Introduction:

I have been working with children, adults, and families for 14 years. I believe we all strive for connection in our lives and as we work together to find healing and peace during challenging times, I hope to help you feel more connected and grounded in your life.

Sometimes a person seeks out the support of a therapist because they are experiencing distress from everyday life experiences, at other times, our own life experiences have caused trauma that is impacting our current ability to function with fullness. I believe that if we are to understand our current thoughts, feelings, and patterns of behavior, we have to explore our life experiences that may still be impacting us.

As a telehealth practitioner, I provide a safe emotional space to explore and work with you through life’s challenges while you are in the physical space you feel most comfortable. With compassion and unconditional positive regard, I am here to help you work through mental health struggles, past trauma, and everyday life challenges.

I’m a certified Infant/Family clinical practitioner trained in EMDR and Sand Tray methods. I guide and support new parents and parents of young children through the learning processes and struggles they encounter. I’m knowledgeable with our local valley school districts, and I support families whose children are struggling in school.

Education/Qualification(s)

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a board certified supervisor.
