My passion is helping others heal and gain insight into the issues that they are experiencing. I practice a person centered approach as I believe that we tend to be our own best experts. I emphasize a collaborative style during session to help you progress towards you goals. Personal growth and healing does not have to be something that is an abstract concept, but rather can be a possibility. It helps to have someone who is unbiased and is present to help you navigate life’s challenges and traumas. I also feel passionate about working with adolescents as they navigate the complexities of the transition from youth to adulthood.

“If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can't survive.” ― Brené Brown. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to understand your own story and break free from the things that stop change. You are strong and courageous because you are asking for help. My goal is to help you use your strength to achieve your goals. The challenges of trauma, anxiety, depression and life events can be overwhelming. Whether you are needing support for your or your child, I offer a strengths based and trauma informed therapeutic approach.

I am passionate about helping clients recognize and heal from their trauma and stressors by strengthening their mind-body connection. I work with clients who want to learn to love and appreciate the body they are in and free themselves from the impacts of trauma. I believe in meeting clients where they are at, meaning we will only work on goals that the client feels ready for. Therapy is a partnership, where clients and clinicians should be putting in equal work. Whether it is dealing with a difficult relationship, new life transitions, or forms of trauma, I will encourage my client to play an active role in their own healing.

Instead of staring at a therapist staring back at you, you join up with a TEAM in a place where you belong, in a way where we all show up for practice together. Together we create your dream relationship. You work hard ... blood, sweat, and tears kind of hard sometimes. At the end of it you'll have the kind of love you may never have dreamed you could have. This isn't just therapy, it's co-therapy. A philosophy that empowers couples like you to discover the magic of "us." We're your team, and your needs come first. Sessions START at 85 mins. The RCC-System means you succeed, all outside the constraints and limitations of insurance.
