I’m so glad you made the bold first step to learn more about therapy. Over the years, counseling has received a negative connotation. However, counseling is simply about discovering techniques to help you accomplish your goals and live a more fulfilling life. My passion is helping people overcome situations that are making them feel anxious, stressed or overwhelmed. During our first session, I will actively listen to you tell your story and describe the areas that you would like to improve. Then, I will explain the treatment options that I believe may be beneficial for you. Together, we will decide what you would like to focus on and how we can best achieve your goals.

​

I have worked with children, adolescents and adults who are experiencing symptoms from a broad range of mental health concerns such as Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. I am trained to use a treatment called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which helps to decrease flashbacks and nightmares for children, teens and adults who have experienced trauma. I also use play therapy, sand tray, expressive arts therapy, solutions focused therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people have a well-rounded experience that meets their individual needs.
