Great to meet you!

My mission in life is to plant seeds in my client's life to help them in gaining confidence and assist them with reaching their goals and dreams. I explore trauma and experiences in my client’s childhood that continue to seep into their lives and impact them today. I am trained Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT), Trauma Focused -CBT, and Sand Tray Therapy. I utilize Solution Focused therapy and Strength Based Therapy to identify goals and start working towards a solution.

A bit about my approach to therapy

As your partner in this journey, I provide a trusted and nonjudgmental environment because therapy should be a place where you feel safe, heard, and seen. Sessions will include a combination of talking and use of mindfulness, and strength-based practices with you in the passenger seat. Together we will build your toolbox and manage your symptoms.

What you can expect from our first session

First, we will clarify your needs while we get to know each other and gain a better understanding of the past that has led to the present. Then we will collaborate to create a plan of action to reach your goals. You will learn that consistent change accompanied with a shift in your mindset will help you to gain new skills while building confidence that helps you gain control over your life and your destiny.
