Teamwork is the most important foundation in counseling. I am here to help guide you towards meeting goals and resolving challenges that life throws at you. As your therapist I aim to work with you to overcome any obstacles that you are facing in your life and embark with you on your journey. It is my hope that throughout our time together, you will create a path towards understanding and being able to resolve your own obstacles and challenges. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults who suffer with anxiety, depression, anger management, and adjustment issues, to name a few. I have several years experience working with children who are Autistic, have behavioral problems, anger, defiance/impulsivity, depression, anxiety, adjustment, and who struggle with regulating emotions. I understand life may throw many obstacles your way. I am here to guide you towards beating those obstacles and overcoming any challenges you are facing.

It’s okay to ask for what you need. This is something I need to remind myself of on a daily basis. So many of us focus intently on making sure everyone else is taken care of and we completely abandon ourselves and ignore our own needs. This leaves us feeling exhausted, depleted, and quite frankly, resentful because we think to ourselves “why isn’t anyone taking care of me?” I teach my clients what a healthy relationship looks like because if this wasn’t modeled to you at some point throughout your life, no one can expect you to know what it means. View 7 Photos I support my clients in individual, couple's, family, intensive, and group therapy. Some of my specialties include trauma, codependency, identity, relationships, addiction, anxiety, and depression. I support my clients in learning how to reparent themselves by identifying and fulfilling their own needs and establishing boundaries with others. At first, learning to follow through with boundaries is scary, hard, and uncomfortable, and I walk through those muddy waters with my clients, so they never feel alone. Together we will find your strengths, as well as practices, techniques and skills to improve your overall happiness and quality of life.

I provide individual, couple’s, family, intensive, and group therapy to adults. My clients are seeking relief from their trauma, dysfunctional relationships, shame, addictions, compulsive sexual behavior, disordered eating, grief, and codependency. Typically my clients are over functioning in many areas but cannot pinpoint why they struggle in relationship with others or feel chronically unhappy. Many of my clients identify as Adult Children of Alcoholic and Dysfunctional families or have addiction in their family system. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist, Experiential Therapist, and trained in the trauma resolution therapy of Brainspotting. I have worked with mental health, addiction, family systems, and disordered eating for 8 years. I utilize psychodrama, somatic experiencing, and other experiential methods in our work together. I believe in active, direct work after establishing trust and safety so that you do not feel stuck for months. Sessions with me may include traditional talk therapy but often include action/body based methods for clients to resolve issues that talk therapy has not addressed and to target areas of the brain where trauma is held.

Many of our clients look good on the outside, yet feel mildly miserable on the inside. Pain is motivating and when clients are hurting, they call to schedule an appointment. It takes more than intellect to change behavior. Most of our clients are intelligent and know what they "should" do, yet struggle to take action. Our team works with people (or partners) who struggle with substances and behavioral medicators such as alcohol, porn, overeating and codependency. We treat individuals, couples and families that need help with addiction, mental illness, infidelity or simply feeling stuck. It is a relief to not have to do it alone.. View 8 Photos We typically work with addicts and/or family members of addicts that are suffering with codependency and family of origin issues. In the work, we often discover that the addict behavior covers up feelings that surround unresolved trauma. Helping clients resolve this underlying trauma creates new and healthy ways to connect, be seen and get one's needs met. We work experientially, bringing action & feeling to the process rather than simply talking about it. Clients find this exciting, freeing and relieving. By working this way, clients can rely on their clarity that comes from the work. We have found working in 90 minute blocks allows more time & helps clients feel seen and heard in a profoundly healing way.
I strive to help people discover their purpose, increase self-awareness, and empower them to be the outstanding individuals they are capable of being. By discarding emotional baggage, often years of hurt, pain, guilt and shame; you can rediscover your purpose, live a more fulfilling life, and regain your natural balance. With the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I work to help you resolve and better manage issues associated with depression, anxiety, work related stress and relationships. By exploring and addressing the three components of the self: Mind, Body and Spirit; we will work together to help restore balance, meaning and purpose in your life. Our working relationship is designed to elicit positive change and confront roadblocks that are blocking you from a sense of fulfillment, satisfaction and purpose. I am here to walk with you on this new journey of self discovery and transformation.
