Time to see yourself in a different light

Feeling stressed? Unhappy? Depressed or Anxious? No matter what your reason is for starting the therapy journey, I am glad you are here. Therapy is one of the greatest gifts that you can give to yourself! I will provide you with a non-judgmental and objective sounding board aimed at finding solutions and improving the way you feel about yourself and your life. I am an experienced therapist providing counseling services to children, adolescents, and adults who are hoping to strengthen their relationships with themselves and lead more fulfilling lives.

As a married mother to three adult children, I have experienced significant life events and transitions over the years. I understand how challenging times can leave us feeling overwhelmed and immobilized. Meeting our thoughts, emotions, and behavior with curiosity and compassion is the foundation for unraveling the complex web that can prevent us from realizing our full potential. Grounded in empathy and validation, I offer a personalized and holistic therapeutic approach. I integrate various therapeutic techniques, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I have experience treating depression, anxiety, trauma, and adjustment issues. Together, we can uncover your inner strength and resilience and forge a path toward hope, purpose, and empowerment.

As a parent, I understand how difficult it is to watch your child struggle with emotional and behavioral issues.  As a professional, my role is to provide support and partner with children and families to meet their unique needs.  My therapeutic approach is grounded in a person-centered, strengths based, trauma informed, and solution focused perspective.
My clinical focus is on children ages 3-12 with a variety of emotional and behavioral concerns. I am devoted to creating a safe, warm, welcoming space for children to engage them through imaginative and creative play. I utilize a variety of play therapy approaches and interventions, from child centered, to a more directive approach, depending on the needs of the child. I also draw from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Expressive Arts Therapy. I look forward to being a part of your child’s therapeutic journey.

**I work with children in person and will be accepting new clients in August 2024.
