Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, as if it's become an epidemic in your life? If so, I'm here to offer specialized support in treating anxiety, depression, and related issues. Together, we can work towards finding real peace of mind. One of the ways anxiety manifests is through constant "playback" of previous interactions and daily tasks, leaving you feeling like you're unable to control your thoughts and the intensity of your thinking. But don't worry, we can address and overcome these challenges. In my approach,

I work with individuals and families that struggle to connect in traditional therapy settings and who may have had challenging or problematic experiences with therapy in the past. I have a, "How can we do it different this time?" approach. I believe it is important to support clients in driving their own treatment through self-determination. I often use cognitive behavioral (CBT), solution focused, reality, person-centered, and experiential approaches to therapy. I look at each person from a "strengths perspective", how an individual relates to the environment around them and how they interact within their family system.

Depression, anxiety, and fear; they can be overwhelming and leave us feeling stuck! Therapy is about understanding, healing, and creating. Each one of us has a story. It’s about where we’ve been and what happened to us. It holds the reasons for our depression, anxiety, and fear. When we understand who we are, and what we need, we can learn to create the life we want. Creation comes from building on strengths and discovering new possibilities. It comes from living intentionally, and well. It brings peace, connection, and an authentic life.

Thank you for taking the time to explore my approach to therapy. I have over 5 years of experience working with people to heal trauma. Traumatic events could include any experience a person perceived as threatening. My therapeutic modality is using a combination of Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Internal Relationship Focusing (IRF). I believe each client's body has the wisdom to guide us, client and therapist, through the resolution of trauma symptoms. I love to work with people who have spent considerable time in talk therapy and are now looking for alternative approaches.

I am uniquely qualified and trained in the field of addiction and especially enjoy working with those who are suffering from addictive disease. As a helping professional for over 25 years I have gained tremendous appreciation for the human spirit and one’s ability to strive for and experience positive change. I believe we all have difficulties to overcome throughout our lives no matter who we are, and change is possible if it is desired. My ideal client is someone that is motivated for change, is willing to engage in honest self-assessment, and understands that insight is necessary but not sufficient for real and lasting results.

Have you noticed your adolescent/ teen’s loss of joy? Have you noticed their routine seeming a bit more daunting? Do you notice your child tends to have a hard time connecting with others, including family? Have you observed a difficulty in managing emotions? Lastly, have you noticed your child/teen having difficulty managing emotions related to food? Society tends to have an opinion of how you should handle these observations. It suggests an ineffective “quick fix” – “Stop crying. Just eat. Pull yourself back together. Stop being sad.” As you might have noticed, it is not that simple. So, how does it become less invasive?

Anxious…Desperate…Torn…Grieved…Confused…Broken…Angry…Disposable…Depressed. Do you find yourself within these words? If we’re honest, most of us have at some point, because life happens – right?

Navigating life and all of its choices can be difficult for everyone. I work with children ages 4-16+ and adults who need a caring, listening, licensed professional counselor (LPC). Effective changes come from setting goals in a safe, nonjudgmental space. We will work together to explore and set goals through evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Achieving goals that are set in our sessions can provide benefits over an entire lifetime.

I am deeply committed to creating a space where you feel seen, heard and understood. With over 13 years of experience in social work, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to my practice while serving individuals in several marginalized communities including but not limited to LGBTQIA+, LatinX & BIPOC, trauma, neuro-divergent, addiction, and the elderly. We each have our own stories, and it is okay to seek guidance when attempting to navigate and understand that self-directed narrative. I too received guidance when I needed it the most, and it granted me a deeper insight into myself. I hope to do the same for you.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who enjoys working with young people. Like adults, a young person can experience interpersonal, emotional and behavioral difficulties usually as a result of stress. I use creative therapeutic interventions to help you better express feelings and resolve problems. I can offer special insight into learning difficulties and school issues. I understand that kids can have struggles that aren't easy to work through alone. Sometimes it seems easier just to hide from your problems, but facing difficult issues with a safe person can have a much healthier outcome.
