As a therapist, it is my goal to cultivate a safe atmosphere that allows you space to explore, process, and grow into living the restored and whole life you were made for. I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey thus it is imperative that clients are included in the process of both goal setting and treatment planning.

Everyone experiences life struggles. I believe clients come to therapy already equipped with the tools and skills to make change and therapy is a tool to help accomplish that goal. I specialize in helping individuals with trauma, depression, anxiety and relationship problems. I've worked with adults, children, adolescents and families for 20 years, and take great joy in seeing change happen in the lives of others. I believe in a client-centered approach, which means you are the expert of your own life, and I am a facilitator in helping you accomplish your own goals. I also have experience working with other healthcare professionals.

My hope for each client I see is that they gain a better understanding of themselves and in turn a better understanding of the world around them. As a therapist, my role is to provide a confidential and safe environment in which you experience empathy, authenticity, and respect. I provide therapy services for teens and adults, meeting with clients in a one-on-one setting. I also provide therapy services for couples who are looking to build on their relational foundation and focus on communication.

I support clients in identifying their goals, building upon strengths and skills they already possess, learning skills to adapt to life's challenges, and making steps towards long lasting positive change. I strives to create a safe and supportive environment conducive to a collaborative working experience and believe all therapy should be based on the principles of unconditional positive regard and empathic understanding. I'm eager to help you achieve your personal goals!

Have you lost yourself? Do you often feel exhausted, disconnected or anxious? You may have become skilled at suppressing your feelings to appear content when real happiness is a distant memory. Your heart aches for more. More time for self-care leading to reduced anxiety and depression. More time to feel brave and connect with others, while learning to enjoy the social process and establish meaningful relationships. Deep traumatic wounds resurface from time to time, causing hesitancy and reluctance in fully embracing your true authentic life. You are brave, worthy and capable and you alone hold the key to reclaiming your power.

I approach therapy with a sense of curiosity and mindful intention. I honor the sacredness of the client-therapist relationship and invite you to explore your feelings in a safe, judgement-free environment. I believe therapy provides the ultimate venue for self- care and personal growth. I am passionate about utilizing creative techniques as a tool to healing and empowerment. I look forward to walking with you wherever you may be in your journey, encouraging you to listen to your inner wisdom, and working together to build the strengths and skills to live your best life.

I believe that therapy is a place of your own. Perhaps therapy is where you want to set goals and learn new skills. Or perhaps therapy is your place to decompress and let the sound of your everyday life fade away. I am here to help you reveal the answers within you.

As a counselor, I hope to walk alongside each client to facilitate growth and development in self-identified areas of concern. By working collaboratively with you in a supportive and empathetic style, I hope to challenge each individual into becoming healthy and productive. I believe that for real growth to occur, each client needs to be an active participant in the counseling process. By being open to self-reflection, hard work, and taking needed risks, the counseling experience will prove to be a rewarding one

People are complex. My goal is to help you find space for your many different emotions in a safe and comfortable environment. I have worked with a variety of client populations over the last ten years with the majority of my professional career being focused on crisis counseling. I have experience working with those struggling with generalized anxiety, depression, and complex life transitions.

Life is about more than surviving; its about thriving. Do you feel like you're stuck in survival mode? I'd love to help you overcome whatever it is you may be struggling with so that you can stop just surviving and start thriving. What does thriving look like to you? We'll figure it out and work towards it together.

Are you struggling, confused, depressed, or anxious about your circumstances and relationships? Life is complicated and I am committed to truly hear you in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I am a skilled, caring, compassionate, counselor who will give you exceptional care, offer solution-based, holistic treatment that gives hope for change, and uses carefully selected therapy to best meet your unique needs.

I have interest in working with adolescents, young adults, and adults who may need someone to be in their corner. I want to provide a safe space for clients to express themselves and talk through the topics and issues that are important to them. My ideal client is anyone and everyone who needs someone to help them handle the messiness of being human. Anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and trauma are all things that can leave someone feeling trapped or lost. I want to walk alongside clients as they navigate the path of their life.

The vulnerability required of therapy can be overwhelming. As someone who has personally experienced not only the benefits of therapy, but the support & compassion of a therapist, I can safely say working with someone who sees you as an individual can truly do wonders. When clients seek my therapeutic services, I don’t view them as having “problems.” I recognize them as individuals, stuck in patterns of behaviors no longer helpful. As an upbeat & energetic person, I provide a safe, open, & validating environment to facilitate change.

Congratulations on your decision to begin outpatient therapy. Every person has a unique journey that has made them who they are today. The path to healing can be overwhelming, however, the process is life-changing. My goal as a therapist is to support individuals, families, and couples as they navigate the intricate complexities of their lives in an effort to improve life satisfaction and self-efficacy.
