Humans have a biological need to feel safe and worthy of love. In a world that repeatedly invalidates sensitivity and vulnerability, it’s not surprising that many of us struggle to feel happy, attain goals and find fulfilling romantic relationships. Some of us turn to substances, while others over function. If we are parents, we may find that we accidently repeat hurtful dynamics with our own children. Suddenly, or not so suddenly, we find ourselves struggling with guilt, shame and hopelessness. I am here to provide a warm and non-judgmental space, so that we may explore the strength and resilience you already posess.

Significant disconnection and shame are intense and unfortunately common experiences people are struggling with. Sometimes, our emotions or body sensations feel intense or overwhelming. This pain may lead us to act in ways that are against our values or desires. Perhaps we act out sexually, eat excessively, or are avoidant of relationships. Regardless, these behaviors often further our loss of control, distress, hurt, and low self-esteem.

Are you struggling with daily tasks? Do you struggle with anxiety or depression? As humans, we all go through personal struggles or conflicts that derail us. I have found that meeting clients where they are at mentally and emotionally, as well as supporting clients through their struggles, have worked best when finding solutions and meeting goals. We all have stories to tell, to process, and to work through. Its important to find a safe person and safe place to do just that.

I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your challenges and pursue personal growth. Together, we'll work towards healing, empowerment, and authenticity.

Hello and welcome! I feel honored to walk alongside others to provide comfort and support during difficult or overwhelming times in life. People have done that for me, and it has been instrumental in my life. We are not meant to live this life on our own, and if I can help shoulder some of the burden you may be carrying then I count myself blessed. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families with a variety of mental health needs. I specialize in treating individuals for anxiety, problematic thinking patterns, depression, life transitions and PTSD.

Progress is a professional passion of mine. I listen to you & get to where you're at; I ask questions & offer feedback to help you discover your own solutions that will feel right to you. With over 20 yrs experience, I use little 'therapy-speak' but rather use my experience and training to have conversational style assessments and psychotherapy sessions in which we move forward in the direction you need to go. I bring a holistic approach to both individual & couples therapy where I draw on Cognitive Behavioral, Gestalt & Jungian, Trauma-focused, and Addictions therapies to create a space for growth.

Feeling stuck, burned out, or struggling with imposter syndrome? Difficulties in even one area of life leads to us feeling overwhelmed and consumed with negative thoughts. I'm here to help you feel supported and get unstuck. When one thing in life is going badly, we tend to feel overwhelmed and consumed with negative thoughts. I'm here to improve that through healing from the past, embracing change, identifying strengths that were always there, as well as gain new confidence. I use a variety of evidence-based approaches to therapy to clients grow through challenging seasons into confident people once again.

I’m an open and affirming therapist, always striving toward cultural competency while living into cultural humility. I see and honor you, the client, with acceptance and grace, while collaborating with you to facilitate the growth and change you seek. I can imagine it may not feel like it, but I believe you are ultimately the expert in your own life, and through conversation we can discover and uncover the answers lying in wait for you to move forward differently.

When my father passed away when I was ten years old, I saw my first therapist. I had no idea what was happening. I was unable to articulate my feelings at the time, so it was all very hazy. I realized as I began to come into my own that people gravitated toward me because I was easygoing and relaxed. As I learned more about the various demographics and pursued my studies, I became increasingly aware of my desire to work with those who lived with trauma, anxiety, depression, and the LGBTQ+ community.

I approach therapy with empathy, non-judgment, and support, helping my clients develop coping skills and make positive changes in their lives. I am a mental health therapist with over four years of experience providing school-based and outpatient services for clients from adolescents to adults. In addition, I am a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, having served from September 2002 to November 2006. With extensive knowledge in diagnosing mental health disorders, I create personalized treatment plans tailored to each client's unique needs and circumstances.

Life is a journey that we are not meant take alone. My approach is to walk alongside you to help address the goals you have. I seek to provide a compassionate, person centered, and warm space to allow you to address these goals.

Life can be challenging in so many different ways, and my goal is to walk alongside you through this wild ride. I have a passion for working with individuals who want to better themselves as a whole. This could be anxiety, depression, trauma experiences, or everyday life struggles that have become hard to handle alone. I specialize in working with teenagers walking through what being a teen can bring to them. I meet individuals where you are in life, while providing support, empathy, and clinical guidance.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and transparent. I use the skills and experiences I've gained to help clients achieve their own goals. Instead of curing mental health I believe in helping people understand and manage their issues in sustainable ways. Since I use a lot of metaphors in therapy, the one I use to illustrate and describe my therapeutic process is likening it to a home improvement. My job is to help clients explore and find the right tools for their unique improvements and provide guidance so clients have support while making lasting changes they want in their life. The toolbox can then be used outside of therapy.

Relationships are the fabric of our lives, weaving all of our life experiences together. Bonds of every kind can be challenging, and sometimes leave us feeling rejected or afraid. Out of a desire for closeness, we can sometimes cower or lash out (without knowing why). Let us work together to discover how to find (and keep!) healthy relationships.

My hope is to provide you the necessary tools needed to weather the storms of life. To achieve this, we will work together to identify personal strengths, build upon these strengths, and learn skills to enhance holistic well-being. My interests involve the treatment of anxiety and phobias, helping children that have big feelings manage their emotional reactivity and acting as a support for the parents, mood disorders such as depression, ADHD, and body-focused repetitive behaviors, such as picking at one's skin or pulling hair out.

It takes a lot of courage to open up to someone, when so many people haven’t felt safe. Everyone has a story that deserves to be heard. I am here to listen to your story. It is important. You are important. Allow me to walk alongside you as you unpack what has happened in your life and how to move forward. Maybe it is time for some self-compassion. I am happy to answer questions, and we can take it slow. I hope you will consider moving toward taking care of yourself, and call me.

My clients may be grappling with a range of issues, such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, or navigating life transitions. They might be seeking guidance and support in overcoming past traumas, managing stress, or coping with grief and loss. Whatever their specific struggles, my goal is to provide them with the tools, insights, and empowerment they need to navigate their challenges and find healing. Ultimately, my clients seek therapy because they have a genuine desire for personal growth and transformation. They understand that therapy can serve as a catalyst for positive change.
