Meet the Therapists

Just as every person is unique, every situation is unique, and because of that, I strive to tailor the therapeutic process to the needs of my clients. My approach tends to lean towards person and solution focused, translating my client’s goals into realistic, achievable steps.

My top priority is to provide a safe and welcoming space where my clients can feel comfortable sharing with me their journey towards mental wellness. I find it to be a privilege to be able to collaborate with my clients in their aspirations to better themselves.

Let’s work towards turning those dreams into goals and those goals into a reality!

I prefer to take on a person centered approach and adapt my style to what is most appropriate for the clients that I see. I have been trained and have experience in several trauma-focused modalities as well as ERP for OCD. I have also been able to see the benefits that mindfulness can have for a person’s mental health and am open to exploring this with the clients I meet with. Whether you log on for our session or come in person, you have control over what you want to explore and talk about.

Part of the reason why I am passionate about working within the field of mental health is because it is a struggle that I am familiar with. Although, through these struggles I have been able to piece myself together and I hope to do the same for those that I get to work with.

You’ll be able to know who you are and what your identity is when you stand out in the crowd, and I would like to be part of the process to get you there!

I am a licensed and board-certified Creative Arts Therapist that practices from a psychodynamic approach.  I help my clients identify and process past experiences and how they affect thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in the present day.

As an art therapist I utilize various creative modalities such as the visual arts, creative writing, movement, and music, however, I am well-versed in traditional talk therapy techniques, applying CBT and DBT based skills into my practice.  Clients have the opportunity to employ creative therapies, verbal based therapies, or a blend of both.

I facilitate autonomy and decision making in sessions with my clients, encouraging them to lead the therapy session by choosing where they need to focus their energy and explore the therapeutic modality they feel is most effective. I am there as a guide, to help my clients navigate their experience is a safe, supportive environment.

I consider myself an eclectic therapist.  I incorporate knowledge from many counseling theories to assure my clients receive the best possible care.

I am passionate about what I do and strive to provide a safe non-judgmental environment.  I partner with my clients to help them achieve their mental and emotional wellness goals.

My personal saying…”we work to achieve and maintain our physical health by diet and exercise.  We achieve emotional wellness and mental health by attending therapy!”

As your therapist, I strive to support you in identifying your goals and how to meet them in a way that works best for you.

For some of my clients, therapy is about having a safe place to outlet and organize the things they hold inside. For others, it’s about active change through small, attainable steps. No matter what path you choose, we can each learn from one another along the way.

I believe in being open to new perspectives, finding peace in the moment, and using our pasts to help us build our future.

My theoretical approach focuses on a person-centered and strength-based approach, tailoring to what works best for the client. As a clinician, I develop client-centered treatment and deliver therapeutic counseling aligned to meet clients’ specific goals. I have experience administering CBT, DBT, MI, and play therapy techniques. My broad experience includes working at K-8 public schools, community mental health, and psychiatric/general hospitals.

I’ve worked with a wide range of populations struggling with anxiety, depression, mood, and trauma related disorders. My area of focus includes couples, family, and individual therapy from an experiential perspective.

I believe the therapeutic alliance should foster strength, a sense of empowerment, and self-development towards a better version of oneself.

One of the most important things I learned in life is that life is tough. Very tough. It takes courage and tenacity to be in this world.

My goal as a therapist is to provide my clients with a warm and welcoming environment where they can talk about anything they want and not feel judged. 

People invest so much of their time and energy into others yet people don’t invest that same level of care into themselves. Investing in therapy is investing in yourself and you deserve that!

I am a therapist who has been working in the mental health field for my entire career. I have gained much knowledge over the years. However, for me, successful therapeutic practice is not simply about knowledge. It is about connection, i.e., human connection between therapist and patient.

I believe I provide a therapeutic environment that motivates my patients to talk freely about the issues they find most troubling. I believe strongly in the power of the therapeutic process and have witnessed significant growth in so many of my patients.

I want to bring hope and optimism to those I serve. I am gratified to be a mental health professional.

I have been in the field of mental health for over 20 years with a focus of empowerment and managing anxiety and depression with the application of person centered coping skills for children, youth, families and adults.  I present with transparency and realness as a guide with an invested interest on the journey I am privileged to take with my patients.  I believe we are all experts of our own care but sometimes we get lost, we are uncertain of next steps and we need to be reminded of our strengths and to celebrate those strengths.   I practice with grace and pace, allowing patients to explore, learn and grow in their treatment at their own speed and with intention, purpose and genuineness.  A few of my phrases I live by….”slow it down, think it through and always do your best to be better than you were yesterday” ….now….Let’s Talk!
