My approach to working with clients is compassionate and person-centered. I believe each person is an expert on themselves and therefore my role is to be a supportive guide throughout the healing process.

My training and experience have afforded me the opportunity to work with a variety of issues, including but not limited to, complex trauma, sexual abuse or sexual assault grief & loss, anxiety, depression, and those who may be experiencing heightened stress related to family, work, or social situations. I also have several years working with veterans and combat-related issues. You may be bringing years of hurt and challenging situations into counseling but I will be here to support you with that pain.  Throughout my years of experience, I have been able to build a rapport with clients from a variety of different cultural backgrounds and ethnicities leading to successful therapeutic relationships. 

 

I am a certified Accelerated Resolution Therapy therapist. This is an evidence-based practice that promotes healing with the use of eye movements. I have also received a certificate in Trauma-focused CBT. I specialize in helping trauma survivors find their voice to take healing back into their hands.

​

I have also completed the required training to become certified in Perinatal Mental Health, (PMH-C) specialist.  I have personal experience in my journey to motherhood and have experienced parenthood in a variety of ways such as as a live-in caretaker for troubled teens, foster parent, IVF  as well an adoptive mother to a special needs son.  

 

I am here to assist you in your healing journey. Taking the first step can be hard but my staff and I will help you with each step along the way.
