I work with individuals, couples, and families. I tend to be interactive and collaborative; I provide a warm & supportive environment to help my clients achieve positive changes in their lives. I am non-judgmental and open minded. I create an individual treatment plan and approach for each client based on each person's needs and preferences. I offer phone/video sessions if appropriate. I am Certified in EMDR which means I have advanced training in this modality (beyond basic training). EMDR is used to re-process traumatic memories, and it can be applied to other things as well. My specialties include all types of addictions, codependency, anxiety/depression, and relationships. I use CBT, DBT, and mindfulness when appropriate. I tend to be tool-oriented and may suggest audio recordings, outside resources, and homework. I have an extensive collection of workbooks for mental health which can be helpful. I am passionate about mental health and wellness. I am bicultural & bilingual; I can help my clients with cross-cultural and acculturation difficulties. I offer support to those involved in (or interested in) 12 step recovery. Please note that I only work with adults over 18. I am currently seeing clients in person at my home office and by video.

Therapy is a safe space to explore changes you'd like to make in yourself and in your relationships. Depression, anxiety and anger are normal parts of the human experience and we all suffer to some degree, but when our usual coping skills fail us and we can't shake these feelings it's time to get support. Change is difficult, even when we want it. Getting guidance, support and accountability can help you to create lasting change. Often we're quick to judge our own weaknesses but we fail to see our own strengths. I enjoy collaborating with clients and finding the path to improvement that works best for them based on their unique personalities and backgrounds. Work can be brief if you're looking to overcome a specific obstacle or longer term if your goals call for continued growth. It's hard to reach out and ask for help so I respond promptly to new client inquiries. My clients find me authentic and easy to talk to and they appreciate my humor as well as my empathy and insight. My goal is to create a safe place to explore new ways of thinking and understanding yourself and to help you set and achieve goals that will improve your life.

Living a life with ever-present anxiety, or challenges with grief and loss, and/or depression might leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. You probably know deep down that you should explore those feelings and develop coping strategies to manage difficult emotions; but where to begin? Plus, thinking about that can invite more stress and other emotional discomfort. You may also desire feeling more in control of your thoughts and feelings, finding a sense of purpose, and reconnecting with joy and meaning in life. You want a brighter future. You want to get through this. In order for the therapy to be effective, I believe that I need to meet you where you're emotionally at and be beside you along the journey. Whether it's through discussion, education, music, video games, or other creative mediums, we can explore these issues that are undermining your quality of life in a way that's effective for you. It can be daunting to take that first step in seeking support. Especially if therapy is new to you. As a certified grief informed professional I offer a safe and welcoming space for you to explore your feelings and find the support you need in order to heal and grow. I invite you to reach out, and let's see if I can help with your journey.
