Time to see yourself in a different light

Feeling stressed? Unhappy? Depressed or Anxious? No matter what your reason is for starting the therapy journey, I am glad you are here. Therapy is one of the greatest gifts that you can give to yourself! I will provide you with a non-judgmental and objective sounding board aimed at finding solutions and improving the way you feel about yourself and your life. I am an experienced therapist providing counseling services to children, adolescents, and adults struggling with an array of mental health conditions including anxiety and depression. Through counseling, I am to strengthen each person's relationships with themselves while also leading a more fulfilling life.

 Life is a journey filled with various transitions and changes which can trigger feelings of fear, anxiety, and uncertainty about the future.  As a counselor, I am here to listen to your story and support you as you navigate life.  I will support you by providing you with the tools you need to be the best version of yourself. I believe in meeting you where you’re at and working at a pace that is right for you. During counseling sessions, I incorporate mindfulness and creative techniques during sessions in an effort to provide an inviting atmosphere and work towards your goals.  I pull from various theoretical approaches including Solution Focused and CBT.

As a parent, I understand how difficult it is to watch your child struggle with emotional and behavioral issues. However, you don’t have struggle alone. With several years of hands-on experience, I've had the privilege of working with children struggling with an array of behavioral and emotional challenges. I aim to help parents better understand their children through offering guidance, support, and encouragement.  It is through the process of building a positive and supportive therapeutic relationship, that growth and healing can occur.
 I enjoy working with adults of all ages; however, my clinical focus/specialty is working with children ages 3-12 years old. I assist children in building social skills, learning how to regulate their emotions, improving communication skills, and building self. I am devoted to creating a safe, warm, and welcoming space for children to engage in imaginative and creative play. I utilize a variety of play therapy approaches and interventions, from child centered, to a more directive approach, depending on the needs of the child. I also draw from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Expressive Arts Therapy. I look forward to being a part of your child’s therapeutic journey.
