I work with many types of clients, addressing many life issues, but my specialization is working with people who have been targets of physical or emotional harm due to who they are or who they are perceived to be. This includes people targeted on the basis of race, ethnicity, or heritage; gender, sexuality, or gender expression; religious or faith beliefs/practices; or other aspects of identity. Most clients I work with have post-trauma, anxiety, and/or depression symptoms. I believe in the importance of helping clients explore the root causes of their symptoms, while also finding interventions to address those symptoms.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who emphasizes a systems approach and works to gain a deeper understanding of my client's family of origin and current dynamic. I also utilize an array of Cognitive Behavioral tools to allow the client to change their thinking and behavior pattern. I emphasize a collaborative approach, wherein I work together with the client to help them become invested in their treatment and achieve the results that they want. I do this while creating a compassionate, positive environment. I am passionate about helping my clients and specialize in sensitive clients of all ages and circumstances.

My ideal client is someone who likes to be challenged as well as encouraged, for both are essential to growth and healing. I believe all clients have a level of resiliency that they bring to the table. My job as your therapist is to foster that resiliency. I will support you in gaining the skills needed to acknowledge, process, and resolve whatever issues for which you are seeking support.

In my practice, I help clients gain awareness and insight in order to work on the goals that bring them into therapy. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental environment and assist my clients with the struggles that interfere with their day-to-day functioning. My goal is to help clients learn better coping skills, as well as improve their overall sense of well-being and hope.

I believe that therapy helps people move through the blocks in their life that keep them from meeting their full potential. The therapies I use, EMDR, Brainspotting, Gentle Reprocessing and Hypnotherapy dissolve those blocks. It could be past trauma or the smaller traumas in life that leave us with negative beliefs that prevent full access to our core. Get to your core and change your life! EMDR, Brainspotting, Gentle Reprocessing, Hypnosis, TAT, other energy therapies will facilitate the healthy change you desire.

In my therapy practice the focus is on supporting healthy emotional and psychological development. Whatever the age, I believe that we do well when we can. My goal is to celebrate one's strengths and help address blocks to becoming one's best self. That means meeting each client with unconditional positive regard while addressing presenting, and possibly underlying, needs.
