Are you feeling hopeless, tired, nervous, or struggling with uncertainty? Have your concerns fallen on deaf ears? I believe every client has the potential for change and that the first step in creating that change comes from within. I utilize brief solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing for individuals, couples, and families. It is my goal to help you resolve your problems or concerns by working together as a team to uncover the solutions that will bring clarity to your life.
ABOUT

ABOUT ME

ABOUT ME

Throughout the years I have worked with adults, teens, and families in exploring what are the roots to problems and how they can move on to happier lives with a greater sense of clarity and freedom. I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) which is a therapy that can heal repressed complex trauma.

​

I would like to help you evolve into the person you want to be. Through the journey of counseling, allow me to help you uncover and discover what brings you happiness and peace.

EXPERIENCE

With years of experience in counseling, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals and couples through various life challenges. I believe in creating a safe space for open and honest communication to promote healing and growth.
