"For over 18 years it has been an honor to bear witness to my client's pain, struggles, and trauma. I am always amazed at the resiliency and strength I see in people as watch them return to themselves in healing and growth.
What I love about counseling is that it is both a SCIENCE and an ART. We know of interventions and strategies that are proven to work...so I implement those. However, the art, shows up in unique ways, such as how language, images and personalized goals are used."
Treatment Focus
I offer effective, evidence-based outpatient, individualized, care to all clients. I specialize in depression, anxiety, process addictions, one-time and complex trauma, identity formation, family and relationship counseling. I advocate for a holistic approach integrating neurological, cognitive, emotional, and physical aspects of life in every treatment plan.
Patient Promise
It is my ethical and clinical commitment that implores honesty and diligence to your care. With few exceptions, confidentiality is kept and a promise to do what I can to help you heal, grow, and develop beyond your current struggles.
Why 'Emerald'?
Throughout time the EMERALD has been a symbol of TRUTH and LOVE, bringing CALMNESS and BALANCE. I see the therapeutic space as an embodiment of those characteristics as a conduit to growth, healing, and recovery.

Balance for better!
There is room at the table for all voices to be heard, understood, validated, and acted upon. People come alive when they feel empowered and when their life mission comes into focus.
In counseling, I work hard to find ways for my clients to overcome their struggles and craft new ways to cope and succeed in whatever reality they find themselves.
