I want to congratulate you for taking a courageous first step toward getting help.

If your teenager is in turmoil and you don't know what to do I can provide them with a safe place to take a deep breath and unload their problems. Being a teenager is hard enough and the ever-increasing demands and pressures from school and society can take their toll. Along with adolescents and their families, my other area of specialty is help and healing for women who are having emotional difficulties after having an abortion. For some women, this experience can cause severe anxiety, guilt, anger and bitterness. I am trained to help you through this, grieve the loss and move forward in a completely non-judgmental setting.

I can't believe this is happening! Sound familiar? Did you catch your spouse cheating on you? Betrayal, fear, shame, anger, rage, sadness, hyper-vigilance and a host of other intense emotions are consuming your life. Maybe your spouse hasn't cheated on you. Maybe you have drifted apart and you feel like roommates. Is your spouse distracted, spending hours on the computer or clinging to the phone? Do you feel emotionally, physically and spiritually cut off? Have you caught your spouse watching porn? Often times, porn is a major contributor in intimacy disorders and sex addictions. Don't give up, there is hope!

As a CMHC intern & mother of two little ones, I understand the challenges of juggling parenthood, relationships, & career. I have a passion for assisting others in their personal healing journey through the blended use of talk therapy, somatic experiencing (mind-body work), & the ACT modality (actionable-therapy.) My therapeutic approach relies, first, on developing a strong therapeutic relationship with the client, assessing your needs, & developing an intuitive treatment plan that helps you achieve your goals. I believe the inner work we do in therapy creates positive ripple effects into all essential areas of our lives.

Are you looking for a warm, dynamic counselor who invests in her clients to help produce positive, meaningful change? Are you struggling day to day?

Are you afraid of change? Be kind to yourself. Take time for you. You have the answers deep within you. Hiding from pain will only worsen the symptoms, behaviors and relationships. I believe each person has the ability to be their own healer. I see treatment as an opportunity for clients to remove the fear in their life and gain peace, happiness and self-confidence. My ultimate goal is to provide a genuine and safe environment. Through mistakes and failure, we can become resilient. I am honored to provide guidance in this vital journey. "Maybe you are searching among the branches, for what only appears in the roots". Rumi
