TEAM NEW LEAF

My goal is to help clients reach a sense of understanding and compassion for their own battle with mental health. Through the use of positive regard, mindfulness therapy, and humanistic approaches, I can support you during your journey to health and serenity.

I believe therapy is a powerful tool to help us achieve our goals and lead fulfilling lives. My hope is to provide an accessible and welcoming space where clients feel supported on their journey of mental wellness. I look forward to helping each client develop the skills they need to navigate the challenges that life brings.

If you are struggling with social or emotional confusion and pain I can come alongside you and support you as you build resources and capacity to understand and manage your situation.

I am passionate about helping people find their unique value and purpose in life;  with experience helping clients explore physical, emotional and spiritual factors that impact their mental health. I believe there is always hope for healing, growth and even transformation.  I currently attend Moody Theological Seminary earning my Master Degree.

If you are a parent struggling with an emotional or behavioral concern with your child/adolescent or an adult who has experienced trauma, depression or anxiety I would love to work with you to find your own strengths and move past this difficult time to a place where you can experience happiness and fulfillment.

When human beings experience trauma or life stressors my great passion is bringing healing to people who have been through a traumatic /stressful experience. I help my clients, who include children, adults, adolescents and the elderly to find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can know themselves as peaceful, complete, whole and safe.

I  use a problem solving, solution focused approach, incorporating evidence based techniques such  as CBT and DBT. I also enjoy facilitating family meetings as part of a strategic and structural  model of therapy.

I work with clients to help them find confidence in their own abilities.  Through a strong sense of empathy, positive regard, genuineness and a supportive approach I assist each client in overcoming their struggles to live a more fulfilling and enjoyable life. 

I use patient, gentle, person-centered approach to therapy; across venues as private practice, community mental health and the justice system. Some of my specialties are CBT, DBT and sand tray.  My passion lies in social justice.  I have experience with court mandated, incarcerated and anger management clients.In my free time, you will find me enjoying the outdoors, exercising and loving animals.
