Great to meet you!

I have worked as a therapist for the past 17 years with diverse groups of children & adolescents, adults, couples, & families in a variety of settings. I have extensive experience w/ anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma/abuse, self-esteem issues, marital/relationship discord, parenting struggles, anger management, behavioral issues, grief & loss, & postpartum depression & anxiety. My approach is warm, compassionate, nonjudgmental, integrative, holistic, multicultural, & strengths-based.

My approach to therapy

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it." - Helen Keller. I personally can identify with struggle, physical & emotional pain, & the heartache of loss, but I also can testify to the beauty of joy, peace, perseverance, resilience, & hope. Difficult seasons create opportunities for growth & insight and help you to learn more about yourself and others. Healing is possible no matter what the problem is and I’m here to help you discover what that looks like!

What you can expect from me

I believe in the power of helping people discover their inner wealth & strengths to persevere through life’s hardships. I am here to instill hope, support, empower, encourage, & help you build skills to navigate through your problems. I will explore your background & listen to your story. We will then work to outline what healing looks like to you. I will support you in gaining insight, learning new skills, & making changes that promote growth mentally, emotionally, physically, &/or spiritually.
