I am so glad you are here! In the struggles of day to day life it can be hard to find time for self care. Just taking the time to look for someone to support you on your journey is a major leap in taking care of you. If you feel we are a fit, I'd love to help you learn more about what you need and want from life.

I also work with teens and young adults. If you are a parent looking for a therapist for your teen, you have found one! I am her to help you child understand their brain. Communication, social interactions, decreasing anxiety and depression, and increasing joy and hope are just a few of the areas I work on with teens. Building a strong emotion regulation foundation helps to smooth the transition from high school to young adulthood. I am here to help your child succeed.

Over the past decade I have cultivated various approaches to helping others learn about themselves. From sitting and talking to dancing and painting, I am more than willing to integrate supportive activities that speak to my clients. Adult and teens need more than just "talking it out" to move through big emotions and challenging changes in life.

I have background in expressive arts, which can be used to work through trauma, self-injury, and complex relationships with oneself and others. Sand Tray, visual journaling, and Dancing Mindfulness are just a few of the tools I bring to the mix. Talking or creating, the choice is up to you. The option for both is always there!

The key to a first session is openness. I hope to create a space for you to share whatever you feel is most important so that we can begin to discuss what your goals are. I will encourage you to think beyond feeling better and to visualize what your life will look like when you no longer need or want therapy. Goals can be as big or small as you want, but don't sell yourself short. You deserve happiness!
