LCSW-R, EMDR Certified
(she/her)
No matter what background, it seems that everyone is searching for some peace and happiness in their lives and for many different reasons they have become stuck in trying to figure out how to accomplish this goal.
I specialize in ADHD evaluations and treatment for all ages, OCD and Anxiety in children, and EMDR for all ages. While I specialize in children and adolescents about 50% of my caseload at any given time is comprised of adults over 18.
Throughout my education and career I have focused on a specialty in children, adolescents and families. I was raised with a heart for compassion and understanding and a natural ability to tune into other people’s emotions. I would love to help you harness your own strengths and hopefully release any barriers present that keeps you from your goals.
Some things about me that might matter to you:
I strive to put my therapeutic beliefs into action in my own life and with my own family, which I believe leads to authenticity in my work with people. Perfection is not the goal; I am a whole person with strengths and challenges just like the rest of us!
In my spare time I enjoy gardening, walking my 3 rescue dogs (not all at once!) and cuddling with my 2 rescue cats and bunny, listening to music, reading fantasy or historical fiction, painting with watercolors, watching a funny show, and connecting with family and friends. I am a naturally curious person who loves to learn new things.
I’m a LGBTQ+ ally, anti-racist, earth-loving, animal protecting, meditating, secular therapist. With that said, do I always get it right? No!
I strive to put my therapeutic beliefs into action in my own life and with my own family, which I believe leads to authenticity in my work with people, but perfection is not the goal. I am a whole person with strengths and challenges just like the rest of us, trying to figure things out, enjoy this life and make a positive impact.
