence-based approaches like CBT and EMDR.

My approach to therapy is to listen with a warm and empathic ear so that you can feel heard and begin to heal. I believe you have it within you to grow and change, and my role is to guide therapy and encourage you along the way. I will provide you with feedback and insight and consider myself to be a partner in your healing journey.

Throughout my life, I have always loved witnessing the beauty that comes from true human connection. As a therapist, I hold my clients dear and, together, celebrate the growth you experience from your hard work and dedication. Those who know me describe me as compassionate, warm, and humorous; I bring these qualities to the therapy room, so you have the most supportive and beneficial experience. Whether working with couples, families or individuals, I understand the importance of relationships with others and approach therapy through a systemic lens. Your therapy journey is unique and deserves to be treated as such.

I began as a teacher and since 2018 have worked as a therapist. My clientele have come from diverse backgrounds. I've worked with my clients at resolving symptoms of depression and/or anxiety. Often these symptoms have resulted from trauma. I believe that there are unique and important aspects to every person and that this requires a tailored approach for treatment. I particularly enjoy working with adolescents and young adults. My areas of clinical interest include parenting, trauma resolution, and the development of positive coping skills.

People often consider counseling because they notice a change in their mood, thoughts or behaviors, or are facing a serious challenge, and want relief. Working with a licensed professional counselor can help you identify your problems and assist you in finding the best ways to cope with the situation.
