Change can be difficult -- Allow me to help you succeed on your journey! Throughout my years of experience, I've found great joy and satisfaction in helping children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families.
I work with children treating for phobias, unhappiness, divorce, grief, separation issues, abuse, neglect, poor self-esteem, and problems adjusting to life transitions. I use a combination of play therapy, art therapy, and talk therapy, as appropriate per the child's developmental level.

I work with individual adults and teenagers experiencing a wide range of concerns.
Do you feel overwhelmed with challenging emotions, like anxiety, sadness, or anger? Are you spread thin with responsibilities and doubting your ability to cope? Are you in a relationship that is a source of tension, feeling frustrated and alone instead of fulfilled and connected? If you can relate, you are not alone and there is hope. In my work, I help people find relief and discover effective strategies to navigate life’s challenges. I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space, where the authentic self can find room to breathe and grow.

Focusing on adults, my approach to therapy is grounded in creating a safe and supportive space where you can explore your feelings, process your experiences, release trauma and painful emotions from your body and brain, develop skills to overcome challenges and make meaning out of the ups and downs of life.
Are trauma, anxiety and insecurity controlling your life, preventing you from pursuing your dreams and living life to the fullest? Do you relive the past as if it were happening right now? Your head knows better, but it fails to convince your heart otherwise. As horrible as those experiences were in the past, they continue to zap away your joy and confidence today. You might even avoid situations that trigger the feelings. Are there any lost part of you that you'd like to return to? Do others believe in your competence more than you believe in yourself? What would it be like if life was driven by passion and joy, not fear or shame?

Over the years, I have worked with children and adults of all ages.
Do you ever struggle with feeling like you’re not enough? Do you feel like you have to prove yourself? Do you feel stuck and triggered by childhood trauma? The symptoms of trauma include anxiety, depression, high conflict relationships, occupational impairment, addiction, and much more. I believe therapy can help you develop a more self-awareness and actionable plan to alleviate these symptoms. I specialized in working with people who are willing to explore past, present, and future challenges and to find tools for personal growth.
