Welcome! I specialize in supporting children, adolescent girls, and women as they navigate the challenges of growth, self discovery, and empowerment in a safe and nurturing space. My goal is to help individuals find their inner strength, work towards building resiliency, and feel truly empowered to live their best life. My specialties include anxiety, ADHD, family changes, self esteem, relationship stress, behavioral issues, risky behaviors in teens, bullying, trauma, women’s issues, challenges surrounding perinatal and postpartum mental health.
Clients can expect to leave therapy sessions feeling understood and supported, with practical tools for mindfulness, stronger connections in their relationships, and a sense of balance inspired by a nurturing, nature-grounded approach.
I work to bring a calm and grounded presence to my work always infused with a touch of humor. My down to earth personality helps create an approachable environment, making the process of navigating therapy feel more manageable. As a wife and mother of two, I understand the struggle to set aside time for yourself. I believe the heart of effective therapy lies in the relationship between therapist and client, this is why I work closely with parents to truly understand their family’s unique needs.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor working with children, adolescence, and adult women since 2013.
Interpersonal
One of my treatment modalities include Interpersonal I work with clients to understand the significance of relationship and relationship patterns and how these can impact overall mental health. I often emphasis the importance of a positive therapeutic relationship.
Play Therapy
Play therapy is an approach that uses play to help children express themselves, process emotions, and develop problem solving skills. Since children find it difficult to articulate their thoughts, children most commonly communicate through play. This provides a creative outlet for your child to communicate their inner world. Play therapy can use a variety of toys, art materials, and games. Specific techniques I may use include role playing, perspective taking, story telling, biblio therapy, and painting.
Feminist
Therapy provides women with the space to prioritize their mental health, gain emotional tools, and create a more balanced and fulfilling life. Women often face unique challenges such as societal pressures, gender roles, workplace discrimination, and high expectations, which can contribute to stress and overwhelm. Life transitions like motherhood, or experiences with trauma, can also deeply impact self-identity. I work to women to feel empowered over their life, and manage stress during this transitional times.
