We believe in the importance of both Science and Spirituality in our work. We are advocates for both Herbal and Prescription treatment and believe in the use of both Eastern and Western medical systems to treat disease and maintain health. We practice a model of therapy, coaching, and counseling which is collaborative, open and holistic in nature. Our therapeutic relationship should feel warm, safe and be connecting. This model is different than many counseling models which have a less collaborative flavor. In these models typically the therapist is the "expert" in the room and should not be challenged.

Finding the right therapist can be hard and I strive to make it a safe, comfortable atmosphere, while creating easy rapport, establishing trust and connecting on relatable topics. I have provided individual therapy to children, adolescents and young adults in outpatient settings, partial hospitalization day treatments, an alternative school and as an intensive home-based therapist for juvenile court. With my younger children/teen clients, I strive to address behavioral issues, build emotional vocabulary, incorporate SEL, improve self-esteem/worth/confidence, address trauma, heal the wounded child, and strengthen their relationships

Choosing a counselor is a profoundly personal choice and can be confusing and scary, especially for people seeking it out for the first time. I approach my clients with understanding, empathy, and support to create a collaborative environment of emotional and psychological safety in which my clients feel comfortable and secure. It is through the trust built in that relationship that the door to healing opens.

Hello everyone! I am a licensed therapist who specializes in marriage and family therapy—that just means that on top of helping with clinical mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, adjustment, etc., I am specially trained in family and relationship needs as well. I picked a specialty in marriage and family therapy because I genuinely believe that societal, family, and cultural conditions deeply influence the way we think, feel, act, and react to day-to-day interactions—which is the foundation of MFT’s systemic perspective.

Life should be about happiness! So often we are a product of our environment while being held captive by society's standards, taboos, and the expectations of those around us. It is amazing to learn how quickly we've adopted the beliefs and perspectives of those around us living by their rules and ideas of our life. When we actually take a moment in time to explore, evaluate, and change those - we can begin living our lives for ourselves. Those changes can make an incredible impact on changing your life for the better. It's never too late!
