Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful parts of ourselves. The greatest healing comes from telling our story and each of us have a unique way of relating to the world and a story that deserves to be heard. I believe every person possesses an intuition and the innate knowledge to heal, grow, move forward, and create change within themselves and the greater world. I use a compassionate, collaborative, and trauma focused approach to begin the healing process by creating a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and caring.

I have over 20 years of trauma focused therapy training which is helpful in understanding/treating wounds caused by trauma, including childhood sexual abuse and neglect.
My client profile consists of 1/3 children/adolescents, 1/3 trauma focused therapy due to sexual assault and/or sexual addiction impact, and 1/3 females over 40 who would like to explore making changes in life. I enjoy the diversity of my practice as all the above mentioned areas enable me to work with both childhood disorders and relational challenges into adulthood. My focus on sexual addiction/trauma and family of origin issues is to provide supportive and therapeutic space for partners and children/teens who have been impacted by someone who has either a confirmed or suspected sexual addiction.

I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy that includes: CBT, DBT, Trauma Focused-CBT (in children and adolescents), relaxation & mindfulness training.
In our present lives, due to the high levels of stress, so many individuals of every age are suffering with their mental health. Our mental health is a vital part in living a quality life. The first step is always the most difficult in anything we do, especially when it comes to letting others know we need help. That first step towards positive mental health involves the realization, that you may need another person to come along side of you, to assist in leading the way forward.

I am trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness.
Immigration evaluations and teen support are my passions. I enjoy working with people of all races, ethnicities and cultures, and I am passionate in advocating for social justice issues. I believe that when transgressions occur and cause trauma, one should have a place to find safety. I myself have Dyslexia and HSP (Highly Sensitive Personality), which have presented challenges in my life, but I have learned to use them as the gifts that they are. For example, being highly sensitive enables me to be an excellent empathetic listener, and my dyslexia sometimes allows me to see possibilities for growth that others might not.

I offer mental health counseling to individuals who have been broken open to the world through grief and loss: loss of love, of meaning or purpose, of knowing their ‘who’ or ‘where,’ of vitality and health, of core relationships and stories, or of life dreams, unimagined. My approach is both integrative and holistic, with a focus on processing and clearing traumatic experiences to allow for new ways of thinking and feeling.

Everyone faces challenges in their lives that may cause stress, concerns, or behaviors that lead to a desire for change. In these times of transition it can be helpful to have a guide who is not a family member or friend; someone who can help by offering new ideas & help to create concrete goals to move toward positive change. My intent is to facilitate that process. I believe in addressing the “whole person”: mentally, physically, emotionally & spiritually, in ways that fit you & your needs because it's You, by Us.

We all find ourselves stuck at times in unwanted patterns or past hurts and are unsure how to move forward. In my work as a counselor, I have been able to help individuals discover new ways of relating to themselves and others, integrate painful memories to find wholeness, and develop new ways of responding to life's challenges.

You may be feeling that the strands of your life are unraveling and you want to make sense of it all. My private practice, Tapestry Therapy, is founded upon the belief that your life is like a tapestry, consisting of strands of stories that have been woven together to make one larger story. Our story is part of the larger tapestry of our family, race, culture, country and world. Through the work of therapy, we come to understand our stories and be empowered to decide how we will write future chapters. I utilize process therapy and Lifespan Integration, which is a somatic therapy, to help my clients reach their goals.
