About

I am passionate about providing a safe space for those seeking a non-judgmental environment to heal and grow. My practice is strengths based and I use a variety of evidence-based modalities to help people help themselves. What’s most important in therapy in my opinion, is that the client is the expert of themselves. I do not accept insurance and unless you have a referral or are court ordered, my client load is full at this time. E-mail is the best way to reach me.

Although all are welcome, I have two areas of specialties: One is working with adolescents who struggle with co-occurring disorders. My background includes working in a residential setting with teens and young adults who have experienced trauma. I Utilize Motivation interviewing and find authenticity helps in building a therapeutic relationship.

I also specialize in co-Parenting coaching. I have extensive experience working with divorced or separated parents, helping them establish a new relationship based on mutual respect. I am a trained mediator which enhances my approach which is more directive and utilizes skill building techniques around communication and conflict resolution.
