I believe that we are all on our own journey through life and that the right journey for one person isn't necessarily the right journey for another. My job as a counselor isn't to tell you which one to take; it's to help you remove the roadblocks from your journey in an effort to make your choices in the future clearer for you. In order for counseling to be successful, the counselor and the client need to have a good connection to each other, and I strive to begin forming that connection from the very first meeting. I've worked with a wide variety of clients. Contact me and lets see how we can work together.

Congratulations on a first step towards getting help for yourself or your family. I specialize in Relationships, Complex Trauma, and ADHD across the lifespan. You may be experiencing slipping work/academic performance or relationship conflict related to anxiety, depressed mood and low motivation, cycles of stress and depletion, distractibility, or anger from unresolved trauma. My approach begins with listening. You have feelings to share, a story to tell, or persistent challenge you can’t seem to overcome. I’m here to provide a safe, validating place to process your experience, and some unique ways of exploring your emotional world.

Do you feel misunderstood, marginalized, or like they don't fit in? My ideal client is someone seeking a therapist who understands the complexities of identity, trauma, and neurodiversity. They might be grappling with questions of self, navigating the aftermath of religious trauma, managing the challenges of PTSD or complex trauma. They could be exploring their identity related to race, gender, sexuality, or spirituality, or perhaps navigating the unique experiences of being autistic or having ADHD. They may be in college or emerging adulthood, facing life transitions, or exploring non-traditional relationship dynamics.

Sometimes our lives can feel really hard. You wish things were different for you, sensing a huge gap between where your life is and where you want it to be. You are dealing with challenging situations, feeling overwhelmed and unsure what to do next or how to manage. You feel lonely, sad, or anxious, and just don’t want to feel this way anymore. All of this leaves you feeling hopeless and in need of relief. It all just feels like too much sometimes and you desperately want to feel better.

Do you feel hopeless and helpless? Are you feeling overwhelmed with depressive and anxious thoughts? Do you find it difficult to communicate with your loved ones? Do you feel judged and misunderstood? If your answer is “yes” to any of these questions, it might be beneficial for you to reach out for help and talk about your thoughts and feelings. I would be more than happy to be the person to be present with you and provide you nonjudgmental ears to process your feelings.

I see people dealing with anxiety, anger, and/or self-doubt. My approach is to help you understand your mind better to reduce your suffering and move you forward toward what matters most to you. Think of it as getting an owner's manual to the most important piece of equipment you own: your mind.
At times, your mind can become a surprisingly unhelpful companion. Thoughtful, capable people can find themselves stuck in patterns of overthinking, self-doubt, or emotional reactivity, especially under stress. Your mind is usually trying to help, but it can end up pulling you off course, even when it’s trying to protect you.

My goal throughout our time together is to first create a space where the client feels comfortable and empowered to explore his/her emotions. In doing so, I help individuals identify the things that are most affecting their mental health and work collaboratively with clients to develop healthy habits that will positively affect one’s life. Sessions will include talk-therapy, reflection, and the development of healthy coping skills using a client-centered model. I hope to make each client feel as though their mental health is a priority and that they are worthy of clarity and happiness.
