A byproduct of any therapy is personal growth, and that can be maximized by building a strong foundation of skills that help you stabilize, relax and approach tough situations in a productive way. In addition to supporting personal growth in individual, family and couple's sessions, I also host a Learning to Breathe program which helps build some of those basics.

Change is difficult, especially when it is in a life altering proportion. I am especially skilled in working with you from a systems perspective, which means considering the bigger picture of where you are coming from and where you are going. I will help you navigate important aspects of your transition, such as access to resources, support from those you care about most, and defining what the changes mean to you as personally. You are empowered to take charge in your transition!

Relationships can be tricky things sometimes, but they can also be the most valuable thing in our lives. I am skilled in working with families from a systems perspective to access the resources they need to meet basic needs of families, then build a strong relational foundation on which positive and fulfilling relationships can be built and maintained. From sibling friendships, to partnerships, to parent-child relationships, I want to help you navigate the waters to thrive.

Personal growth is a byproduct of any positive change.

Change can be hard, especially in life changing proportions. My goal is to work with you holistically which means considering the big picture about where you are coming from and where you are going. I am skilled in helping individuals and families navigate the many aspects of life that affect transitions, including access to resources, support network involvement and defining what the change means to you personally so that you are empowered to take charge of the change.

It's all about understanding the connection between our thoughts, our emotions and our behaviors, and how intervening in one area can have a ripple effect into the others. I have been using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy since 2017, as a counseling intern, and continue to apply it to situations in which a new perspective helps promote new, more positive outcomes.

Working from a strengths-based perspective, focusing on solutions rather than problems is a proactive way of pursuing the changes you want to see in your life, and making that change last. I will partner with you in Solution Focused Brief Therapy to promote your empowerment in navigating stuck points in your life, and support you in determining the most effective next steps for promoting your wellbeing.

Based in attachment theory, I have found Emotionally Focused Therapy to be especially successful when mending and supporting relationships, and for navigating life after trauma. Trauma has been an emphasis in my education, and I am especially skilled in working with children, teens and families struggling to form and maintain a healthy lifestyle and thriving relationships after enduring relational devastation.

I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and focus on relational trauma. This includes addressing worries related to childhood neglect and abuse. It is my honor to partner with you in re-writing your orientation to relationships with yourself and with others.
