Life can be incredibly challenging for children and teens experiencing mental health, emotional, behavioral concerns, trauma, or attention difficulties such as those associated with ADHD. These children often struggle with daily tasks that their peers may find effortless, which can severely impact their development and functioning. Academic performance may decline, social relationships can become strained, and self-esteem may plummet, leading to a cycle of negative feelings and behaviors. Understanding and addressing these concerns is crucial for a child’s overall well-being and long-term success in life.

I specialize in treating adults (18+) experiencing symptoms of PTSD or other trauma-related disorders, as well as depression and/or anxiety. In my practice, I concentrate on addressing not only the trauma you have experienced but also the co-occurring issues that develop as a result of those experiences. These can include depression, anxiety, eating disorders/body image issues, low confidence in personal and work environments, problems forming and maintaining satisfying relationships, difficulty managing finances, and substance use. Everyone's experience is unique, and thus trauma impacts people differently.

To everything there is a season and I am here to walk with you in whichever season that is... I believe that the therapy room is a sacred place for each person to learn, process and grow at their own pace. Most of my work is centered around children using non-directive play therapy, but I have a heart for all individuals or families seeking help through anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, post traumatic stress disorder, and their racial identity. I am eager to join you in the trenches and give you a safe space to process through the things that may be too heavy to hold alone.

“It’s never too late to become the person you always wanted to be,” a quote by Anne Sweeney guides my work as a mental health professional. Whether you’ve tried therapy before with little success or this is your first venture into asking for help with life’s seemingly endless obstacles, I believe every day is a new opportunity to take a step towards fulfilling your unique destiny. In my work I use Natural Processing, a modality taking elements from EMDR and Somatic Experiencing to help clients work through a range of presenting issues by targeting how both the body and brain are affected by adverse experiences.

First, I want to congratulate you for taking the first step in taking authority over your healing and wholeness journey. The stressors of life is a lot to manage alone at times. It takes a lot of strength to recognize and seek help to not just survive in this thing called life, but to also thrive. As a clinician, I help navigate clients through past and present experiences and assist in crafting a better future by working collectively with individuals (adolescents and adults), couples, and families. I provide my clients with practical coping skills to manage the challenges of life and unlearn unhealthy defense mechanisms.

Are you struggling with feelings that you can't quite put into words? Have you attempted to mask this with unhealthy behaviors and coping that has led to guilt, shame or self-doubt? Maybe just being forced to "push through" because life has given you no other alternatives. Potentially these emotions have gotten in the way of your success and or every day life (job, school, relationships), and, you have turned to every avenue for help, but still not found yourself feeling any better? If this is you then your feelings are valid. I help individuals who are struggling to get unstuck in tackling the many challenges of life.

My ideal client is an individual adult, or someone in a relationship having problems they want to resolve. I don't choose my clients, they choose me. With over 40 years of experience as a licensed independent psychologist, I continue to love what I do just as much or more than when I began my career. I am not just a "how does that make you feel" kind of therapist. I will challenge, confront and engage when necessary when I feel doing so will get you to where you said you wanted to go when you came for help.
