I do my best work with adolescents and adults. I meet clients where they are and listen and validate each one's personal story. I work with clients to identify strengths and gently challenge beliefs or behaviors that are no longer serving them. I draw metaphors from nature and emphasize the practice of mindfulness.

It's ok to ask for help. It's true that I can't erase your past or instantly take away your pain (although I wish I could). However, I can help you carry your burdens more lightly, whether that means adjusting to major life transitions, learning new ways of coping with anxiety or managing the emotional strain of living with cancer (as a patient or caregiver). Additionally, I have expertise in health-related issues and enjoy working with clients around eating disorders, chronic illness (long Covid, diabetes, etc.) and prenatal/postpartum mental health. Therapy is your time to feel supported and understood.

With an extensive history of working with trauma-impacted youth and adults, I look to bring peace and healing using a multi-faceted approach.

As an RPCV in West Africa to working with Deaf youth, I have been humbled to to align and ally myself with beautiful populations and cultures and believe that therapeutic rapport is the key to working towards goals set by my clients.

I have a trauma specialization and further training in TF-CBT ( Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and Exposure Therapy.
Are you looking for a coachy therapist? or a therapisty coach? Are you feeling not heard or seen in your relationships? Have you not accomplished your goals - personally or professionally? I enjoy working collaboratively with motivated adults looking to understand the barriers to full expression and fulfillment in their lives. I tend to be direct and engage in lots of active dialogue in order to provide alternative viewpoints from which people gain insight and grow to achieve their goals. I believe we are all perfect, and life events interrupt our belief of that. We can heal this belief through exploration and understanding.

I have experience with trauma-focused treatment, CBT, DBT, and am certified in nutritional and integrative mental health.
I engage with individuals by meeting them where they are. My practice focuses on clients with a history of trauma, or with problems related to mood or anxiety. I aim to help clients learn about themselves, and how to respond to life rather than react to it.

In my earlier career I mainly utilized CBT interventions, and after consistently noticing the impact of trauma and adverse experiences I became trained in the utilization of EMDR, ego state therapy and clinical hypnosis.
I believe that all people have the power to heal, and that building a solid foundation of strength is essential to that process. I like to work collaboratively with clients to identify their goals and how we can work together to get there. Helping people change unhelpful beliefs such as, "I am insignificant" or "I am not in control" to the more helpful, "I now have choices" or "I am worthy" is such an honor as a provider.

Change is part of life, but you don't understand why it feels this hard. You are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and listening to those negative thoughts playing in your head. You can’t stop judging yourself or figure out how to do things differently. Possibly life took a turn, such as death, divorce, illness, or trauma. Or a transition is ahead such as pregnancy, marriage, or an empty nest, a time that you think you should feel happy. Though, you have mixed feelings, which brings you back to that self-judging cycle.

Many clients who I meet with for the first time confess how scared they were to make the initial phone call and to set up an appointment. Usually after the first appointment they say they are glad they did. In today's culture, there are so many stressors and demands of everyday life that we often wind up taking care of others and sometimes find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious and stuck. I have watched change and relief take place as clients meet with me over time and together we gain understanding and awareness of how to move forward.

I am knowledgeable about many areas such as traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors.
I have often found that clients reach a point in their lives where they need help to manage stress due to relationship issues, work changes and parenting issues. I have been very successful at giving my clients the tools to manage life’s stressors. I am a very active therapist and give feedback and coping strategies to my clients so they can successfully end therapy and feel empowered to manage these situations on their own.
