I love working with people who are interested in building self awareness, feeling more empowered and finding their true self. I've worked with people going through transitions, e.g. adjusting to disability, discovering their sexuality, the coming out process and adjusting to being in college or entering the working world. I believe in helping people to feel comfortable living their truth, and learning to be compassionate with themselves along the way. I also practice using humor, supporting harm reduction and assisting people to make healthier choices, both physical and emotional.

Ready for a change? Navigating a difficult situation? Reaching out for help can be both scary and life-changing. I am here to assist people in healing what is holding them back.

Has your life lost meaning? Have you been feeling trapped, stuck, directionless, and utterly confused? I bet you've said to yourself, " I'm tired. I'm angry and I don't want to do this anymore!" Does this sound familiar? If so, I can help provide relief from the pain. You don't have to suffer alone anymore. I've been in the mental health and addiction field for ten years. I use my experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Clinically Certified Trauma Professional to provide help and support for individuals who reach out for help.

As humans, our natural inclination is to move away from pain. But at a certain point, we may find that the strategies that once protected us are causing us even more pain. Together we can find ways to break old cycles that are keeping you stuck in order for you to move into the wholeness you desire. Many times when healing feels impossible, it is only an indication that what we have tried so far will not suffice. Often this requires slowing down and trusting parts of ourselves that we have long ignored.

I wholeheartedly believe that because the majority of our wounds occur inside relationship, healing will come through relationship as well. In our work, I can offer you warmth and empathy as we gently explore the ‘why’ behind what you do while uncovering your strength and resilience. My work with clients focuses on grief and loss, trauma, relational discord, anxiety, depression, body image, life-transitions, adoption-related issues, parenthood and the intersection of faith and spirituality with day to day living.

Sometimes we come to a place where we realize the life we are living is not aligned with our personal values, purpose, or desires. There may be patterns that have served a purpose in the past, helping us manage fear when we have felt unsafe and haven't had the resources to effectively cope. While these strategies may have helped you survive, they may now be holding your body and mind hostage to the past. Together we can explore these patterns with the goal to help you develop personal insight, learn new coping strategies, and heal into a fulfilled life.

Life experiences can often bring us pain, cause us to question our world, and create obstacles that feel overwhelming and overpowering. Having someone to talk to who you can feel safe to share your story with, someone who will join you and help you understand your experiences and their meaning, can make a valuable difference. I help my clients process their past experiences, challenge defeating thought patterns, uncover their natural strengths, find self-acceptance and healing, make choices they can take pride in, and discover connection in a world that can feel isolating.

I believe the single greatest act of courage one can provide to themselves is to begin the journey to understand oneself. You deserve to have a space to unravel the tethers of shame, doubt, grief, unmet needs, and many other experiences in a safe and supportive environment.

I meet every individual where they are in their personal journey to improve their mental health. My goal is to help my clients meet their goals by focusing on developing a relationship and creating personalized treatment plans. There is not a one size fits all approach to mental health care. I look forward to meeting and learning about each and every individual I work with.

Navigating life's challenges can feel impossible at times, even if we find ourselves seemingly surrounded by support. Are you in the middle of a life transition, unsure of the next steps to take to help you move forward? Are you open to exploring past and present experiences in a judgment-free space, in the hopes of bringing you closer to emotional freedom? In my work with adult individuals and couples, I integrate mindfulness practices and various evidence-based techniques to help you (& your partner) develop healthy coping mechanisms, build self-compassion, and create a more fulfilling life.

It’s truly incredible when a person sees that there’s something inside them that they want to work on, and then they go after that. It’s incredible that you’re here, that you’re searching. The people who want to be the best version of themselves, who want to break “generational traumas” and work on their mental health so that they can pass down health, wholeness, peace, and light to the next generation - those are the superheroes. Our mental health is our foundation for how we relate to ourselves and world around us after all - Our God, ourselves, and others.

I truly saw the need for more mental health professionals in my community when I lost my father in 2006. Since that day, I began my journey of understanding the mind and how it works. We go through many major life transitions such as breakups, divorce, having children, new professions, loss of income, moving, pandemic stress and more. Most do not realize just how traumatic these seemingly “normal” events are to us at times.

Therapy with my clients is not just passive listening. It is focusing on what your words, body, memory, and subconscious self are saying. Then we work to turn that in to actions that help you reach your goals that make your life worth living. I want to listen to you and I want to WORK with you. I am drawn to working with clients who want to grow and are open to creating healthy coping skills and mindsets. I also bring humor, transparent honesty, and irreverence into therapy as ways to help shift emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

Our mental health is the foundation for how we view everything: ourselves, the world around us, even God.
