About My Clients

You may be feeling lost when it comes to parenting a spirited child. You might be struggling in your relationships, your work and your overall life due to trauma or hard times you have experienced in your past. Maybe you find yourself having too many glasses of wine at the end of a long day, despite telling yourself you'd cut back. Again. If this sounds like you, more than likely you need some support from someone who is unbiased and non-judgmental. I would be happy to offer you this to you!

My Background and Approach

I help my adult clients heal from trauma and recover from substance abuse. I help my kid clients to express themselves more effectively, and work through big feelings. I use a variety of modalities to assist my clients including play therapy (for kids), DBT strategies for substance abuse, and eye movement desensitization to assist with processing trauma. I know reaching out for help is so hard. I know that uncovering painful memories and emotions is also hard. I can and want to help you through this process.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that everyone has a story, and everyone deserves for their story to be heard! I also believe in the rights of every individual to express themselves authentically, love who they love unashamedly and to go throughout their daily lives safely and without fear of discrimination and retaliation.
