I work with clients ages 15 on up struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and life changes who desire to improve mood and learn healthy coping skills. I have experience working with people on the autism spectrum as well as people diagnosed with ADHD, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. LGBTQIA+ friendly. "You don't have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you." -Dan Millman

I understand the importance of building trust in the early stages of therapy. While I am caring and empathetic, I am also honest and able to challenge clients to step outside of their comfort zones and learn new ways to navigate life's challenges. With children and teens, I utilize a collaborative approach and work with the parent(s) to help recognize behavioral patterns and put systems into place for lasting change and results. I treat adults for issues including anxiety, anger, relationship issues, parenting/co-parenting, family conflict, and stress management.

If you are here, I know that you have been worn down and are bravely acknowledging that you don’t want to keep doing the same thing. I want to welcome you to a warm, accepting space where we can get to the heart of who you are and the direction you want to grow. Whether navigating a difficult career, relationship issues, major life change, or parenting children with special needs, you do not have to figure it out alone. Together, we can find your path to move forward that will leave you feeling more equipped and like you can be the best you. I would be honored to be a part of your process.

I work with individuals who feel stuck in life. If you are feeling anxious or depressed that can be a difficult space to exist in. Hopefully, together we can identify themes and systems in your life that can be improved so that you can live your best life now. Teens and children are also a special population I serve. Many times they are misunderstood and may need additional assistance and support during difficult times. I am more than happy to serve and be of assistance to you. Call and schedule a free consultation today! I look forward to chatting with you!

I believe therapy is about helping people realize the greatest amount of happiness in their lives. This may be learning how to manage one's depression and anxiety, a child or adolescent managing their opposition and defiance, or even some skills to make a speech or fall asleep. I also feel therapy is key in processing daily conflicts that affect our thoughts and feelings, but also learning how to make the best decisions that we value.

At times navigating life can be difficult and feel overwhelming. My passion lies in walking with you to gain insight, understand and solve problems, clarify values, and find more balance in life. I value the uniqueness of each person, which helps build on your strengths, self-acceptance, and healing. I strive to empower you to be self-compassionate as you journey through vulnerability and discomfort to reach a more fulfilling and meaningful life experience.

My ideal client is not even sure that they want to stop using everything all at once. Maybe they want to simply cut down on their drinking or stop using weed for a while to get a new job. But, of course, if my client wants to abstain from everything, that's what we'll work on. Harm Reduction is simply a way for the client to achieve their goals without " complying" with the rigorous demands of strict abstinence-based treatment.

“We’re all just walking each other home.” - Ram Dass—All of us have traveled a path of challenges that have left us feeling overwhelmed, lost and scared. When faced with the fears and shadows that tragedy, change, pain and loss bring, we can become disoriented, scared, and despairing. Do you recognize that place, a landscape of shattered beliefs and lost identity? Reaching for light in the dark is a sign of your resilience. Come rest, be nurtured, and experience healing in a uniquely personalized journey, woven with an abundance of compassion, connection, warmth, and authenticity. Here, science and the spiritual and mystical unite.

You know what it feels like to sit at your kitchen table or on your front or back porch with a close friend or family member & talk the hours away? Some conversations bring laughter. Some bring tears. Some bring clarity. Therapy can take those conversations to the next level. You can expect therapy with me to be very relaxed. Put your feet up! Bring in your lunch! Check your phone! Tell me about your dog! Show me pictures! You tell me what is working and not working for you in therapy & I'll adjust. We'll move at your pace towards goals you set.

Do you worry? How could you not, the world is a mess! Worrying doesn’t help anything, doesn’t fix or make life better, if anything, it makes you feel more alone. If you have experienced severe anxiety and panic attacks, you know that it shows up in so many different ways to distract you from feeling what you really need to feel, and it can completely take over your life. In response to your worrying, you may emotionally eat or push down your emotions so far down that your lie to others and yourself by continuing to say, “I’m fine”. You have buried it under a lot of shame, guilt, and beliefs system that no longer serve you.

Is your family constantly on edge because of the daily arguing? Are you the parent of a teen that does not understand you? Do you feel that to get in touch with your teen you need to text or Facebook chat? Are you constantly fighting with your spouse over money, discipline and jeolousy? As a middle school counselor I have immersed myself into the lives of adolescents and know how to speak their language. As a parent of two teens I understand the challenges of being a parent and spouse. Are you ready for a positive change?

The healing journey begins with the desire for personal growth and a willingness to embrace change. Together, we can achieve this. The first question is, " Are you willing to take care of you now?" For most, this is a difficult commitment to make. For those who are willing, the rewards are immeasurable. Learning how to face problems fearlessly, improve work performance, develop healthy realtionships, or reach a state of peace and joy are within your grasp.

Clients who seek my services embrace spiritually-integrated counseling and therapy, which combines empirically-based interventions with spiritual resources in their journey of transformation. Despite the different reasons that bring clients to therapy, all of them need a safe space to unravel the problematic narratives of their lives, embrace the possibility of new futures, and learn new practices that help strengthen personal and communal bonds.
