Treatment Approach

Everyone deserves to be seen and heard. When we take a moment to acknowledge this, it influences curiosity and openness. This can then lead us to changes that we are hoping for. I believe that curiosity, openness, and hope, lay the foundation and groundwork to yield a successful outcome in therapy. This new foundation will allow us to heal from the past, overcome adversity we have in the present, and thrive in our future.

Area of Expertise

My area of expertise is working with trauma ranging from acute, chronic, and complex. I have experience in working with childhood trauma, domestic violence, natural disasters, physical abuse, car accidents, and substance use. I also have experience working with anxiety, ADHD, bipolar, depression, dissociation, grief, life changes, and post-traumatic stress. From my experience, I have learned that everyone has the capacity, inner resources, and resiliency in them to change and heal.

Therapeutic Orientation

I believe that there is no cookie cutter way to approach therapy, so my style is more eclectic. I believe in using whatever is best suited for the client. I practiced from a trauma-informed perspective and some of the orientations that I incorporate into my practice include: Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family System (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered Therapy. In addition, I also incorporate working with the body as a holistic approach.

About Me
In my personal time, I enjoy playing tennis, cooking, watching movies, and trying new restaurants. I am passionate about working towards building awareness for trauma and remove the stigma of discussing trauma.

Imagine a ghost who is haunting a person when they are most vulnerable to take control of them. This is the way trauma shows up in our lives. It slowly reveals itself and every encounter is scarier than the previous. Furthermore, no one else can validate this experience because they cannot see the ghost at first, which leads the person to feeling alone, isolated, and vulnerable. I can come along side with you as you overcome this ghost. You can overcome your trauma in therapy with a safe and supportive environment to take on whatever it is that is haunting you.

Through the evaluation process, issues that are impeding growth will be identified and guidance provided for treatment planning as well as practical problem-solving at home, school, and in the community. Evaluations include a detailed report and feedback session as well as a thorough list of recommendations to assist the individual in progressing to his or her full potential.

Treatment Approach
Our most vulnerable and heart breaking experiences that we face in life also help shape us to become better parents, spouses, and friends. These experiences and struggles lead to enlightening and beautiful realizations about ourselves and others around us. I am here to offer support, guidance, resources, motivation, and acceptance to help you create a new outlook after receiving a mental health diagnosis. I believe that we can find ourselves in perpetual cycles when it comes to parenting and relationships, which can prevent us from processing the difficult situations that we face. It is important that we also reflect on how we overcame this challenging time.
Area of Expertise
I have worked with a range of clients including adults, teens at risk, LGBTQ, unhoused, couples, and families. I have over a decade of experience running nonprofit agencies for families who struggle with their child’s mental health. I am currently a Licensed Online Supportive Therapist at Aspire and work with a variety of clients, including neurodivergent children with developmental disabilities. I am also certified in grief counseling with a focus on healing & hope among grieving children, adolescents & adults.
Therapeutic Orientation
Reaching out for support can be scary sometimes. I am here to support you and help you process any emotions or feelings that arise after receiving a mental health diagnosis. I typically use Gestalt strategies that help us stay present and I use a narrative approach to help you process experiences that weigh heavy. I will not expect you to process experiences if you are not ready, though I am here to support you when you are ready. The goal for our sessions at Aspire will be to help you process either yours or your loved one’s mental health diagnosis. I will make every effort to help you feel equipped with tools in your psychological toolbox by the end of our time together.
About Me

Most of my free time is dedicated to my daughter. She is my world. My self care is running and watching a good TV show or movie. My family is my life, I love laughing, love food, huge animal lover and love watching my daughter break barriers!

An unbroken cycle is an obstacle to our own healing. Unless we break it with love, happiness, positivity and a little sarcasm we will never find our authentic self.
