Meet The Team

My main goal is to build a relationship with my clients in order to help them make forward, continuing progress. 

For children, I offer Child Centered Play Therapy.This allows the child to express themselves

 through play in a child friendly and safe environment.

For adolescent and adult clients, I use a CBT and person centered approach. CBT is an evidence based approach

that works to create healthy mental states by changing negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Life can get messy and complicated. We all need support during those difficult phases. I can help you with that.

Are you struggling to find solutions to your most pressing concerns? Do you find it difficult to communicate with others? Are you feeling bullied, depressed, angry, frustrated, or misunderstood? Are you struggling with understanding your or a family member's sexual identity? Have you experienced physical or verbal abuse and find the trauma is overwhelming you? Have you experienced thoughts of suicide? If any of these questions resonate with you, then let's chat a bit. It is my goal to help you identify and achieve yours!

It is my belief that one of the most courageous decisions a person can make along their journey through life, is to allow themselves to be vulnerable enough to ask for help from time to time. This is especially true when they find themselves stuck in a situation that leaves them feeling defeated or in some cases as, “less than”.

I also believe that we each hold the answers to our problems within ourselves, but that we occasionally need a little help finding a way to uncover those answers. I work with individuals, couples, and families. I also work with active-duty military, veterans, Law Enforcement, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and individuals facing domestic violence issues.

My specialty is trauma, especially childhood trauma, and clients that are ready to take the journey of healing are my ideal clients. If you have heard the story of the man that fell into a hole, then you will know what I mean when I say I want to be "Joe" that jumps into the hole with his friend and walks with him on the way out of the hole. Other clients I enjoy helping include children, families, and those needing 

help figuring out who they are at the core.

My approach to therapy uses both Bowen and Narrative therapy modalities. Bowen is about inter-generational processes that pass down through the generations such 

as how to raise children, how to handle money, taboo subjects, and other thoughts and beliefs. On the other hand, narrative therapy is about collaborating to re-write the 

story of your experience.

I have been loved. I have been helped. By so many others. How can I keep the love and help inside and not give it out? 

I invite you to reach out to me and find out if we are a fit to walk together through your mental health journey.
