I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, life changes, or childhood trauma. I enjoy working with college-aged students who may have some anxiety or concerns through this life transition. Many clients hope to gain an understanding of why they feel anxious or stressed, and how to overcome these feelings. I can assist in helping to quiet the noise, or even just provide a listening ear to those who may need to talk.

I believe an individual has the tools to live the fulfilling life they want to live and I, as the therapist, can help guide him/her achieve his/her goals. I create a non-judgmental therapeutic atmosphere and I make sure to listen to my clients. Throughout my years as a counselor I have had the pleasure of counseling individuals who need help with developing effective coping skills for their anxiety and depressive symptoms. I am also passionate about individuals who are going though bereavement and grief; no one should have to experience loss alone.

I offer animal assisted therapy! Animal assisted therapy can help enhance your therapeutic experience. Dogs have been shown to decrease blood pressure and reduce stress and anxiety. Everybody needs a little extra help sometimes and that’s ok! Whether you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, sexuality issues, or just overwhelmed with life in general, being able to talk through it and gain a better understanding of why you are feeling the way you do is incredibly helpful. It is my belief that as people become more aware and accepting of themselves, they are more capable of finding a sense of peace and contentment in their lives.

Perhaps you're seeing patterns in your relationships: poor or no communication, not setting important boundaries in your relationships, or avoiding conflict in your relationships which only makes things worse. You're not sure how to fix it.
