As a licensed clinical social worker I provide therapy and partner with individuals and families helping them achieve their determined goals. I specialize in assisting clients who have experienced trauma, grief, addictions, anxiety, depression, crisis pregnancy, infertility, and adoption. From a 'strengths-based perspective', I support clients through a variety of treatment modalities to gain insight into how their thoughts and emotions impact behavior and how the past can affect the present and determine the future.

Clients that have never experienced counseling and don’t know what to expect would feel right at home with me. I like to ensure no added pressure and enjoy building that trust with a client. I like to work with adolescents, teens, and college-aged kids who are looking for support and guidance during these pivotal times in their lives. I recognize that social media and television now can create body positivity struggles and self-esteem struggles. I would love to help build confidence and self-esteem and promote overall healthy thinking. Boundary setting and family dynamics interest me as well.

A lot of resentment can come with aging, whether you yourself are caregiving or you are experiencing changes as you age. It can leave caregivers and seniors feeling stuck without a solution for a way forward to enjoy your life in the midst of hardship or challenges that you are facing with getting older.

We all have struggles and challenges in life, each in our own way. It has been my life’s passion to work with people, to build relationships and empower others to find their own version of healthy and happy. I believe each of us has a place and a purpose here on earth, and it is easy to lose our way; to feel like we don’t matter or we don’t belong in someway. Often times traumatic events can lead to feelings of anger, anxiety, depression, and other negative feelings. We often build defenses such as avoidance or even anger. I want to help you navigate those road bumps and set out in a more healthy, happy path of healing.

My background is working with pre-teens & adolescents in a residential treatment facility for complex developmental trauma. I specialize in neurofeedback and counseling. Using this combination helps to shift and transforms the brain along side techniques to support change. I can help people learn the skill of self-regulation, and develop more tolerance to stress. People who use neurofeedback are those that do not respond well to traditional treatment, are interested in increasing healthy brain functioning, and are looking for natural alternatives to medication. Neurofeedback tailors to the brains innate neuroplasticity.

Mental health challenges are at an all time high due to the chronic stress and anxiety that's resulted from enduring a pandemic, but also because of the ongoing pressure we put on ourselves to get it all right no matter what. We often try to maintain a pace that's not sustainable and then end up burning out/ getting overwhelmed/ and ultimately feeling paralyzed not feeling motivated or knowing what to do next. This is where my support as a therapist and life coach comes in very handy. A new way of thinking and doing things is possible.

At times we need an outside perspective, and maybe just someone to listen to us, when life seems hard or complicated. My counseling style is warm, friendly, and, above all, genuine. I use a holistic/integrative therapy approach; in order to tailor treatment to each client's needs, I tend to pull from various tenets and modalities of evidence-based therapies. I focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and understand the mind-body connection; I am also trained in EMDR for trauma treatment.
