Are you struggling with managing your daily life, work stress, or relationships? Have you recently experienced loss or trauma? Are you dealing with health or aging issues for yourself or a loved one? You may feel overwhelmed by your thoughts, feelings, moods and emotions? Or feel as though you are struggling as a parent? Maybe you feel like you could use some support and coping mechanisms. In treatment, we can work together to help you find inner clarity and peace, confidence, long-lasting skills and strategies. This can improve your overall well-being, and your relationships, and improve your ability to cope with life stressors. I have treated men and women dealing with a range of concerns including parenting skills, career training, abuse and trauma, grief and everyday life stress. I enjoy mixing different methods including yoga and meditation with conversation to empower my clients and get to the root of the struggle. I believe that therapy is a collaborative effort and strive to help my clients get the best outcomes from our time together.

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

In the first session together, we will start with a brief introduction and some background information. From there we will discuss the challenges you feel as though you are facing. This will allow me to create a plan tailored to your needs.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

My therapeutic style utilizes a supportive, strength-based approach. I utilize a combination of psychodynamic, person-centered, CBT, and mindfulness approaches to best fit my client's needs for short-term or long-term therapy.

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

I have experience treating individuals, geriatrics, adolescents, families, and couples. I am certified in health and aging, and grief. I am also dementia certified. I have spent several years supporting families who are struggling with their health or the health of their loved ones. Additionally, I am a trauma-informed therapist and I have experience working with women and men who have suffered domestic trauma.
