With several years experience working with families, parents, and adolescents in both community and clinic settings, I have had the opportunity of working with people in all walks of life. Thus far in my career, I have found working with underserved and marginalized populations to be most rewarding. A key part of my counseling style is helping clients shift their focus from what they cannot control and centering in on what they can. Clients will take away from our sessions the ability to identify healthy ways to work through conflicts within themselves as well as with their children, parents, peers, etc.

You knew enough to get yourself to this page and I know enough to take you through the journey you may be scared of and yet eager for. Working as a specialist in eating disorders and trauma, I understand the highs and lows of being self-critical to the point of self-punishment, blaming yourself for the situation you are in and being stuck in an endless cycle of overriding your gut instinct in order to please others. Recognize that your intuition got you to these words.

Counseling varies depending on the personality of both the therapist and the client and the particular problems that you may be experiencing. I want to help you address the problems you hope to address. Often this includes building skills to: reduce feelings of distress, improve relationships, communication with others, and/or to resolve difficult personal issues. In order for therapy to be most successful, you will be asked to work on things we talk about both during our sessions and at home.

I find great fulfillment in collaborating with individuals who have endured trauma. Witnessing their progress, healing, and transformation through the therapeutic process is a profound and uplifting experience. Observing individuals reclaim their personal agency, develop healthier relationships with themselves and others, and regain a sense of empowerment is the ultimate objective, among other achievements. I understand that embarking on a journey of healing can be difficult, but it is also a courageous endeavor. You deserve to take that vital step towards your healing process, and I am here to support you.

Welcome! I am so glad you are here and have decided to take this important first step on a journey of self-discovery. My approach focuses on not only what is happening on the surface, but finding the root cause. Our experience of stressful or scary moments does not always end when the event itself stops occurring. Our brain and body hold on to reminders of these times, which can have consequences for our work, relationships and overall well-being. Using Eye-movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) we will be able to work together to achieve healing of both the past and the present.
