I work with children, adults, families, and couples. I work to help strengthen the development of parenting skills, boundary setting, communication, decision making and behavioral management. I assist with the development of emotional intelligence including self-awareness, self-regulation, social skills, and empathy for others. For children, I see ages 3+.
I am a licensed clinical professional counselor earning my Ph.D. in Counselor Education & Supervision. My goal is to help clients find their inner joy, and to live a happier, healthier lifestyle by developing effective coping skills. I use a variety of tools in my practice to maximize therapy gains.
I facilitate change by providing an empathetic yet, direct, safe, non-judgmental environment demonstrating compassion and understanding that allows you to express yourself. I help clients reduce anxiety and depression who have experienced trauma.My goal is to help you develop into a stronger, more resilient individual in order to find life's purpose.
