My passion is helping others find ways to manage their challenges in this ever-changing journey we call life. For over 27 years I have worked with adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families in a variety of settings; including home, school, office, and in the community. I pride myself in building therapeutic relationships with each individual I work with. By achieving this, I believe we can then work together to help identify what is challenging you currently to get you to the life you choose to live successfully.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.- Maya Angelou. This quote speaks to the core of my practice.

Life can be difficult to navigate. Often we are indoctrinated by others beliefs and don't truly know who we are let alone how to live our lives. When energy gets stuck in the body and mind, whether it's from trauma, painful experiences or everyday stimuli in our lives, it causes patterns of unhealthy thoughts and behaviors.

Safety. Trust. Control. Esteem. Connection. These are the five basic, human needs that get disrupted by trauma and stress. And not getting these needs met in our lives and relationships makes life a lot more work. I want to help you make space for yourself to identify your needs. I bring a trauma-informed and trauma-focused lens and we will work together to help you build connections with yourself and others.

Client diversity is my favorite part of being a therapist. I am open to working with anyone, no matter what issues, needs, and goals they bring to our relationship. My ideal client is simply motivated by a desire for change and has a strong commitment to the process of self-discovery. Navigating change requires a measure of courage, and some episodes of self-discovery may be uncomfortable. My ideal client will understand that each new challenge is simply a part of the overall discovery and growth process. Clients who strive to “face the fear and do it anyway” are usually a good fit with me.

Many couples and individuals find themselves at some point in their relationship wondering if things are going to work out. If you are questioning your relationship, you are not alone. Communication, infidelity, substance use, parenting, finances, and intimacy are all common concerns I have worked with couples and individuals to address.
