I have been in private practice for six years and my rich background in counseling includes over seventeen years as a school counselor in elementary, middle and high school. I enjoy working with children, teens and adults on pursuing treatment goals for counseling using positive solutions towards improved mental health. I am certified in EMDR therapy and I am a trauma informed therapist who also has been trained in Acceleration Resolution Therapy (ART) and Progressive Counting.

Hello! I have experience working with adolescents and adults using a variety of therapy techniques in individual and group therapy sessions. I work with a variety of treatment modules including CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, existential therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness. I have worked extensively in crisis experience and with clients in crisis partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive out-patient (IOP), and in school settings.
I specialize in complex trauma, dissociation, and attachment issues. Essentially I specialize in the “why” we do what we don’t want to, and what do we do about it? I use a variety of evidence based interventions including: EMDR(Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), IFS(Internal Family Systems), family therapy, play therapy, and more.
Every person will encounter difficult obstacles in life, but your past or current struggles do not have to define your future. I have devoted my life to empowering people experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, post-traumatic stress, ADHD, and other issues, helping them find long-term solutions. I provide therapy in a non-judgmental, supportive space with the goal that you will recognize your value and capacity for wholeness regardless of what holds you back today.
I am an over-the-top passionate millennial therapist who LOVES helping children, adolescents, and young adults navigate the complexities of their emotional and behavioral well-being. I hold deep-rooted values for empathy, patience, trust, and collaboration with clients and parents. I create a nurturing, relatable, and nonjudgmental space where minds can feel heard and understood. By actively listening and demonstrating genuine care, I foster a solid therapeutic alliance that empowers my clients to explore and feel their emotions, develop coping and interpersonal strategies, overcome challenges, and experience healing.
I am a warm and creative counselor dedicated to helping clients reach their full potential. I enjoy working with individuals ages 3 through adulthood, guiding them on their mental health journey through empathy, collaboration, and goal setting. By using research-based practices, I strive to empower each person to grow, heal, and become the best version of themselves.
