About My Clients

I offer individual therapy for adults and therapy for children 7 and younger within Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). I specialize in anxiety, complex trauma, ADHD, insecurity, stress reduction, parenting, and spirituality. I help individuals let go of limiting beliefs and step into more empowering beliefs. I help families find more peace at home through connection and breaking dysfunctional generational cycles.

My Background and Approach

I provide an accepting space to explore issues. I am passionate about empowering clients to thrive as their true, authentic selves. I utilize strengths-based, mindfulness oriented, and cognitive-behavioral approaches. I have additional experience in using DBT, EMDR, PCIT, play therapy, NLP, and hypnosis. I have significant experience in helping clients develop healthy coping tools and improving their relationships with themselves and others.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I firmly believe it takes a brave person to reach out for help. Being vulnerable is hard but also crucial for growth. I also believe every person is already whole and perfect. However, beliefs or stories we tell ourselves get in the way and limit us. Letting go of these limiting beliefs and strengthening more empowering ones allow us to more fully thrive as our true, authentic selves. I further believe in the power of connection and aim to help families harness that power and create more peace at home. Ultimately, I am here to support you or your family when you are ready to take the first step on your journey to a more fulfilling life.
