I specialize in treating adults who are looking to create real change in overcoming the past and creating the life they desire. I utilize a supportive approach while being compassionate and interactive. I use a variety of effective therapeutic tools based on the needs of the individual. In addition, I have pursued advanced training in the Thomas Gates Healing Spectrum Method. This approach leads to a unique state of brainwave coherence which promotes a self healing response in mental and emotional areas. People often report feeling calm, blissful, and more joyful.

I understand that the decision to participate in therapy can be uncomfortable and daunting for many people, so creating a genuine client-therapist relationship and a safe space is a priority of mine. I strive to make the therapeutic process as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I view therapy as a collaborative process that is founded on the individual’s strengths and goals and respect that each client is unique in their experiences and situations. I am passionate about working with couples, and client's struggling with anxiety, personal identity, and helping to challenge and change negative thoughts and behaviors.

Not sure what you want to do with your life? Been there. Ankle-deep in your tears yet again from another disappointing relationship? Know the feeling. Unsure of your role as a person in a world that rarely recognizes or respects you? (raises hand) Maybe just sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? I got you! My education and training have certainly prepared me to handle many situations, but I excel at what I do because I have something to offer to my clients - real-world, relatable, personal experience.

Everyone's therapy needs are different! I take a collaborative, non-judgmental approach to honor those unique needs. I believe I have a responsibility as a therapist to create a safe, supportive, open environment where clients feel empowered to take an active role in their therapy process. When working with clients on concerns including anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, trauma, parenting, and work/school concerns I focus on patterns within and across generations of families, balance between connectedness and individuality, and increasing your ability to cope with and tolerate stress.

I get it! Asking for help is hard. Especially when you wear ALL of the hats- student, parent, spouse, friend, employee, boss. But that is exhausting having to make sure everyone else is happy and everything around you is running smoothly. You might find yourself worrying about everything else- and you forget about yourself. Then add a stressful life experience or traumatic upbringing to the mix and you find yourself wondering who you are, what makes you happy, how you are going to get through this, and how you got here in the first place. Things can get tough and I am here to help you through it.

Perhaps you’re overwhelmed right now and are looking for help addressing stress, anxiety or grief. Maybe you’re depressed and you’d like to see improvement in your mood.

You might even be noticing that your drinking has increased and that concerns you. In therapy, you'll get support in managing concerns like these. You probably want someone who is easy to talk to, who will listen to you and guide you, yet without judging you.
