Welcome and congrats to you for beginning this journey! Maybe it's for the first time, or maybe you've tried therapy out before. Either way I acknowledge how difficult it can be to start.

We don't need to have everything figured out, but we can work together to make steps in the right direction.

Being a human is hard. We live in a world of constant stress, anxiety, and pressure. I help people find their true selves and better live their values. I have years of experience supporting people as they cope with tough times, challenge negative thinking, and increase self esteem.

I've always had a strong passion for helping children and families through some of the most stressful and difficult times of their life.

Many of us have experienced hardships and suffering in our lives, and sometimes we need help. I believe psychotherapy is a space that can help by providing healing and comfort to those who need it. Many things can contribute to life’s difficulties including historical, systemic, emotional, relational, and interpersonal factors. In therapy, I am interested in how these complexities impact you.

As a high-performing professional, the pressure can feel crushing at times. It can seem like you’re constantly trying to prove yourself by excelling in a demanding career. I can relate–I thrive on being a high-achieving, Type-A goal-setter. I’ve faced my own fair share of imposter syndrome and perfectionist tendencies. And I’ve learned that when the pressure becomes too much, it’s time to take a look inward.

Navigating through life can be a rollercoaster ride, with no blueprint telling us what to do. Like a rollercoaster ride, life comes with many ups and downs, and curves in between. At times we may feel stuck or have exhausted all of our options, these thoughts are normal. My goal in counseling is to help you get unstuck and get you back on the ride we call life.

Life can be hard. You may be struggling right now. Your children may have behavior problems. You may be battling anxiety, depression, feelings of hopelessness, or lack of confidence. You may be a veteran dealing with military life issues. These moments are where I come in.

I would like to extend my invitation to you, and together we will work on bringing back the happier, calmer, more confident, and better YOU.
