I will always be sensitive to your needs while we work to deeply understand who you are, what is going on for you, and what you want. I will fully listen to you in a safe place with zero judgement, as we bring awareness to your issues and discover solutions. Feelings of shame, confusion and guilt will be resolved together, as I will challenge your thoughts to develop more balanced thinking and guide you to understand and express your emotions. ​ It takes courage to ask for help, thus I see all clients as strong and capable of change, otherwise they would not be in my office. My commitment is to meet you where you're at and to help you feel safe exploring whatever you're struggling with. I can teach you skills for developing boundaries, regulating your emotions, communicating more effectively, and much more. I will support you to achieve your goals and to build self-compassion and self-reliance. ​

Trauma, anxiety, depression, fear, low self esteem- these experiences and feelings are more common than we think. Many times, we are expected to suppress our emotions and we get by dissociating (or ignoring) the things that are hurting us, the unresolved stuff we have grown so afraid of addressing and shedding light on. I believe in meeting my clients where they are in this delicate journey--growing and creating together. It's important to me that everyone has their own individualized plan on what they feel is effective, helpful, and healing for them. I am a guide, an ally, and a professional- but you are the expert in your life. Together, we navigate your healing process and what it means for you.

I help my clients/patients feel comfortable to begin therapy. I have gone through this process as a client and as a therapist many times. Feeling understood and having someone help you take a look at what is going on can be very refreshing and provide some hope. My background in speech-language pathology has prepared me to work with clients who have difficulty expressing themselves. Expressive arts therapy is an alternative way to reach feelings and represent the experience you're having.

While a person can feel better after a good talk with a friend or relative, for moderate or severe emotional distress, this relief is only temporary. Talking with a trained listener helps alleviate emotional distress for good. The clinicians in our practice are trained and ready to help you.
