Trauma has an undeniable effect on people’s lives that can shape core beliefs about self, relationships, and feeling safe in the world. Seeking out therapy is truly an act of bravery and trust, and I take that trust very seriously. Whatever you have been through, I strive to cultivate a space where you can feel safe with vulnerability. My goal is to help you find the awareness, healing, and resiliency that we all need and deserve.

I value honest and thoughtful communication, which means I communicate in an attentive, supportive, compassionate, empowering, and non-judgmental manner while being authentic, direct, and transparent. I utilize validation and humor in therapy to foster connection and to create space for healthy, long-lasting change. I seek to help my clients deeply accept and understand their own thoughts, emotions, actions, and experiences so they can more effectively navigate their relationships with self and the world.

The heart of my work lies at working with issues related to self-worth, anxiety, "big T" and "little t" trauma, complex/difficult relationships, and spirituality.

I work with adults and older adolescents who are dealing with issues related to depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress, relationships, achievement and success, chronic illness, transitions, early attachment problems, self-esteem, addictions, betrayal, and general problems in living. I focus on self-acceptance and growth rather than on pathology and "change." I believe we are all in this together; I take the journey with my clients rather than thinking I know what is best for them. I think questions are often more important than answers. My motto is: Less judgment, more curiosity.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing, as a therapist for five years with children and adolescents. I specialize in treatment for suicidal behavior/thoughts, anxiety, depression, self harm behaviors, PTSD, behavioral issues, and interpersonal conflicts. I offer DBT treatment in both the individual setting, as well, as in the group setting (co-leading a DBT group). I am happy to work with clients who have had trouble resolving these issues for a period of time and are open to a DBT approach.

My life purpose is to serve clients that are misrepresented and underserved. Populations that I have a passion for include serving people of color, marginalized populations, and adolescents with having a niche for various backgrounds. My experience includes couples, families, and groups struggling with anxiety, depression, severe and persistent mental illness. Through continuous research and supervision, It is my goal to provide quality counseling. With cultural competence and empathetic understanding, I meet my client halfway in order to yield measurable treatment results.

You took the right step to look for an objective perspective. Now, to get unstuck from those anxieties, relationship difficulties or traumatic feelings, it may only take working together to get the perspective you need. It is already in you to find that better place to be and it shows up in the steps you have taken to get here. I would like to work with you to bring out your strengths and walk beside you as you grow.

I am a Licensed Master of Social Work. In this day and time Mental Health is something that is not only overlooked but often misunderstood.  I strive to provide needed support for my clients no matter what life challenges they may be facing. I work with them to pilot through these challenges of life, whether they are personal, with family, or with peers.  My ideal clients are millennials who find themselves facing challenges navigating through the transition to adulthood. In many cases, this transition can cause stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem issues.

“I dont deserve to be happy” or “ I feel like I’m all over the place” or "I am an emotional mess.” Can you identify with any variation of this? I know what you are going through and can help. I can help teach you effective ways in which to control your emotions and feel comfortable in your own skin. Along the way, I hope to develop a working relationship with you and guide you in developing positive habits that can help you find a life worth living. Additionally, DBT Counseling now offers RO DBT (Radically Open DBT) which has been proven effective in treating Chronic Depression, Resistant Anxiety Disorders and other challenges.

I provide a space where you can feel understood, supported and empowered. I truly believe that effective therapy is grounded in a genuine and collaborative relationship between the client and therapist. My style in session is conversational to help build connection, and I provide feedback in an empathetic and non-judgmental way. I can help you learn effective ways to manage difficult feelings, change problematic thought patterns, and address tendencies affecting your relationships and life. I can also help you gain insight into the connection between your past experiences and current issues so that you have lasting change.

My ideal client is every client who is in need of a listening ear. However, my specialty focuses on those who suffer with anxiety, depression, performance or sexual concerns including sexual trauma and/or performance anxiety. I also work with former or current athletes, military veterans, police officers, and trauma survivors who may suffer with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. My specialty also focuses on feminist therapy as I empower and encourage those who are under privileged and underserved. I also enjoy working with members of the LGBT+ community to empower growth and give a voice to any member of the LGBT group.

As a therapist, one of the first and most important messages I hope to communicate about my professional work is that I feel honored each and every time I have the privilege to sit with clients in their pursuit towards growth. My work is grounded in the belief that clients are the experts on their own lives, and my role is to create a collaborative therapeutic relationship to help facilitate change and empower them to live fully.

Have you found yourself challenged with feelings of overwhelm, anxiousness, and sadness related to life transitions? Are you experiencing difficulties in your intimate or family relationships that you wish to overcome? Ineffective communication contributes to increased conflict causing more stress and potentially negatively impacting various aspects of your life. Depression, anxiety, anger, and trauma do not have to be your norm. Strengthening interpersonal skills and finding effective methods to cope with stressors is essential to attain overall wellness and develop a fulfilling life that includes peace and empowerment.

My ideal client is an individual adult, or someone in a relationship having problems they want to resolve. I don't choose my clients, they choose me. With over 40 years of experience as a licensed independent psychologist, I continue to love what I do just as much or more than when I began my career. I am not just a "how does that make you feel" kind of therapist. I will challenge, confront and engage when necessary when I feel doing so will get you to where you said you wanted to go when you came for help.
