Your healing can begin right now when you make the brave decision to choose a therapist who will listen deeply, seek to understand your feelings, and help you create a new and empowering story about who you truly are. That is my approach to therapy. My aim is to teach my clients how to identify old, limiting beliefs that interfere with their relationships, their sense of purpose, and inner peace. Together, we can work on healing the unhealthy relationship you have with yourself if you are willing to shed that old identity to embrace one that is whole, genuine, and resilient.

Couples learn to create emotional safety in their relationship, through empathic reflection, validation and attunement, leading to healing.
I utilize the methods from Emotionally Focused Therapy, which is a scientifically proven approach, based in Attachment Theory. Couples develop an understanding of their negative interactive cycle and learn how to reconnect through listening, validation, and empathy, creating emotional safety and healing in their relationship. The EFT process helps couples, families, and individuals to repair attachment injuries and create secure bonds, leading to improvements in depression and anxiety. I also offer faith-based counseling based on my client's preferences.

When your child or teen needs support it's important to find the right fit for them. They need to be comfortable with a therapist and you as a caregiver should feel confident with that provider as well. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults on a variety of issues they may be struggling with. Depression, family or marital stress, behavioral issues, lack of motivation or school refusal, healthy relationships, excessive anxiety and self-esteem are common struggles people may tackle through therapy. Additionally, I work with the LGBTQ community including teens with gender identity issues.

Let me tell you about my vibe, I will tell you what I tell all my clients- "Im not the fluffy" therapist but I am your biggest cheerleader. I am not the therapist who will use fancy clinical terms, but instead I use totally random analogies that will probably make you laugh or even better yet, totally understand what Im talking about. I use sarcasm and humor but can reign it in and let my empath shine through. I work with many first responders and families in the community as I have a personal motivation to keep our heroes healthy. I have a direct client focused style and find major purpose in helping people find their worth!
