My approach to therapy is to meet you where you are at in your life. I view you as the expert. I know from my own life experiences and several years of helping others that to put yourself first and reach out for help can place you in a vulnerable state. Change can take a huge leap of faith. I would welcome the opportunity to be a part of your journey, wherever that may take you.

All experiences are unique and allowing me to help with your personal journey is an honor. I am trained and experienced in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, interpersonal relationship difficulties, child and adolescent emotional and behavioral difficulties and school related problems. I primarily utilize Neurofeedback, EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and other expressive approaches.

I know that talking about feelings can seem like a difficult thing to do, but it is my desire to provide a warm, safe, understanding opportunity for you to share your feelings, and for you to know that you are doing so with someone who is attentive, caring, empathetic and sincere in my desire to come alongside and help you. I know that life can be overwhelming, all the more so during these times, and it is my desire to help you experience life to the fullest. I believe everyone has value and a purpose and I would love the chance to help you discover yours.

Our mission is to assist you in becoming the strongest version of yourself: who you truly are.

With over 25 yrs. of counseling experience I can help you create a new chapter to your life story. Do you feel "stuck", repeating patterns that get in the way of you having the life you want?

Do you wish you had closer relationships? Do you have long standing problems that just seem to never get better? Do you have a hard time telling people “no”? Do you wish you stood up for yourself better? Do you need to feel better about yourself? Do you need a better life balance?

As a licensed professional clinical counselor with 25 years of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in helping people discover their best selves and their own power to overcome trauma and adversity. If you find yourself being controlled by the events of your past and your own emotions, that may be because our bodies and brains are wired for protection and preservation. When that happens, our own thoughts and feelings can seem to betray us and hold us back with feelings of overwhelm, depression and anxiety, However, our bodies also have the intrinsic ability to heal given the right guidance and interventions.
