Therapy is a tool that people can use to improve their inner state and overall life experience. Many people struggle with overwhelming feelings of anxiety and depression, often related to trauma, and this can negatively impact their home life, relationships, work responsibilities, and energy levels. Therapy provides a safe and confidential space where people can express their feelings and experiences and learn techniques for self-improvement, healing, and skills for fostering positive change in their lives. 

I have been in private practice since 2008 and am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am also certified in Somatic ExperiencingⓇ, Neuroaffective Touch Therapy, and EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). These are holistic techniques that release stress, foster inner growth, and help individuals process traumatic events. I also work as a certified mental health provider for the American Red Cross disaster response teams. My philosophy is that everyone can work through their life experiences and find an integrated way of being that balances mind, body, and spirit.
