Humanity thrives through relationships, yet these same relationships often spawn challenges creating various levels and types of mental distress. Mental distress leads to second guessing, criticism of self and others, even hopelessness. As a result, gaining a guide to support personal navigation through the situational dynamics are desired in order to gain insight and skills to be confident in steps forward to a better life.

It can be daunting to face major life changes such as death, health issues, divorce, retirement, relationship issues, aging, and feeling stuck in life. Successful counseling takes courage and commitment. Congratulations on taking the first step. We will start by you sharing your story of what is distressing you and what you want to change. Then, we will collaborate and develop a plan to address your objectives that you believe will work for you. I will guide you through the process to help you believe in your personal strengths, heal, and learn new behaviors that bring positive outcomes.

I take a person centered approach to therapy. I believe that everyone is unique and a "cookie cutter" approach is not effective.

Whether you are an adult or youth struggling with feelings of sadness, anxiety, anger, or have found yourself in a difficult situation and feel lost, you are in the right place.

I've practiced in mental health for more than 15 years and I still have the same passion I did when I started. I trust that part of the reason that I remain committed to this work is because I practice what I preach. I constantly have to remind myself that I can do hard things and I wake up every day manifesting my purpose. The most rewarding part of my job is watching you grow into the person you've set out to be. I pride myself on true social work values; which include integrity, ethical practices, and quality services. I have specialized certification and training in trauma and a long work history in family systems therapy.

I have been passionate about helping children, adults, and families since I was an adolescent. During therapy, I accept you for who you are and I appreciate and understand that everyone is unique. I provide an empathetic, understanding, and honest voice to soothe and support you through our therapy sessions. While I am working with you, I become inspired by seeing you break through barriers and grow within your progress by achieving the goals you set for yourself. It is a privilege and honor to come alongside you, as you navigate the uncertainty and pain that often comes as a result of individual lived experiences.

How are you really doing? My approach to therapy is being open, honest, real, and vulnerable. We can do hard things and I am here to support you through this journey. I am passionate about working with individuals, couples and families to assist with their goals for therapy. My approach is to empower my clients and focus on working through the pain and hurt while growing in coping skills and learning to communicate needs all while being effective. Life is hard and we can do hard things.

My ideal client is anyone who is in distress. I was struck recently by the assertion that all manner of psychological disturbance has its roots in trauma. With that in mind, their issues condense to navigating their life challenges in a relaxed body with intentions focused on where they would like to be, rather than where they are.

Working with a therapist can help children and teens learn how to handle past, present, and future challenges. Everyone is unique, so the techniques I use with individuals may differ, but one thing remains true: everyone has the ability within themselves for a great potential for change and growth. However, some challenges in life can cause this ability to be hindered. As a therapist, my job is to facilitate growth by meeting the child or teen where they are at and letting them know they are seen and heard.

I strive to create a safe and supportive environment for clients to come just as they are and process the burdens they carry. My style is empathetic and collaborative as I believe that a strong therapeutic alliance is crucial for successful therapy. I am committed to fostering a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can openly express themselves, explore their thoughts and feelings, and develop insight and self-awareness. My therapeutic goals are to help clients achieve greater self-awareness, emotional well-being, and overall life satisfaction.

Are you struggling with anxiety and stress, depression, or past trauma or abuse? Do you need support to move forward and reclaim your life? If so, you're not alone. Because I've fought through my own issues in therapy, I understand that it takes courage to ask for help. As your therapist, it's my pledge to be non-judgmental, present, and authentic as I join with you, support you, and provide effective tools and strategies for change.

Have you considered therapy for yourself or your child and did not know where to begin? Have you been wanting a space to be your most authentic, “human” self? Whether you have noticed changes in yourself or a loved one, asking for help can be difficult. Let me be the start of your therapeutic journey! My passion is to give my clients a non-judgmental space to find and express their most authentic selves by giving you the tools to cope with life’s darkest moments and maintain those coping skills throughout. I have worked with individuals who experience anxiety, depression, gender and sexual questioning, trauma, and low self-esteem.

I found my passion for counseling through my own experiences with mental health. Life is a tough journey, and no one is meant to go through it alone, though it can often feel very lonely. My goal and hope is to provide a safe, welcoming, non-judgmental space for you to process your experiences, heal your wounds, and continue to grow on your journey. Counseling allows you to process your experiences and feelings, which often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and relief from feelings of distress. Seeking help is a brave decision to make and I’m glad you’re here!

NOT accepting new clients - Counseling is a collaborative process where I strive to create a safe and open environment for you to share your experiences. Areas that can be addressed through counseling include, but are not limited to grief and loss, depression, anxiety, traumatic experiences, life transitions, interpersonal conflicts, and problems with self-confidence. As we work together through the therapeutic process, we create and work toward goals that you want to achieve. We will adjust these goals to ensure that your needs are met quickly, so that you can get back to the best version of yourself.

As a licensed therapist my goal is to make the counseling process one of comfort and growth. I understand that it isn't easy to make change, and it can be both difficult and painful to address an issue that is truly weighing you down. I believe in a holistic approach to counseling and am also trained in many evidence based techniques. I offer evening hours in addition to Saturday.
