I do not believe in stigmatizing or judging people, nor do I believe that people "are" their diagnosis. I believe that the relationship between client and therapist is one of the most important tools of change, so I strive to create a safe space where the client feels free to be their authentic self. I have experience working with individuals, groups, couples, polyamorous, unions, and justice involved clients.

I have completed training programs in Trauma Focused - CBT, Family Systems Trauma (FST), Play Therapy, Poetry Therapy, EMDR Level 2, and Parenting with Love and Limits.
Imagine...feeling more connected and better able to communicate with your child. Perhaps the daily stresses have been piling up and your family needs support to re-balance. Maybe you are worried about your child and you need an experienced therapist to help problem solve. I have worked for over 20 years with children under stress due to school issues, divorce, family crisis, separation or deployment. I utilize a combination of play therapy, mindfulness and CBT to promote changes in thinking and behavior. Play therapy can especially benefit traumatized children, as it allows them to process the trauma at their own pace.

Whether you have been thinking about therapy for a while or have recently gone through a difficult time, being in therapy is a good resource to resolve concerns. I have helped many people experiencing high levels of stress , feelings of depression and anxiety or who have turned to substance abuse/addiction. Often coping skills that were once effective no longer work and we become frustrated and isolate ourselves. It can be difficult to get through the day.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
