No matter who you are or where you are in life, it has it's challenges! Don't go it alone! I'm passionate about creating space for you to be your authentic self while helping you take steps to live your best life. I provide creative interventions for youth (8-18), especially those involved in court services, school disciplinary action, foster care, or have had traumatic experiences. I also work directly with families to help create the communication and atmosphere they desire. I help adults find purpose and direction, as well as strategies for managing depression, anxiety, life's stressors and transitions. Everyone has a unique story, so I believe in flexible and individualized treatment. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, EMDR, Family Systems, Solution-Focused and culturally sensitive approaches. While I work with all walks of life, I also have a niche in working with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). I see you and would love to build you up and give you the tools to embark on life's journey. Give yourself permission to discover the best you!

Therapy should be interactive and dynamic and this is generated from focusing on a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach with a strong grounding in Strengths Perspective. A variety of issues to include Depression and Anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, men's issues, and personality disorders are areas in which I have particular experience in treating. The relationship between therapist and client should be one of trust and competence and it should promote open communication and honesty for change to occur. My clinical experiences began in acute psychiatric treatment facilities and have taken me through a variety of environments and populations to include adolescents as well as adults. I feel the therapeutic relationship can produce change through hard work and guidance as well as creativity and persistence. The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important foundations for change. The following information regarding Live Text Chat sessions is important ..please read over!!!
