About My Clients

I work alongside those who may be within a crossroad in life that has them questioning which direction to choose. Through exploring your sense of meaning and empowering your "choices", I can help you gain the ability to achieve personal growth, autonomy, improved relationships, regulated emotions, increased self-esteem, clarified self-identity, coping skills, increased communication and problem-solving skills, decreased anxiety and depression, improved lifestyle, and a deeper sense of self-worth

My Background and Approach

In my work as a Therapist, my clinical training and experience encompasses depression, couples enrichment, grief/loss, separation/divorce, relationship issues, and other emotional/interpersonal disturbances. I specialize in trauma such as sexual abuse, domestic violence, and death/illness. Also, as a Marriage/Family, Individual and Adolescent Therapist, I subscribe to trauma-informed strength based, Cognitive Behavioral and Gestalt models of therapies, believing in the importance and connection of choice, empowerment, thinking and feeling for creating long-lasting change within individuals and their varying "parts of self".

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

"Life without change is not living; To be uncomfortable means that change is right around the corner!" I believe these words wholeheartedly as all of us arrive at a crossroads that determine whether we move forward, backward or remain stagnant. Even within my own life, I can viscerally pinpoint forks in the proverbial road where I clearly saw the paths laying ahead, yet feeling at an utter loss - overwhelmed and at times even dreading the idea of moving on. However each time I leaned in to these feelings and took a leap of faith, I found myself being bolstered and growing exponentially as a human being - thus leading me to this journey I am hoping to come alongside you in today! If you want to learn more about how I can help, don't hesitate - just like me, take the leap, you'll see.
