While I believe that therapy is a personal experience that looks different from person to person I believe we all want the same thing: to feel supported through the pain, heartache, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life struggles. I am here to be that support for YOU. I am here to help you process through past traumas, manage current crises, develop healthier coping mechanisms, feel empowered, and provide that safe space for you to share the story that you have feared sharing for far too long. Book with me by clicking on my website and I can provide that safe space for you.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
My hope as a therapist is to provide you with the empathy you seek, the resources you need, and the skills you desire to become a more hopeful, empowered, and balanced YOU. Our first session will be our introductory session where you can safely share your experiences that have brought you to seek therapy. By the end of our session will we collaboratively work to identify your goals for future sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
As a single parent myself, I have worked with many parents as they struggle through the lack of support to kid's behavioral concerns, feeling hopeless in the parenting experience, and many more parenting challenges. My hope as a therapist is to provide you with the empathy you seek, the resources you need, and the skills you desire to become a more hopeful, empowered, and balanced YOU.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
With over 16 years in the mental health field I have developed specialties in crisis intervention, complex trauma, and parenting issues. Being a single parent myself has given me a unique perspective into the mental, emotional, financial, resource, and juggling needs of parenthood. I hope to be a helpful support in your parenthood journey.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I begin therapy with a Person-Centered approach which I define as getting to know the WHOLE you (struggles, strengths, and everything in between). I am genuinely curious to learn who you are, what brings you to therapy, and how I can best assist you in your time of need. No matter what the struggle may be I am truly thankful for everyone who is willing to share their personal journey with me.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Utilizing CBT methods, I help people understand how our thoughts, feelings, and actions interact with one another. When we focus our energy on one specific aspect (most often thoughts and/or actions) we can work on improving our feelings which leads to a greater sense of self-control.
