As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I work predominately with Adults 20+ who suffer from depression, anxiety, and other mental/behavioral health challenges such as low self-esteem, self-harm, emotional dysregulation, lack of mastery, low tolerance, suicidal ideation, and negative thinking patterns.

Are you a teen or young adult struggling to feel your best? Perhaps you've been feeling anxious, depressed, self-conscious, or stressed out and having a difficult time. I specialize in working with adolescents (ages 14-19) and young adults (ages 20-30) who are feeling stuck, having difficulty managing stressors, experiencing anxiety or depression, struggling in relationships, developing their identity, or simply want a warm, non-judgmental space to talk through your thoughts and feelings. If you're open to exploring all sides of yourself and are ready to start feeling better, please reach out, I'd love to support you.

I believe that therapy can be beneficial for anyone who feels that they are not living up to their full potential.

I provide therapy to individuals and couples as well as drug and alcohol evaluations.

More adults, adolescents and even children are struggling with depression and anxiety than ever before. Family, work, educational stress and the demands of every day living affect us emotionally and physically. There has been a significant increase in drug and alcohol use, behavioral problems, failed marriages, broken relationships, lost jobs and academic failure. Social media and the internet provide tremendous opportunities but also problems. In person and cyber bullying cause depression and sometimes death. Some of us experience severe trauma and develop PTSD. We can lose sight of who we are and and how to find ourselves again.

As an Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Specialist, I teach the Grief Recovery Method in both one-on-one (in person or online) and group formats. There are many myths about grief, and you may have heard that "time heals all wounds." In actuality, a wound can heal or fester depending on what you do during that time. I will provide you with the tools for healing with the time-tested Grief Recovery Method. Using a step-by-step format, this is an experiential, action-based program with homework assignments. I can help, whether your grief is due to death, divorce, or another loss.

I am passionate about helping couples and individuals grow and thrive, improving communication, working through trauma, and identifying and achieving goals. I understand that seeking therapy can be daunting, but there is hope.

In addition to therapy, I also provide clinical supervision to those seeking their LPC and LCSW.

What's important to me is working with others to find meaning in life, to help bring about a greater happiness that's shared. I believe it's possible to do this is we are able to understand ourselves better - we can then understand others and our connections become deeper and more alive.

I am not accepting new clients at this time. Are you feeling stuck? Or perhaps you are struggling with difficult emotions, distressing thoughts, or a sense of disconnection from yourself and/or others. Are coping skills that worked in the past failing to make a difference or are now part of the problem? I believe that therapy can provide a unique space to work through difficult life experiences. My goal is to provide you with a safe, supportive, collaborative space that fosters long-term change by helping you understand the underlying thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that get you off track.

Anxiety is our least-welcome companion. It holds us back when we try to take a step forward. It stands in the way when we try to connect with others. It convinces us that the world is scary and the safest place is our home. Anxiety wears many masks, but the best defense is learning how to identify it when it pops into our lives and combat it with a variety of techniques you will learn in therapy. Together we can chip away at what holds you back in your life and build strong coping skills that will prepare you for a successful life ahead.

I help moms in all stages of motherhood move from struggling and barely surviving to thriving. Motherhood can bring fear, sadness, rage, anxiety.

I see clients for other issues like generalized anxiety, mood issues, trauma, relationship issues, etc. I look forward to walking this journey with you!

Everyone has a story and sometimes their story includes twists and turns that can keep them from moving forward in their lives. That might be through turbulent relationships, use of substances or a loved one struggling with substance use, bouts of depression or anxiety that impacts their quality of life, a loved one passing away or their own thinking patterns that influence their behaviors. My role in working with my clients is assisting them with moving forward, finding new solutions or courses of action, and helping them build their toolbox so that they can cope more productively with life struggles.
