Find a Therapist

---

As your counselor, my goal is to provide a warm and welcoming space. I will show up for you again and again, truly listen, and put YOU first. We will work together to identify your strengths and goals, and to overcome life’s adversities. My education is rooted in trauma; I understand the diverse impacts trauma can have on the human body and mind. I have worked with a wide array of clientele, backgrounds, and ages. My treatment specialities encompass: chronic health, trauma, self-esteem, anxiety, and depression among others. No soft voice here; just a real and relatable gal ready to listen, challenge you, and aid you in your growth.

I use a range of therapeutic techniques best suited for each individual. You are uniquely you, and your treatment should reflect that. I specialize in the treatment of chronic health conditions. Individuals of chronic health conditions often experience feelings of anxiety, and depression. Let’s work together to unpack your identity outside of your illness.

The first step of reaching out is the hardest, but I believe you are ready. I commend your bravery, and cannot wait to aid you on your journey. I greatly look forward to hearing from you.

My passion, is working together to identify your values, build understanding, and heal so you may reach your goals, We will navigate these together in a compassionate and safe space. 

I enjoy working with children to adults and offer support through individual, family, and group sessions.

 I have experience addressing anxiety, depression, OCD, behavioral issues, adjustment issues, navigating family dynamics, trauma, self-esteem, and grief and loss. I utilize various techniques and approaches based on your needs, but utilize a cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral therapy lens. 

If  you  are  feeling  lost,  overwhelmed,  and  hopeless, I want to offer you a safe and nonjudgmental environment to pursue your wellbeing.

As your therapist, you are my focus and we will work together to build a life that you deserve and find fulfillment in.  We will explore why we do what we do, not with judgment but with compassion. All behaviors make sense and you will gain insight to explain behaviors and learn to heal from previous hurts. There is no room for judgement in my sessions, we are learning the root causes of unskillful behaviors and how to interact in the world, develop healthy relationships, all while maintaining your needs and acting in congruence with your values. We will create goals for therapy and celebrate the successes (large or small), and continue to build on the progress.  

I have years of experience working with adolescents, family conflict, eating disorders, parenting challenges, and couples. 

My therapy style is client focused and I use a wide variety of techniques to tailor to the clients needs. 

I am a family therapist by training and use a Structural Family Therapy approach to identify the needs of the family system, identify the problematic cycles and the internal strengths, and improve the overall functioning. I can help families learn to manage the challenges of parenting adolescents with big feelings in a safe relationship that develops trust and respect. 

I teach my clients healthy coping skills with a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. You will learn how to allow space for being uncomfortable and gain confidence to be able to regulate your emotions and not let your emotions control you.  Emotional progress is not linear and I will be here with you during the ups and downs. 

As a therapist, I strive to help my clients feel like they are in the driving seat of their therapeutic experience.  My passion is with a person centered and strengths-based approach.  I work alongside my clients to help identify their unique goals and strengths, in order to work towards overcoming life challenges.   

Once we’ve identified difficulties and where you want to improve, we’d next identify goals to work toward, and create a plan to get there.  I have worked with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance abuse, OCD and grief.  I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults and adults, through individual, couple and family sessions.  Various techniques will be utilized per the client’s needs.

I am here to create a safe and judgement free space for you to explore and process the obstacles that are keeping you from living your best life. 

I focus on identifying each person’s individual strengths and on helping find ways to use these strengths to work toward a solution. 

I believe it is important that we work as a team to determine what is important to you. I create a safe space to explore how your thoughts and behaviors impact your situation. As we focus on what matters most to you, we will collaborate on determining goals. We will use creative expression to help you see your goals in a new way. 

Therapy is for everyone, whether you’ve experienced trauma, want to learn skills to better your relationships or regulate your own emotions and reactions. As your therapist I will meet you exactly where you are without judgement. I feel honored to walk through your life with you and learn about the events both helpful and harmful that have shaped you into who you are today. I am interested in your goals and will help you work towards them with a strengths-based approach. 

I currently have 6 years of experience in the mental health field working with trauma, ADHD, depression, anxiety, interpersonal/relational struggles and alcohol and drug addiction. I work with young children on up through adults, and will tailor our sessions to meet your specific needs. I use a combination of motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. 

I’m excited to work with you and grow with you! 

I strive to help adults achieve access to what I believe are the 4 most important qualities in life: balance, purpose, connections and freedom. Balance in being able to practice great self-care while maintaining responsibilities; finding purpose in life when we wake up every day; creating strong interpersonal connections that satisfy our emotional and intimacy needs; and gaining the freedom that comes from breaking harmful patterns of behavior and negative self-talk. For over 30 years I have worked in a variety of treatment settings helping individuals with anxiety disorders, depression, complex trauma and PTSD, parenting and relationship issues, life transitions, and substance use disorders. I draw from a wide range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). After completion of a thorough biopsychosocial assessment, we will develop an individualized treatment plan to guide and create a vision of what you want your life to look like when therapy is brought to completion. My style is straightforward, active, and motivational, and I believe in the healing power of laughter. I invite you to join me as we work together to discover how we can develop those 4 qualities in your life, and build a safe, consistent, and trusting therapeutic alliance to help you reach your goals.
