It is important to connect with a therapist who makes you feel comfortable, supported and respected. I am passionate about helping my clients achieve personal growth and improvement; to move from a place of emotional pain or discomfort towards one of well-being and peace. My personal warmth and openness facilitate a safe and collaborative environment in which we are able to explore thoughts and feelings that may be causing depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties and struggles to heal from past experiences. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor specializing in working with children and adolescents, I help individuals families find connection, strength and balance through play therapy, talk therapy, art therapy and family focused therapy. I also specialize in helping those pursing recovery from a variety of traumatic experiences through the use of mindfulness, solution-focused therapy and EMDR. Feel free to contact me to explore your feelings, experiences and personal goals.
