Finding peace in the present moment, is necessary. It's necessary to make good, clear, calm decisions in our daily life. It's necessary to live a fulfilled life, one that serves you. Peace is a word that impacts so many differently; but the most common definition is: "To be calm." My goal as your therapist is to help calm your anxiety, relieve stress, work through fears and teach you how to cope when life seems chaotic. I practice what I preach. It's important to take care of ourselves so that in turn, we can take care of others.
In my time as a therapist, I've specialized in working with children utilizing play therapy, I've served as an expert witness during court trials involving childrens trauma, turning to help teens undergoing trauma recovery, counseling couples, and moving onto counseling families in order to help resolve differences and work on communication techniques. Throughout the past seventeen years, I've learned to love the idea of finding peace. Not in the future; but right now. This is where we thrive in life; peace within ourselves, peace within our relationships, and peace when we look toward our future.
I graduated from Eckerd College, specializing in children and mental health. I went on to graduate from the University of Southern California, specializing in military and mental health. My reason for helping others is to serve those, who serve us and to teach you to become capable of living life with great joy, amongst any trial or circumstance that may come your way.
I've worked with persons diagnosed with anxiety, adjustment disorder, PTSD, MDD, Bipolar disorder, depression, dysthymia, Schizophrenia, persons with chronic pain and trauma. I use solution focused therapy, CBT, motivational interviewing and guided imagery to help you be your best self. I would love to begin this new journey with you as your therapist; helping you find joy and a sense of calm in your everyday life.
