I am a licensed professional counselor and school psychologist.I work with preteens (11-12), teenagers, and adults with anxiety, depression and other mood disorders. I also work with preteens, teenagers and adults that have specific needs for executive functioning support, emotional self-regulation, and interpersonal relationship skill building. In addition to these services, I support adult victims of racial discrimination and treat racial trauma.
I am eclectic in my therapeutic approach and will integrate techniques from CBT, DBT,ACT and art therapy into treatment. I have extensive experience working with individuals who have been identified as being gifted and or having a disability. I cover the full gamut of individuals with exceptionalities. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationship difficulty, emotional dysregulation, poor stress management, and executive functioning problems.
My focus in therapy is to develop a transformative relationship where you can reclaim well-being with affirmation and acceptance. I have been working in mental health for 24 years. I enjoy supporting individuals in reaching their full potential and truly having whole well being. I believe all individuals should have optimal health and well being. Mental health is truly my calling and I am passionate about the work.

I collaboratively work with clients using an ACT framework of examining whether clients goals are in line with their values, beliefs and identity.
I take the time in our first session to carefully listen to your story. I want to make sure I understand your needs, desires, and reasons for therapy. I also want to learn about your history and take the time to carefully develop rapport. Therapy is about relationship and connection. It is critical that I take the time to build a safe space for you so you know you are in a place to begin to heal. It is important that you know I am here to help assist you on the journey to healing and I will be with you every step of the way.
