ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS

I am a firm believer that everyone can benefit from engaging in therapy. I feel that everyone deserves that one person and relationship in their life where the total focus is on you and your life and all that it encompasses to make you your unique self.

I have spent the last 23 years working with people and feel that is an honor and a privilege to walk alongside individuals and assist them in navigating and processing their past and present strengths and challenges. The best part of my job and favorite part of the therapeutic process include: providing education on the body and brain connection and assisting with deepening an understanding of ourselves and why we think, feel, act and cope the way we do; discovering the root of the issues at hand, all while honoring resiliency and survival; providing coping strategies to enhance quality of life; and most of all celebrating the many baby steps and successes that lead to long lasting change.

My ultimate goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and confidential space, where you can be seen, where your voice can be heard and to provide the support and tools needed to tackle anything and everything past or present that life has thrown your way.

My clinical foundation and framework are built on trauma informed principles and approaches that guide my therapeutic practice. Promotion of diversity, equity, inclusivity, and social justice are integral and important to me on all levels. I work with a client centered (you “drive the bus” in session and we start where you are), strengths based (focus on your strengths) empowerment (you are in control and your voice matters) and systematic (awareness of all the relationships that impact you) approach.

I work with a variety of individuals seeking support with various needs such as anxiety, distress/trauma, depression, and/or relationship challenges, to list a few! I typically utilize EMDR, Talk Therapy, or a mix of both! We will work together to get to the root of your challenges and make a plan to provide you with the knowledge & tools you need to feel some relief & get you back to the life you desire & deserve!

In my free time, I enjoy spending time socializing with family and friends, loving on my fur baby, traveling, hiking, camping, yoga, interior design, DYI projects, and holistic remedies!
