I am certified in Trauma Focused CBT, which has been instrumental in helping children and teenagers who have endured trauma.
I believe the key to change is knowledge, awareness, and an avenue for healing. I start by first understanding the type of change you are desiring, then continue supporting you through taking steps towards your goals. Everyone's journey and timeline will look different, and I respect each client for where they are when we first meet. Together, we’ll explore how to get to a place where your ups and downs in life are manageable. Therapy is not just about identifying strategies for making change, but for reminding people of their own power in making those changes happen.

“Just Do It” Only if it were that easy. Each of us are in our own situation and living our own experiences. It can be hard to identify and describe the things we think, feel, and do. These things can get in the way of our goals and who we want to be. It can be even harder to find a space to process and talk about our struggles. If this sounds like what you are going through, you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to help create a space for all people to feel comfortable talking about their challenges and working together to get through them.

I believe big changes happen as a result of taking small, needed steps. Creating space allows for someone to become "unstuck" from old beliefs, patterns, behaviors, and ways of thinking which are harmful and no longer useful. I use a primarily solution-focused approach and a systemic lens while working with my clients. Life is constantly moving and changing and it is important, on a journey towards growth and healing, that a person/couple/family feel supported and equipped to handle life's challenges. Whatever problems, symptoms, or issues are presented, I work to move my clients forward in a positive and meaningful direction.

I believe that the foundation of life starts with our family relationships. From the time we are young, our interactions with others create our beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. These early childhood experiences help develop our personality and outlook on life. As we grow, it is important for us to keep in mind where we come from, who we are, and what we want in our future.
