I am a mother of three and characterized by a strong sense of purpose and compassion. I have an MBA as well as a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My professional training and certifications include holistic counseling, trauma, cognitive, dialectical, internal family systems, somatic stabilization, neurobiology, and mindfulness interventions. I collaborate with individuals, both men and women, and focus on the four pillars of wellness: mind, body, spirit, and environment.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can expect a friendly and compassionate experience that provides a comprehensive intake and understanding of their goals outlined in a treatment plan. I take time to use assessment instruments in order to ensure accurate diagnosis and evidence-based therapy (EBT).
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength is that I care greatly about the people I work with and, according to clients, "it shows".
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am best positioned to help clients who are struggling with juggling multiple competing priorities, anxiety, developmental trauma, and stress management through open communication and a willingness to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Ideally, individuals who are motivated to make positive changes in their lives and are comfortable with self-reflection and commitment to the therapeutic process, which can feel slow sometimes.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT techniques to help my clients alter unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving and learn new coping skills in an effort to reduce emotional distress and improve daily functioning.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I work with dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to strike a balance between validation (acceptance) of who you are and your challenges and the benefits of change. This includes working on mindfulness, acceptance, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills.
Feminist
Feminist therapy is a form of psychotherapy that emphasizes the impact of gender, power, and social oppression on individuals' mental health and well-being. It is based on the principles of feminist theory, which seeks to promote equality and justice for women and other marginalized groups.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS is a transformative tool that conceives of every human being as a system of protective and wounded inner parts led by a core Self. We believe the mind is naturally multiple and that is a good thing. Just like members of a family, inner parts are forced from their valuable states into extreme roles within us. Self is in everyone. It can’t be damaged. It knows how to heal.
Somatic
Somatic therapy explores how the body expresses deeply painful experiences, applying mind-body healing to aid with trauma recovery.
