Life is a roller coaster; full of highs and lows, sometimes we need some help navigating life’s twists and turns. Creating a relationship with a therapist can be daunting and scary; the first step is often one of the hardest. As with life, therapy has ups and downs. My role as a therapist is to provide tools and offer insight. As I counselor I want each session to feel unique to you. I am trained and certified in many therapeutic modalities in order to provide the most tailored experience.

My professional experience includes four years working in community mental health which provided a lot of experience. Some of those years include working in Jefferson Counties school system. I work with children, adolescents, at risk youth, families, and individuals. I am trained in emotionally focused individual therapy (EFIT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). My approach as a therapist is person centered, strength based, with a focus on positive psychology. While I have extensive trauma training and experience, I also have training and experience working with depression, anxiety, ADHD, family dynamics, self-esteem/self-compassion, relationships, and life transitions.

Sometimes previous therapeutic experiences leave us feeling uncertain or wary. Maybe therapy is a whole new idea for you. Whatever brought you here, welcome! To help with these tough situations I offer a free, no obligation, 20 minute consultation. This consultation provides space for us to get to know one another a bit so you can make a more informed decision when deciding if you think we are a good fit.
