It’s only when we have nothing else to hold onto that we’re willing to try something very audacious and scary. -Sonia Johnson

I love working with pre-teen girls, smart, sassy kids (was I one too? I’ll never tell!) and also adolescents struggling with coping, trauma, and self-esteem.

I also enjoy play therapy for sensitive kids.

Play therapy can help because we have FUN while also dealing with life issues (which is a healthy coping mechanism itself!). I also work with young adults seeking more grounding as well as new moms trying to figure out who they are with a new little one. As a licensed EMDR therapist help my clients (little & “big”) to move beyond the aftereffects of a traumatic event. Please do reach out if you have a question about my specialties.

What’s the investment?

I know paying for therapy services can be a significant investment, but that’s just how I see it – an investment in yourself and your relationships. How do I know this? Because I see it with my clients every day, and I’ve experienced it myself (yes, this therapist is also in therapy!). 

Audacious Therapy works hard to prioritize the quality of care for each person I serve and utilize effective treatment strategies. My rates are based on my years in the field, experience, specialized training, and certifications.

The most fearless hearts, the audacious dreamers, have always maintained a sense of optimism that often flies in the face of the available evidence. -Martin O’Malley
