WE ALL HAVE A STORY...... "Owning our story can be hard but, not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky, but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy-the experience that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light"- Brene Brown. I provide a safe space for you to share your story and together we can develop long lasting solutions. I draw on several treatment modalities (including, but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy) to allow you to further develop your strengths and help you meet all of your treatment plan goals at a speed that works best for you. I'm also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) who specializes in processing and healing from various traumas (sexual, emotional, physical and military/combat). Overall, I help you to see that managing the stressor is more important than just managing the stress as it will allow you to cope with anything that comes your way.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

You can expect to be provided with a comfortable non-judgmental environment to share your story. I help individuals to learn how to love themselves, regularly participate in self-care and learn how to constructively sit with and process the pain. We Will look at evidenced based practices that will help you achieve your highest Emotional Intelligence so you can learn how to enjoy your life to the fullest. We will discuss and evaluate coping skills you can access to strengthen your love for self. We will explore relationships on your life, especially the one with yourself, as that is the most critical and the one constant variable in all of your experiences. Self-Care is not selfish; it's necessary. I'm here to provide a safe place for you to heal and grow.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral, Acceptance and Commitment and Solution-Focused Therapy interventions. Motivational Interviewing is also used in my practice to assess what drives each person to work toward self-improvement. I personalize the interventions based on each individual

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My strengths as a therapist are compassion, unbiased and having a passion to assist individuals to overcome life's hurdles and become the best version of themselves. I have been in my profession for over 15 years and have gained a lot of insight on what is often underneath the mental pain many people endure. I see each person's character before their problems and prioritize the therapeutic relationship in order to confront clients in a way that is non-threatening but collaborative and focused on growth.

My first session with her today was really good and very friendly, very inviting straight to the point. I felt very confident that she's going to help me with my trauma and issues. Felt a sense of peace talking to her which is really good

My first session felt like I was talking to my best friend about how my day was going. I felt so comfortable and heard... as in actually taking notes and taking in EVERYTHING I was telling her... It has been a while since I felt like that with a therapist. I stopped therapy a while ago because I never thought I could find a good fit... but now... now I can't wait to book my next appointment... and cannot wait to experience true emotional, professional, and personal growth.
