Hurt does not discriminate, and embarking on a journey towards healing is possible. Although, It can hardly be achieves alone. With Amarce, there will be moments of action and of stillness; opportunities for curiosity and for unlearning; accepting new ways of being, breaking cycles that have shaped us, and above all, embracing the beautiful yet complex humanity that exists within all of us. I work with adults who never got a chance to heal, who wish to connect with their "inner wounded child". Experienced in treating kids and teens who have experienced BIG or little hurts. I help in bridging the gaps between parents and kids.

My primary treatment focus has been to use validation and empathy. I want to learn what goals you have and then help you in get to them. In addition to working with adults, I have extensive experience working with adolescents and their families in outpatient/school and inpatient settings dealing with anxiety, depression, psychosis, trauma, anger, grief and attention problems. I'm familiar with coaching DBT coping skills for distress tolerance, developing emotion management, and enhancing effective interpersonal skills. My greatest strength is in helping parents and their children reduce conflict and really hear each other.

There are many things in life that are unavoidable, and stress is one of them. Whether we are a kid struggling to socialize, a couple having trouble getting on the same page with each other, or a young adult just trying to make it in the world, it can sometimes feel that we have that dark cloud hanging over us all the time. Sometimes we just don't know how to help ourselves, or help those closest to us.

I have been in the behavioral health field for over twenty years and have seen time and again that addiction and mental health issues are a complex interaction of biology, psychological makeup, environmental influences and social factors. In short, mental health and addiction issues are complicated to understand and difficult to treat. Yet while treating individuals with mental health and/or substance use disorders, I have witnessed the best in the human spirit and have seen countless people develop the skills they need to recover and go on to lead fulfilling and contented lives.

Maybe you struggle with depression, anxiety, feelings of unhappiness or unfulfillment. Sometimes life’s adversities take the best of us, and leave us lost, feeling numb or trapped in a cycle of self sabotaging behaviors that perpetuate our suffering. Whether it is the sudden rupture of a relationship, abuse, a traumatic loss, a divorce, abandonment, or work related stressors, I view these experiences as opportunities to grow into a better version of the self. I commend you for being brave and contemplating the thought of a better present, leaving past hurt behind, and embracing healing with therapy.
