I offer genuine, holistic, and creative interventions specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, attachment related issues, and child-parent relationships.
Life throws curve balls that often knock us down, but painful and difficult experiences do not have to define you. Instead, these experiences can be a starting point to creating a more authentic, connected version of yourself. Offering a space where my clients feel seen, heard, and valued is a tremendous honor and one of my greatest passions as a clinician. With the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics as a guide, my sessions utilize a variety of evidence-based models that are customized to meet the needs and goals of the adults, children, couples, families, and adolescents I serve.

I know that seeking help can be overwhelming and there are many qualified individuals who could help you, but you need a therapist who is a good fit for you. Consider if I am this "good fit". I believe I have the unique ability to connect with my clients, and they with me. This can be done through empathy. Empathy is the experience of understanding another persons thoughts, feelings, and conditions from their point of view. I work hard at doing this with every individual and their unique experiences. Irvin Yalom, a renowned psychologist, suggested, therapy is mostly a process of removing obstacle
