Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

After having my first child in 2016 and then the pandemic occurring, I found the importance of mental health services and providing those services especially to new moms/parents experiencing mental health needs as a result of parenthood and the trauma that everyone has experienced as part of living through a pandemic.

I have a degree in Social Work with a focus on family systems, sociology and human sexuality. Throughout my career I have worked with people of various backgrounds and with a variety of needs. I have worked with families and within a school setting with middle and high school students. I am looking forward to working with you. My passion has always been to help others with their emotional and mental health needs. I pride myself in being a great listener and by challenging negative thinking and working together, I anticipate successful outcomes and growth in your life!

I became a therapist to help people navigate life’s challenges and uncover their strengths. Supporting clients through their healing and growth journeys is deeply fulfilling. Seeing positive transformations in people’s lives continues to inspire me. My passion lies in creating a space where individuals can thrive and reach their full potential.

I hold in high regard the power of our mind. Our thoughts and perceptions have an immense ability to influence our emotions and our behaviors. The term "mind over matter" did not just come from nothing. There is definitely something to it. Imagine the outcomes we can achieve if we can effectively channel that power with a commitment to our highest values and actively change our behaviors to meet those values. Imagine the beautiful opportunities that lie ahead for self-discovery and growth.  I believe everyone deserves to find and experience the joy and fulfillment that comes with mindful living and thriving with purpose.

I have a passion for empowering high achievers like you , though a journey of self discovery towards a fulfilling lived experience. You’ve chased your dreams and found success, but it’s gotten to the point where you feel depleted, empty and your relationships may be in jeopardy. Perhaps you’ve been questioning what more is out there, experiencing an existential crisis of sorts. You know it's time for Change. You Welcome it. You're Motivated. Let's work together so you can finally experience contentment and joy in the life you’ve worked so hard for. Reach out to if you’re ready to embark on this journey. Schedule a no obligation call with me so we can chat to see if I’m the right therapist to guide you through. 

I have always had an ability to listen and to help people work through difficult circumstances. I enjoy listening to people and helping them to understand and utilize opportunities to transform their circumstances.

 It was a dream since I was 12. I have worked in the community, residential and outpatient. My life long passion is to help my clients feel seen.

Do you ever want to feel validated, heard, understood, and not judged by others? Some days it feels like you are alone and misunderstood, but it does not have to be that way. Based on my experience as a clinical therapist, I specialize in working with Teens and adults focusing on but not limited to anger management, anxiety, and depression, with a vision to empower clients to feel confident, assurance within themselves, and normalize feelings with reasonable solutions and coping skills to manage everyday life. 

In my journey in life, many have helped me along the way. Helping others is a calling. I knew early on that I wanted to give back and help serve others. People are inherently good and want what’s best; that passion in others drives me. 

Are you feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed? As a parent, are you struggling with your teen? Family issues? Let me help. I offer online therapy for teens, parents, and families. As a private practitioner & school counselor, I can help you sort through individual, adolescent, and family difficulties. For over 20 years, I have helped teens, adults, and families adjust to difficult situations. Research has proven that the most important factor in therapy is the therapeutic relationship. My main goal is to create a caring bond that will help you find solutions. You might feel like you’re stuck and nowhere to turn. Sometimes we feel like change is impossible, but I assure you that it is. I am hear to listen. (Replies are typically within 24-48hrs)

During college I developed a passion for people who are struggling. I found myself wanting to sit with my friends who were going through hard times and offer my support. Friends would often comment on what a good listener I am. Additionally, I began experiencing panic attacks and was diagnosed with PTSD during my sophomore year. I benefitted greatly from my own individual therapy. Through that experience I developed a desire to assist others in gaining wholeness and transformation in their lives. What motivates me to continue as a therapist is seeing clients experience restoration in their lives.

I work with adult survivors of early childhood trauma. I also work with people who suffer from generalized anxiety such as over-thinking and inability to control worry. Lastly I help people who are dealing with mild to moderate depression and have experienced grief and loss, low self-esteem, or lack of motivation.

I have always been passionate about seeing people overcome challenges, grow, and heal. It is an honor to witness the courage and resilience of my clients.

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Are you struggling with self-doubt? Are you feeling disconnected from yourself or others? Are you ready for change but don't know where to start? Therapy might be the solution for you. I help individuals like you navigate these challenges and find their way to more fulfilling lives. I offer a non-judgmental, trauma-informed environment where you can make the change you want for yourself. Upon your request, I can also help you address your concerns from a faith-based lens.

I've always been the person friends and family came to when they wanted to talk through something on their mind. So, I guess I've always been oriented to listening and supporting. I really enjoy the work with my patients--that's whay keeps me going.

I've worked in various roles throughout my life. I started as a performing artist. I grew and learned a lot from that experience -- as I have from all of my roles -- but wanted to explore other interests. That included corporate management and leadership roles for 18+ years and going to graduate school. Ultimately I've landed on my feet in a field that truly fits my skills, my passion and what feels like a calling. I believe my varied background gives me an edge in understanding a lot of different life paths. I offer that to my patients.
