I work with people who struggle with addiction/substance abuse problems along with their families. I also am able to work with people who have mental health concerns such depression, anxiety, trauma, family communication problems.

I help millennial women get unstuck. Many women promise themselves they’ll do things differently from now on - and find themselves stuck in the same spot 6 months later. Life’s too short to let your past keep disrupting your future. Life in the modern world can put on an immense amount of pressure. I can help you overcome anxiety, depression, and the things that are holding you back from living out your potential.

I work predominantly with adults and families, but also work with many adolescents in different settings. I believe in a transparent, empathetic, safe and productive environment provided for my clients. I work with a wide array of client situations but have special focus in chronic/acute pain and illness, trauma, and marital/family issues. Trauma plays a large part in our lives whether we are aware of it or not. These events at times change the wiring and firing of our brain functions. Using the appropriate tools and transitional methods, we can better understand and work together towards a more joyful and productive lifestyle.

The beginning of healing happens in a relationship. For this reason, I seek to create a safe place where you and your story are always welcome and accepted. I partner with you to help cultivate healing, growth and flourishing while being open and honest through self-exploration and reflection. I take an integrative approach to treatment bringing together different evidence-based treatment approaches to best serve you. I work to empower you and discover your personal strengths and capacities so you can have more control and stability in your choices, your emotions, and your relationships.

As a person of color, and someone who has experienced depression and anxiety, I can understand when life becomes unmanageable and we need someone to talk to about our feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. I am here to talk because I have been down this road before. I am open and always willing to discuss the problem and help with your recovery. Life is too shot to be quiet about our problems. Come, lets build a good relationship and trust that will help us work together to achieve our goals.

Feeling disconnected, awkward, and uncomfortable in your own skin. Panic attacks that close your throat, chest and interrupt your sleep. Does your trauma or anxiety even depression cause conflict in your relationships with others? Feel like a fraud when others comment on your life and how great you are, yet you do not feel this way at ALL! Finding relief from these feelings and how to manage when anxiety shows up unannounced! Are you exhausted from the seemingly never-ending worry nagging at you? Your circle and lifestyle dwindling smaller in the effort to contain the worry? Therapy can be a lifeline to address those needs.

Do you struggle during this crisis or other circumstances? My counseling specialty is working with individuals and couples who struggle with obstacles. Often, underlying fears and negativity drive unwanted behavior, and I would love to help you overcome and find peace and stability. I am a trained EMDR therapist, and see great results in treating multiple issues. I work with my clients to reinforce the strengths already within them. I often see individuals who struggle with spiritual issues, depression, trauma, grief or anxiety. I work to help clients discover and heal underlying issues while adding new resources to their lives.

Successful children are happy and secure in developing age appropriate skills. These successful children get along with their family, friends, and at school. I like working with school age children to empower them to succeed in life. Some of the issues I work with include: anxiety, separation anxiety, depression, oppositional defiant disorder, anger management, low self-esteem, ADHD, coping with death, adjustments to divorce or a new baby, sibling rivalry, and school issues. My experience working with students comes from working with students every day in the school setting. Play is the language of children.

It isn’t random issues that create problems as much as patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. Hopeless depression, alarming anxiety or mental disorder cloud the present and the future. When our mental health is in disrepair and collapse feels imminent, setting a new course seems impossible. The pleasures and certainty of existence seem lost. Like restoring old furniture, it takes a commitment to revision friendships and family, or perhaps a job, until deterioration is replaced with a narrative of renewal. We can collaborate to help restore a confident, vigorous, healthy focus for an exceptional life.
