ART

As a seasoned therapist, I specialize in guiding children 4+, adolescents, and adults through challenges that can come with anxiety, depression, loss of a loved one, divorce, sexual abuse, academic stressors, and family dynamics. My background includes working in an inpatient facility, which has deepened my ability to support individuals facing a wide range of difficult situations. My goal is to help each individual feel cherished, cared for, and safe so that they can experience the assistance and guidance they truly need.

I am trained to utilize EMDR, which is a tool that helps individuals process the emotions of traumatic events. When working with children, I also like to use play and art therapy to help them process complex emotions and make sense of life at their level. Additionally, I employ modalities like CBT, DBT, ART, and mindfulness to address various needs.

My clients find it easy to connect with me and know me to be a safe space where they will feel cared for. With this environment I have created, I have found that parents seeking help for children and adolescents experiencing difficulties in life are particularly drawn to me. I would love to assist you or your child in finding safety and peace.

For nearly a decade, I’ve been dedicated to supporting teens, young adults, and adults as they navigate anxiety, depression, and negative self-beliefs. My approach is to work alongside you in finding and nurturing your strengths while addressing and releasing the burdens from the past that are impacting your present. I’m passionate about guiding you through a deeper understanding of anxiety and depression, not just to manage these feelings, but to truly begin feeling more at ease and empowered in your daily life.

I am skilled in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Art and Play Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques.

I am confident that as we work to uncover the negative self-beliefs, we can create a healing environment to decrease symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other issues that may be weighing you down in your life. I would be honored to have the chance to work with you and be part of your journey.

As a Ph.D., (LMFT), I bring over 20 years of experience helping people navigate trauma, relationship challenges, addiction, life transitions, stress/anxiety/depression, & patterns that no longer serve them. Each of us suffers in our own unique way so whether you’re navigating a specific diagnosis or feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to begin, you can expect to be met with compassion, no-judgement, and respect. Your journey will include gaining deeper self-awareness, practical tools for managing your challenges, & gaining a clearer understanding of your emotions & relationships.

Our work together focuses on developing deeper self-awareness, tools to manage challenges, & building a clearer understanding of your emotions, behaviors, & relationships. I use an integrative, eclectic approach that blends many therapies tailored to your individual needs such as IFS, CBT, DBT & psychodynamic therapy to best assist you in your journey.

I'm committed to creating a safe, supportive, & trusting environment where you can process difficulties, reconnect with your authentic self, & move toward greater well-being. If you’re seeking a space to work on your mental health, cultivate healthier patterns, or feel more like yourself again, I would be honored to walk alongside you on that journey.
