I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and paly therapist with over 20 years experience helping children, adolescents, parents and families. I am dedicated to empower individuals and help them tap into their Resiliency Skills. I believe that mental health is highly related to out physical health, diet, life style, relationship issues and trauma experiences. I am also a Parent Educator for parents who are going through adoption and are struggling with the process and I am a Trust Based Relationship Intervention (TBRI) Clinician and Educator. As a therapist, I am compassionate, empathic and invested in the care I provide to clients. Whether you are struggling individually, in relationships or with your children, I can offer some help and direction to your current life situation.
As a therapist I bring Evidence-Based modalities to therapy and a holistic counseling approach that is attachment based and trauma informed that looks at symptoms as a reflection of undiagnosed root causes. I have worked in private practice settings, schools and a hospital setting. My passion is working with children, adolescents, families, individuals and women. My focus in therapy is to build a strong relationship with my clients, understand their world and help them find solutions to their problems. I use expressive arts, EMDR, EFT and solution focused techniques that help people establish goals and find direction in their personal lives. I believe that our physical health, lifestyle, diet, sleep patterns and significant relationships in our lives impact our mental health greatly and emotional being. I can offer individual, parent-child or group sessions.
