Deciding to go to therapy isn't an easy decision, but it certainly is a courageous move. Our world often beats us down and tells us that we should be able to deal with struggles on our own. Fortunately, we are made to walk through life's struggles together. I consider it an honor to walk with you and to help you work through challenges that are keeping you from experiencing life the way you deserve. In therapy, I use a positive, strengths based approach to help you reach your goals.

Parenting is the hardest job in the world! Yet, we are often required to learn on the job. I lead an organization that provides therapeutic parenting using several evidenced-based, trauma informed interventions. Together, I believe that we can discover the needs hidden beneath behaviors, both yours and your child’s. My approach is derived from an attachment lens, and I strive to share how to be with our children and families vs what to do with our children and families. Is your hard place is anxiety, ADHD, depression, relationship challenges, low self-esteem or managing big behaviors, good things can come from hard places.

Why settle for less than you deserve: spending your time feeling alone, unworthy, & anxious? Are you entering a new phase of life but feel lost? Maybe you're starting college, navigating parenthood for the first time, or finding yourself in a new city where you don't know anyone... It seems like everyone else has it figured out, so why can’t you? The short answer is: you can! The reality is: it comes with perseverance, commitment, & willingness to put in place the tools that will help you move forward. You can move forward! You can wake up each day feeling hopeful for & deserving of the promising things that life can hold!

Before becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I worked as a Correctional Officer and got to witness first hand how untreated mental health and substance abuse challenges bled over into so many different areas of life. I believe that people have an inherent desire to change their lives but some are unsure of where to start. Sometimes being empowered to change is a matter of learning what you don't know.

Perhaps you are here to explore how therapy can help you through trauma, relational stuck points, and cultivating a better relationship with yourself. I would love to be part of your journey as I know that the paths in life can be rocky and sometimes treacherous. At times we just need someone to help us get back up after falling down or just be with one who may have a little bit more familiarity of routes that are walked through certain terrain in life. I may not have the road map. But together we can chart a trajectory that could lead you to better outcomes and a different destination then perhaps that you have been experiencing.

The truth is, life is hard. We often find ourselves confused, disillusioned, disappointed, angry, sad, afraid, addicted or simply numb to it all. The process of counseling can and does often lead a person to a place of newfound hope, where one can experience the broken parts of their stories and relationships restored.
