I have seen the needs of kids change and grow over the course of my career working with children. The foundation of my practice is understanding that kids do the best they can when they can, and that behavior is a form of communication. My goal is to equip kids and their parents with the tools they need to be emotionally intelligent, resilient, and prepared for social settings. I am dedicated to supporting children and their families through their most challenging times.

Do you wish you had someone to talk to about your issues and not feel judged? Please know that you are not alone. So many of us need a non-biased outside ear to help us process and walk through life’s ups and downs. I'm here to help you create a safe space to navigate your emotional landscape.

As a therapist I specialize in Substance Use, Anxiety, Identity development and Couple’s Therapy. Trauma from your past creates messages that can have an impact on how you view yourself. Some of those messages create habits and coping mechanisms that can have negative consequences, consequences that inhibit you from knowing the goodness that lies deep within you. Knowing your inherent goodness gives you the framework and foundation to tackle the tougher issues and is an indispensable starting point for your healing journey.

I’ve worked in in the mental health field for nearly 25 years, in inpatient and residential settings, as well as in the community. I’ve worked with diverse populations, primarily with adults of all ages, and also have experience working with adolescents who’ve experienced significant trauma. I’ve worked extensively with individuals diagnosed with severe anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation (and attempts), mood disorders, psychosis, borderline personality disorder, as well as intellectual disabilities and neurodevelopmental differences. I believe mental health services should be accessible to all and seek to make that a reality.

Individuals seek therapy for many issues. I have been afforded the opportunity to work alongside people that want help in managing Anxiety, Depression, Self-Esteem barriers and daily stress. Often times these issues are masked by deep rooted trauma, grief and abuse. Individuals need encouragement, support, feeling that they are heard and validation while on their journey to healing.

Do my struggles really require counseling? Have you/ your child had experiences that impacted your/ your child's self-confidence, emotional well-being, sleep/appetite, thought patterns, or ability to enjoy relationships and feel safe and secure? Maybe you can't name the cause, but you know you or your child are struggling. Has your life become smaller and smaller as you try to manage anxiety? You can heal from really hard times and reclaim your life. Daring to hope that you could feel better can be the scariest part. I would be honored to accompany, support, and challenge you to process your past so your present is available to you.

Sometimes in life, we reach a point where we might feel lost, confused, disconnected, uncomfortable, alone, or even completely unsure how we feel. My hope in therapy is to meet you where you are at with empathy, accept you for who you are without judgment, and work towards the goals that we establish together. With these values persisting throughout therapy, I believe healing is possible for anyone. We will approach our goals in therapy from a holistic perspective, which means that we will seek to understand our challenges through a variety of lenses: our biology, psychology, sociology, culture, and spirituality.
