OUR TEAM

My passion as a licensed clinician is working with people who feel ready to jump into their journey of healing! I love working with individuals struggling with Faith based wounds, Trauma, and Relationships struggles. I specialize in working with PTSD, CPTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Codependency, and Adult children of parents with personality disorders. Additionally, I enjoy working with Foster parents, couples who are adopting or thinking of adopting, or are experiencing struggles in parenting and need additional support. I also work with children ages 3-13 who have experienced trauma, have been in the foster system, or struggle with anxiety.

Many of the people I see come to me because what they have been doing has not been working. They are ready to make a change and to move forward in a positive direction. Many of the people who come to see me desire an increased level of support within their relationships around issues of communication, boundary setting, and sometimes codependency. Others come to see me because they are struggling with a recent or past trauma. Together, we work towards increasing self compassion skills, building effective grounding and coping techniques, and work towards moving from a place of surviving to thriving.

My approach tends to be more direct, honest, and forthcoming. Everything I do with you centers around trust and safety. I want you clients to feel safe, to feel heard, and feel like you have a space to have a voice. I will use several different evidence based modalities with you which may include, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Guided Imagery and Music (GIM), and Mindful Self- Compassion.

I work with you, individually, to create a unique treatment plan that addresses your goals for counseling. We will discuss the different approaches I use and together, we will choose what feels like the best fit for you!

When I work with children, the work I do is centered on building a foundation of safety and trust. I focus on teaching different skills to children so that they may start to feel safe communicating their thoughts, feelings, and needs. I work collaboratively with parents so children may feel seen and understood by their parents or caregivers. I also work with the parents/caregivers to help them feel like they are able to connect with their children and move forward together. Nothing is more important than the bond you have with your children. I want to help you grow in your relationship and understanding with your children so that you may grow together and feel good about the bond and connection you have with them.
