I'm a relational therapist specializing in treating grief & loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, & parent-child relationships with adolescents & adults. Feeling stuck in a particular area of life such as your relationships, school/work, identity, or emotions? Sometimes we find ourselves repeating old habits that no longer serve us. I often work with individuals experiencing issues around shame and self-worth, who view themselves much harsher than the rest of the world. I offer room to explore these patterns with compassionate curiosity and supportive guidance for you to start trying something different – space for a new narrative.
To heal & move forward you first need to feel seen & heard. I listen deeply to carefully integrate different therapeutic approaches based upon what the individual or family needs from me. The human brain is hardwired for relationship & connection, so I work hard to build a safe space for us to explore, learn, & grow together.
There's a wealth of grit & resiliency inside each of us. It's my job to help you build on the internal strengths that already exist in you. Healing, growth, exploration, & change all take place in a secure relationship – including ours. Beginning therapy is an act of hope & a bid for health. Get in touch for a free 20m consultation & let's get started.
I believe that healing is most powerful when we feel seen, heard, and understood—especially when navigating difficult and vulnerable moments. Every client is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs and goals. I integrate evidence-based modalities such as: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), & Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), with Mindfulness-Based Practices to promote self-awareness, acceptance, & stress reduction.
I love working with kids, teenagers, and their families. I specialize in expressive arts and utilizing play to help youth achieve success and progress. I am creative and playful at heart and belief this makes me a great support for these ages.
Let's work together and help you find your direction. My counseling style is highly consultative and coaching-like. It is typically non-directive, as I believe each client pilot's their own ship, but when the situation warrants, there is plenty of idea sharing and strategizing as well.
I have been practicing for 21 years and work with clients of all ages and various backgrounds. I believe that with a strong therapeutic alliance, we can mutually come together and help you find a path forward that suits you.
I am licensed as a mental health counselor, and for the past 11 years I have specialized in therapy with children, adolescents, families, and couples, in addition to providing qualified supervision of registered mental health counseling interns. More recently, I served as the clinical director of an infant mental health program in Sarasota, Florida. I received my Master's of Arts in Clinical Counseling from Columbia International University, and have provided therapy for families and couples in their homes, outpatient office settings, and in my private practice.
My approach to therapy for children and parents, and couples is attachment focused. My practice is based on the belief that we all need healthy attachments to significant people in our lives, and when we are hurting, it is then that we need others most. This is why I have found this therapeutic approach to be so effective. Relationships are at the core of our humanity.
My Christian faith dictates everyone is worthy of love and to be able to navigate this beautiful, wild journey of life to the fullest and healthiest. The same can be said in therapy, where I provide positive curiosity and a goal-oriented style.
From home and community to office to tele-health, my decade of experience as an LCSW have provided amazing journeys in unexpected places.
