Managing life's challenges isn't something you have to do alone. I am passionate about creating a safe, nonjudgmental, and empathetic space to help you explore the parts of you that need healing and validation. I strive to create a deep relationship that fosters growth and safety during the most challenging walks of life. I believe therapy should be somewhere you can heal attachments and truly be yourself without shame. Creating a healing relationship with yourself can help you manage life’s challenges and live more authentically. I want to help you discover your strengths, build resilience, and strengthen your mental health. My foundation is the therapeutic relationship using techniques from Person-Centered/Relational. My primary theory is Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help treat the parts that need healing. Being flexible and meeting people where they are at is important in successful therapeutic outcomes. Research reveals that effective therapy is less technique and more about a trusting therapeutic relationship. It's important to find a therapist that's a qualified, good fit for you. Contact me today for more info or to schedule an appointment.

Every person deserves a secure, safe space where they can become their most authentic selves. I strive to approach therapy with genuine compassion, warmth, and empathy. I believe that therapy at its core is a creative, non-judgmental space between equals. This creates an environment where you can be yourself and learn to manage the thoughts and emotions getting in your way. I like to incorporate a combination of techniques from Person-Centered, Adlerian, Solution-Focused, Strengths-Based, and Trauma-Focused counseling approaches to fully comprehend your unique experience and how best to help you. Whether you are struggling with trauma, abuse, depression, anxiety, or stress related to any number of life circumstances, I'd be happy to help you find hope and make progress toward your goals. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Registered Play Therapist (RPT), I'm able to provide individual counseling to children (3+), adolescents, and adults. We all need help at times.

I have a passion for working with behaviorally challenging kids, their parents, and women. I enjoy the process of sorting through the outward difficult behaviors and discovering the root of their actions. I have worked with troubled teens and tweens for more than 14 years and have discovered that there is always more than meets the eye with these youngsters. The teenaged years and the few preceding years are difficult times not only for the kids, but parents and caretakers. It may seem that nothing helps manage their behaviors and emotions. I can help kids and their parents find solutions to defiant behaviors. I also have experience in working with clients with traumatic experiences. I am trained in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), a treatment that targets specific traumatic memories and helps the brain reprocess them. I am also trained in brain spotting, a therapy that evolved from EMDR used to treat a variety of disorders. If you having difficulty with parenting your teen, struggling to navigate past your trauma, or need space to talk, call me to schedule an appointment.

I help people work through difficult experiences so that they can live a more full and hopeful life. My approach to therapy is very relational and I believe that through the therapeutic relationship, one can begin to heal old wounds. I am trained in EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), which helps in processing and changing the way one thinks of themselves in the face of traumatic events. I have found that my mixture of attachment-based relational approach and empirically-backed techniques creates an environment of deep healing. I am also receiving training in AEDP (Accelerated-Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) in July. The work that someone would expect to receive is transformational. I believe transformation comes from the ability to experience one’s truth and gaining mastery over your emotions, by no longer masking, distorting, or blocking them. I meet people where they are at. We all have a story and deserve to be heard.

I believe one of the most challenging things that you can do is to begin to understand your own story. We gather a lifetime of experiences which affect us in different ways. Holding on to past negative experiences prevents further exploration and healing. In a sense we get stuck in patterns of thinking and relating that hold us back from true potential and empowerment of our best assets. I have practiced for 25 years in a variety of settings both inpatient and outpatient. I utilize a variety of approaches to include TF-CBT, DBT, Solution-focused and ecclectic approaches to help you begin where your at and reach the goals you determine to continue a path to living a better life. Life is too short to be affected by poor relationships, letting past trauma or grief control you or to feel anxious, depressed or angry all of the time. My hope is for you to be free of emotional pain, be able to deal with life’s terms and to find meaning and purpose in the important areas of your life. So reach out and take the first step to contact me.

I feel a "calling" to help adults and teens through counseling! I offer clients deep compassion, unconditional acceptance, and understanding. Often we believe the worst about ourselves!

I provide a safe environment that is consistently supportive, empathetic, and empowering! I will help you see yourself anew, grieve your losses, face your fears, and help you locate your deep self and reconnect to your life's purpose. A natural joy will follow! I see everyone's life as a journey to become the best version of themself possible. I assist my clients to awaken to their unique inner gifts and style that they came into this world with. I help them deal with limiting beliefs from childhood, heal traumatic events, and deal with unresolved shame. Nagging anxiety and depression will begin to lift! I counsel some adults who want help with nagging feelings of not being good enough. And couples who feel their marriage may be on the very brink of breaking. And, teenagers who are really struggling with finding who they are. Or, adults dealing with grief issues, or are struggling to find ways to feel happy with their lives. I'd love to help! Call!
