Imagine a space where you can be your authentic self, express your deepest concerns without fear, where your thoughts and feelings matter, and where your experiences are acknowledged and respected. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who is here to guide, support, and empower you every step of the way on your journey towards healing. I work with children ages 4 & up, adolescents, adults, individuals, groups, couples, and families to explore strategies to navigate challenges, develop coping mechanisms, and build a strong foundation for your mental and emotional well-being.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I often use psychodynamic therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those negative thoughts to change your feelings for the better. When working with children, I utilize play-based and art-based interventions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My approach to counseling is eclectic and incorporates person-centered, strength-based, trauma-focused, and play-based interventions. My focus is on working with depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, anger issues, family conflict, parenting, issues with self-esteem, difficulties with coping, betrayal trauma, harm reduction, and addiction. Acknowledging your struggles and seeking help are powerful steps, demonstrating your commitment to your well-being. In our sessions, you won't find judgment; you'll find empathy and validation. With the right support and understanding, you can work on goals for growth and change, emerge stronger and more resilient, and celebrate your strengths and triumphs.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their childhood and how it impacts their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, utilize tools such as genograms or trauma eggs, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing difficult emotions and challenges in a way that helps you get your life back.
