Telehealth Only: Accepting Clients: I work with clients who are motivated to become the best version of themselves and find ways to manage and keep balance with their mental health. I look at various aspects of wellness that contribute to your self-care and mental health, help understand where your thoughts and behaviors are stemming from, find ways to cope through life's challenges, and gain insight and reflection into yourself. I will help you gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence to implement positive change in your life by tapping into your strengths, resources, and helping you identify your next steps.

Unfortunately I am not currently taking new clients. I view problems as not within one person, but within the interactions between people and their environment. I work to help clients develop skills and insight to better manage their lives, while at the same time working to balance relationships. I value the insight and skill each client brings to therapy and work with clients' own strengths to help them reach their goals. Symptom relief is my initial focus with clients, but it is only a first step in the therapy process. Subsequently, my focus shifts toward working with clients to address the underlying problems in their lives.

I believe an integral part of therapy and transformative change is creating a space where all individuals, regardless of their challenges feel welcomed and supported. I am committed to providing treatment that aligns with your individual values, needs and pace.

Surviving something traumatic, negative self talk and low self worth often leave us feeling disconnected, second guessing and unhappy in our life. Sometimes we logically believe "I'm enough", "I'm safe", or "I did the best I could" but emotionally, we struggle to believe and feel it. Or maybe, you've tried talk therapy and are looking to do more than just "talk about it" with EMDR. You're not alone in being negatively impacted by your experiences and you do deserve a life you can enjoy.
