Our lives are filled with both joy and sadness, comforts and fears, strengths and weaknesses. At times we may feel that the negativity in our lives is more than we can handle.

It is my great pleasure to work with many people to help them achieve their goals, find comfort and peace, and live well adjusted, fulfilling lives.

Everyone has a unique perspective on life based on past and present experiences. Yet we sometimes forget about our inner strengths, resources, and capabilities when faced with challenging circumstances. The stories we know, understand, and tell about ourselves have the capacity to influence our moods, thoughts, and actions. Our beliefs about these stories and the meaning we ascribe to them can sometimes hinder us. My task is to co-explore these stories and experiences with you as a means of uncovering ways to achieve hope and contentment according to your own values and preferences.

I help clients (children, teens, and women) become healthy, happy, responsible, motivated, and self-disciplined. I have over 25 years of experience working with children, teens, parents, and young adults. Having served as a teacher turned school counselor, I know firsthand how challenging these formative years can be for all involved (students, parents, and educators). I know that my client's success is based upon working collaboratively with all persons involved in his or her life. Together we will explore and create healthy and positive preferred futures.

Children and adolescents often struggle with the same difficult feelings and emotions that adults do, but they have limited ways of expressing themselves. Similarly, parents can find themselves at a loss to reach their child, often leading to stress, anxiety, and disconnection. I have spent years working with children, teens, and their families in order to create healthy coping skills and foster healing, growth, and connection. I am passionate about helping children reach their full potential in a safe environment to explore their thoughts and feelings and develop necessary skills to thrive.

When life gets difficult and feels heavy, my job is to provide support and a space for individuals to come as they are and leave feeling understood. It is when a person feels safe and understood, that they are able to do the hard work of self reflection, change, and growth. I work collaboratively with my clients to bring awareness to their thought and behavioral patterns so that they can identify and obtain the resources they need to feel more satisfied in their lives. I strive to empower my clients to see the resilience and strength within themselves.

I believe in meeting clients where they are at emotionally and helping them and their parents reach their goals. Through a positive relationship with my client I try to help them gain insight into their desire to belong and have significance. I continually work to create a supportive environment for children in order for the child to gain insight and understanding into their unique world. With insight the child and therapist can collaborate to reduce the child's current stressors possibly leading to problematic behaviors.

Imagine a heavy burden dropping off of your shoulders and moving forward in freedom. I utilize powerful, trauma-based therapies with clients such as Flash Technique and E.M.D.R. Flash technique can dramatically reduce disturbance connected to trauma or stress. It is a less intrusive way to deal with intrusive memories while focused on a positive engaging focus. I will walk with you through this journey with guidance, compassion, and a neutral stance while you discover how to restore peace. I also utilize E.M.D.R. with clients who desire that powerful treatment modality.

I am an AutPlay Certified provider, I am currently working towards my certification to become a Registered Play Therapist and I am EMDR trained.

I focus on providing a safe, calm environment where clients learn to trust. A warm and collaborative environment helps clients to regain a sense of felt safety, autonomy, and empowerment. Clients report they feel seen, heard, accepted, and understood. An environment free of judgement encourages clients to “use their voice,” a gentle prompt my clients hear often. I believe in the resiliency of the human spirit and in the inherent motivation to survive. I will meet you wherever you are on your journey. My approach includes compassionate confrontation and client accountability. If you are ready to work, I am your counselor.

My practice focuses on treating children and teens with depression, anxiety, attachment issues, eating disorders, substance abuse, attention deficit hyperactivity, and behavioral disorders. Play therapy is my primary tool to help children cope with issues as they grow and develop. Although the child is my client, I work to provide education and support to parents, as the child's primary support system.

My passion is helping people find hope, connection and healthy communication in their life and relationships. If you are looking for the root cause of issues in your life and want strategies to becoming "unstuck", my goal is to form a strong therapeutic relationship with each client to help create a unique treatment tailored for you. My approach is research-supported and holistic, and I treat a variety of needs ranging from relationship/marital issues, anxiety, depression, stress, PTSD, trauma, family/marital issues, pre-marital, blended families, infidelity, abuse , addictions, and many more.

I believe that each individual holds the key to changing their own story. My goal as a Licensed Professional Counselor is to create a safe and collaborative space for you where you can transform negative thinking patterns and destructive behaviors into positive outcomes. Using evidence-based treatments, such as EMDR and DBT, I will walk with you through the process of uncovering what could be holding you back from experiencing wholeness, joy, and peace. Whether the issue is anxiety, self-worth, traumatic events, or significant relationship difficulties, I will work to provide a personalized treatment approach that best suits you!
