The fact that you are seeking to connect with a therapist is a sign that you want to begin the journey of self discovery, healing, and transformation. Therapy is a process of self-exploration where you learn why you do what you do, as well as how to change behaviors. By building a therapeutic relationship, I can assist you in becoming reacquainted with your true self. With over 15 years of experience in working with adults, adolescents, families and couples, my approach has always been to meet my clients were they are and to progress at a pace that is comfortable for sustained success.

Our thoughts and feelings affect every part of our lives. They can often be guided by our trauma, anxiety, depression, or life stressors. My goal as a therapist is to work with clients to process and learn ways to live more fully. I lean heavily on focusing on the client’s internal strengths to learn effective strategies. I am guided by cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution focused techniques. My experience has given me the opportunity to work with all ages struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, and phase of life issues. It is my goal to provide the client with a safe space free of judgement.

I began practicing outpatient mental health in 2010 working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, co-occurring substance use, trauma and borderline personality disorder. Clients often want to feel better, and I enjoy coming alongside to understand what feeling better means for each person, what are their hopes and dreams, and how can we partner together to achieve those dreams. Sometimes, that means needing to heal from past hurts. Sometimes that means learning how to navigate shame, anxiety, depression that keeps one in bed, or anger that comes out in unhelpful ways.

Counseling with a healthy dose of sarcasm, swearing, and authenticity. We all know that life isn't easy. Everyone of us is challenged whether it's everyday life struggles, relationship problems, infertility, life transitions, or other mental health concerns. The strain of these stressors can build until you find yourself completely exhausted and overwhelmed. It takes strength to recognize that you need a little help. I'm hoping to help clients who are willing to be challenged, are seeking empathy, and are ready to make changes. It is my hope that clients can leave therapy feeling more centered and more capable to face life.

All relationships have conflict. What differentiates secure relationships from the insecure? Is your relationship a place you go to find comfort when life starts to hurt? When there is a rupture to your connection do you know how to repair and return to a felt sense of safety and closeness? Or do you feel the need to fight and protest to be heard or shut down to avoid a fight? Do you find yourself stuck in the same patterns, having the same conflict with the same unresolved outcomes that leave you feeling bad about your partner and yourself? Thankfully there is a path to secure relationship that is unifying and healing.
