As your therapist, I want you to feel heard and validated. Therapy allows an opportunity for introspection into what's working for you and what's not working. The work begins when we can find effective strategies to replace unhealthy coping mechanisms in our life. I find joy in watching individuals gain insight and find pleasure in their lives again. 

 

I have experience in working with clients who have experienced Trauma including:

 

  • Domestic Violence 

  • Sexual Abuse/ Assault 

  • Physical Abuse

  • Traumatic Grief

  • Depression

  • Anxiety

  • Life Transitions (Adoption, Divorce, etc.)

  • Behavioral and Disruption in Children

  • Parenting and Co-Parenting Concerns

  • Play Therapy

  • Gender Identity

  • ADHD/ADD

 

I work with children (beginning at age 5), adolescents, families, and adults.
