I opened Tranquil Solutions with a commitment to provide access to care for all individuals. Mental health is an important part of our overall health and I strive to provide a place where individuals can gain timely access to quality care.
I specialize in anger management, domestic violence and related mandated assessment and treatment, along with outpatient care for those feeling anxious and overwhelmed.
I am very proud of the team we have here at Tranquil Solutions. We are committed to doing the best we can for our clients and our community.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker/Outpatient Therapist
I have more than 15 years of experience as a therapist and I have successfully helped individuals who were struggling with difficult life transitions, medical conditions, parenting and relationship issues, grief and loss; as well as individuals dealing with the added challenge of living with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and past traumatic events. I work with adults and couples.
Life is difficult. Relationships are difficult. Everyone experiences moments when they feel completely overwhelmed and unsure of how to get their life back on track. Having an anxiety or mood disorder can make this process feel even more overwhelming. No matter what challenges you may be facing, therapy can help. My goal as your therapist is to gain an understanding of your unique situation and challenges. I will work with you (or you and your partner) to develop a personalized approach that will help you achieve your individual goals and feel in control of your life again.

Licensed Psychologist/ Outpatient Therapist
With over 40 years of experience in community mental health, I have worked with a broad base of clientele, including adults, adolescents and teens with varying issues and disorders. My experience includes treating schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, personality disorders, dual diagnoses, autism spectrum disorders, mood disorders, suicidal ideation, anxiety and stress. I have also had the privilege of working with victims of sexual abuse and with those who have experienced various childhood trauma.
My approach to therapy is predominantly cognitive behavioral and client centered. I believe that having a good connection/alliance with the client is important in the therapeutic process. I strive to create an environment where the client can feel safe to share, without fear of judgment or condemnation. I consider therapy to be a collaborative process in that the therapist does not have all the answers, and thus respects the knowledge base and experience of the client.
I have largely engaged in individual therapy with adult men and women. I also have enjoyed working with adolescent clients, mostly male, including mandated juveniles. Issues I can help with include (but are not limited to): Trauma, depression, anxiety, chronic stress, suicidal ideation, self-esteem, juvenile sexual offending, sexual abuse, spirituality (Christian), grief, anger management, psychotic disorders, relationship issues, codependency, family conflict.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker/ Outpatient Therapist
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with children, teens, young adults, and adults who are struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, or just not feeling good enough. Maybe you or your child have felt stuck for a long time, or maybe you find yourself navigating a big life transition. Regardless of where you find yourself or your child, we all need a safe place to feel seen and heard. For only when we feel safe, can healing and growth occur.
Together, we'll work to cultivate a nurturing therapeutic relationship in which we can explore your current struggles and challenges from a place of curiosity, compassion, and non-judgement. We will utilize tools from different therapy approaches, including Polyvagal Theory (the science of feeling safe on a nervous system level), Mindfulness, and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to cater to your needs and goals.
I am committed to my own self-care and reflection, as well as continual learning and growth on how I can best meet the needs of my clients and their support systems. We are in this journey of life together! If any part of you is nudging you to take the next step and reach out, I encourage you to do so, and we can begin your journey of healing and growth!

Licensed Professional Counselor/Outpatient Therapist
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has worked with children and adolescents who are experiencing depression, self-esteem issues, anxiety, ADHD, and/or those who need social skills training. I also counsel and support adults dealing with similar therapy needs. My passion is to be supportive and empathetic to children, adolescents and adults as they are challenged by different aspects of their lives.
I have worked as a school counselor for three years and I understand the struggle children and adolescents face in today’s world. As a student myself (currently earning a PsyD in School Psychology), I understand the stress of trying to balance school and life and the importance of self-care.
I view therapy as a collaborative effort and provide a non-judgmental environment and a safe space to make sure each client is comfortable to get the full support that they need. I believe that everyone could use someone to talk to and I enjoy “being there” for clients through all their ups and downs. I also believe that everyone has the necessary strength within themselves, but sometimes they just need guidance to find it.
I incorporate play, art, music, and exercise to assist clients with expressing themselves. I find that sometimes movement is helpful, and that some clients respond well to therapy
approaches such as CBT and DBT. I provide counseling services in person, as well as via telehealth.

Licensed Social Worker/Outpatient Therapist
(Languages: English, Spanish)
Hi! I’m a Licensed Social Worker & Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist providing in-person and/or Telehealth therapy sessions. I understand the intimidation factor associated with personal growth. My goal is to build a therapeutic environment through mutual respect, trust, and open-mindedness.
As a therapist, I use a relaxed, conversational approach to establish trust as the foundation of our working relationship. As things progress, I use a conversational and approachable style to support clients through their individual experiences, including their triumphs and trials.
I’ve worked with clients presenting with mood disorders, personality disorders, substance use disorders, and adjustment disorders in the clinical environment. Additionally, clients have presented with suicidal ideation, self-harm behaviors, grief/loss, family conflict, and peer relationships. I prefer to use an individualistic therapeutic approach by using a combination of practices to fit my clients’ needs & personality.
My ideal client is someone who shows up to sessions. Simple enough, if you don’t show, then I can’t be a resource for you; if you show up for me, I promise to show up for you. Together, we will uncover how you can actively show up for yourself and searching for a therapist is a perfect way to start!
I believe in equality for all and that love is love; I enjoy learning more about what I can do to improve the social climate. I watch True Crime & psychological thrillers with my puppy, Donut, or have my earbuds in to block out the world around me. Admittedly, I love scrolling through TikTok and sharing memes to get a good laugh everyday. Thank you for taking the time to read about me; I look forward to meeting you!

Change is hard. When you’re in the middle of a life transition, it’s easy to feel lost. Heading off to college or a new career, going through a divorce or a newly “empty nest”, questioning your religious faith or your sexuality are just some of the things that can make you feel like you’re not sure who you are anymore. Maybe you want to make a change, but can’t figure out which direction you want to go. We all need guidance at times.
As a mother of a trans child, issues relating to gender identity and expression are close to my heart. I offer a safe, affirming, and welcoming space in a world that too often is not. Everyone's story is unique. I want to hear your story and help you get to know yourself better so that you can find your own unique way of being in this world.

What is Life Coaching?
Life coaching is a wellness approach to life management that provides guidance and support to individuals seeking greater fulfillment in their lives. Life coaches help their clients in numerous ways, including improving their careers, relationships, and day-to-day lives. Life coaching differs from psychotherapy in that it deals with populations who are experiencing life dissatisfaction and seeking guidance with maximizing their potential, whereas psychotherapy addresses more clinical concerns, including depression, anxiety and trauma.
Life coaches assist clients with goal setting, identification of barriers to success, and decision-making, along with developing strategies for overcoming obstacles. By creating these strategies, life coaches target a client’s unique skills and gifts. By helping clients make the most of their strengths, life coaches provide the support needed to achieve lasting improvement.
There are a number of indications that working with a life coach may be beneficial for you. These signs include:
