My practice is client-centered and universal. I believe in treating the entire person. I look at past experiences, trauma, current issues, and future hopes and goals. I specialize in treating children ages (5+), adolescents, young adults, and adults. Most of my experience is working with clients healing from trauma. I pull from a variety of therapeutic techniques to work with the individual. If one therapy is not working, let's try something else.

Sometimes life has us feeling guarded, stressed, ready for battle or just feeling defeated. It can be so exhausting to continuously feel rejected, abused, inadequate, ashamed, guilty or even insignificant by loved ones. Maybe you had to do, what you had to do, to get through and you are tired of being tired. I have worked with anxiety, depression, PTSD, anger, trauma ( multigenerational trauma) & those that have been abused. I have a Mindfulness based approach that taps into your strengths to look for solutions to find what works for you. Here you will find a non-judgmental environment that allows you to just be yourself.

Think of our lives as a tapestry, where each thread represents a unique experience or memory. Some threads may be bright and vibrant, symbolizing joyful moments, while others may be darker or more frayed, representing challenges we've faced. Together, these threads are intricately woven to create a rich, complex picture of our identity. Just as a tapestry is more beautiful for its variety, our lives are shaped by all our experiences, each contributing to the unique narrative of who we are.

Maya Angelou once said, "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." I believe that each person has a story to tell and I am someone who genuinely wants to know yours. My passion is to deeply connect with each person I come in to contact with and be present with them in that moment. I seek to understand people from all different socio-economic, cultural, racial/ethnic, and spiritual backgrounds. I strive to make an impact on this world for and with the marginalized population. Healing is coming back to ourselves and breaking free from the conditioning and beliefs that limit us. It's a journey of empowerment.

I provide a nonjudgmental and compassionate atmosphere, in which you can safely explore and work feelings, thoughts, images, and beliefs that maybe keeping you from moving forward in life. I believe that for therapy to be effective, both you and I must be actively involved in developing treatment goals and assessing progress. Efforts to change self-perception, emotions and behaviors require work both in session and out of session. Therapy is a process in which you, the client gain insight, and tools that will facilitate continued growth and development after the counseling has ended.
