If you are experiencing overwhelming circumstances, a flood of emotions, depression, anxiety, or conflict within a relationship, exploring empowering options can have a large, and lasting, life impact. Couples/partners can also work together in therapy to find more harmony in a joint solution. You may struggle with an eating disorder, or have become discouraged with multiple, and extreme efforts to manage food. I bring 20 years of experience, working in partnership with individuals and couples who are seeking relief. It is important to me to utilize evidence-based treatment methods, individualized to each person's specific needs.

Are you exhausted from living with substance abuse, sex addiction, or the pain of trauma? Does it feel like no matter how hard you try, nothing seems to help? Having an experienced guide to help navigate the challenges in your healing journey can make all the difference. No matter the trauma or the shape addiction takes (alcohol, drugs, sex, porn, etc.), healing depends on addressing the underlying issues and restoring connection to our bodies, ourselves, others, and the world. As you begin to heal, the need to engage in addictive behavior lessens, ultimately resulting in natural, lifelong recovery.

My practice offers tools to address individual as well as couple and family matters. I have developed strategies to address individual issues such as depression, anxiety disorders, panic, OCD, and trauma.

It is often said that dealing with the couple is where the rubber meets the road in individual therapy.

You are worthy, unique, and enough! You have the capacity to heal and thrive! An extraordinary and fulfilling life is possible for all of us! At some point, we may all experience pain. Our struggles and “stuckness” are complicated and layered. If you feel stuck and are yearning to be “unstuck,” we can work together. Being stuck can present as lack of meaning, feeling disconnected from yourself, having unfulfilling or unsatisfying relationships, challenges with transitions, deep dilemmas, mood troubles, and constant worry among many others.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in working with young children, teenagers, and families. Children and teenagers often express themselves through behavior rather than words, and I use a variety of creative, play, and activity-based techniques to connect with my clients throughout the counseling process. I believe that counseling should be individualized for each person and will tailor interventions based on individual interests and strengths. My goal is help children and families learn more effective ways to manage difficult feelings, improve communication, and create stronger bonds.

When you have anxiety, it can feel like your world is closing in on you. Your mind may never stop racing or you feel so worried and panicked that you just want to escape for a while. You have trouble sleeping and eating and you can't enjoy life. You may have reached out for help, but it seems like no one can really understand what it's like to constantly feel on edge and afraid... like your world is going to end.

I have a passion for working with trauma, phobias and anxiety, specifically sexual trauma. Using a combination of Rapid Resolution Therapy, Somatic Experiencing and brain science allows me to eliminate the emotional response my clients have to traumatic events. In a typical session clients are taught how the mind works and how to effectively take care of future stressors. My other passion is working with couples and helping them improve their relationship, both sexually and emotionally.Couples are taught how to use words and be aware of body response to decrease conflict.

"There is nothing wrong with you. There is something wrong with what happened to you." The ways we are treated by others can convince us that there is something inherently wrong with who we are. Trauma and negative life experiences teach us what to believe about ourselves and the world around us, but sometimes they inform us inaccurately. Whether you've experienced abuse, difficult relationships, loss, or grief, I would love the opportunity to join you as you rediscover who you are and walk into healing and wholeness.

I am in the business of being human with other humans. Being certified in Marriage & Family Therapy, I aim to provide an honest space where those struggling with relationships (romantic, familial, or social) can explore what authenticity and intimacy mean to them. Relationship issues, depression, and anxiety can tell us the lie that we are fundamentally flawed and unworthy. The reminder we need is that we are not alone in our struggles. I have the honor of being one person who says, “me too.”

Now offering face-to-face and telehealth (on-line therapy) services. Situations arise that can make life difficult it is during these times that challenges face us and changes are made. We become unclear on what life has for us and stress can be overwhelming. It can leave us feeling alone and empty. I enjoy working with individuals who are willing to improve their current well-being. It is not easy to take the first step or to work on things that are uncomfortable.

Choosing a counselor with whom you share personal and sensitive information can leave you feeling uneasy and requires courage. I believe if you are researching counselors, you are ready to make changes in your life. I would consider it a privilege to join you in this journey to pursue change and wholeness. I consider each client a unique person with gifts and strengths that can enable them to find solutions to their challenges.
