I'm here to help you to heal past trauma and grow into the person you would like to become, allowing you to thrive in your life and relationships. I utilize Brainspotting therapy to help release the trauma and calm the body's nervous system. I can also help support your relationships, support you during times of grief and loss, and help LGBT+ community members maintain an authentic sense of self in light of the stigma they face. I became a counselor so that I could help others experience their own transformation through counseling. In my counseling practice, I provide a safe space, or a healing ground, where empathy, trust, respect, and acceptance are cornerstones.

As a trained art therapist with a passion for working with children, adolescents, and women, I understand how trauma, oppression, life challenges, loss, and major transitions can lead us to feel disconnected from ourselves and others. I guide individuals in reconnecting with their deeper selves and addressing their needs through the use of art therapy and other therapeutic modalities, such as play therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness techniques. Change is possible. Whether you are struggling with past trauma, depression and anxiety, loss, or relationship issues, I will work with you with great compassion, guiding you to effectively make changes and discover and create new habits that better serve you in creating the life that you want.

I specialize in working with older adults, caregivers and individuals experiencing transition. I also enjoy working with individuals exploring what values and lifestyle choices are right for them, especi if those choices are different from the values they were taught in childhood or the values their loved ones hold.ave worked in several settings, with many different issues and populations. However, all of these settings have one thing in common - they are focused on brief interventions. I believe clients can make the changes they want, often in brief time frame. I am here to facilitate that process in an efficient way so you can get the most out of each session. I am a proponent of strengths-based therapy wrapped in a cognitive behavioral approach with elements of Gestalt techniques.

I have worked with individuals struggling with Trauma, Addictive and Compulsive behaviors with food, alcohol, and/or drugs, as well as Depression, Relationship Issues, Domestic Violence, Anxiety, and Life Transitions.

I tailor my therapeutic approach to use your strengths and work collaboratively to reach your goals, as well as challenge you to evaluate whether your behavior is congruent to your own values/goals.

I utilize several effective therapeutic approach's such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy,and Solution Focused Therapy as well as having my clients practicing mindfulness and meditation outside of the therapy room.

I offer a Free Consultation for us to meet and a Sliding Fee Scale.
