Hi! Are you feeling anxious, depressed, or a bit lost in these difficult times? Or perhaps you’ve been struggling with negative emotions for awhile? Life is full of challenges and often our responses are habitual. Therapy can help you identify and sort through “programmed” reactions and ways of thinking, and open up an opportunity for you to reframe and respond differently.

People seek out a counselor who can guide them--or their child--past their struggles to a better life. They want to get better sooner and stay better longer. For over 20 years, I have had the privilege of helping hundreds of adults, children and adolescents move past problems and achieve their goals --and to make those improvements stick. Some clients face coping with frustration, depression, anxiety, or relationship and family problems. For others, it's dealing with transitions such as divorce, loss and grief, school or relationship challenges, medical problems or job loss. And clients deserve great service.

I am an empathetic therapist who believes that each session can be utilized as a vehicle for personal growth. Within the therapeutic relationship, I place an emphasis on exploring past experiences that have an influence upon the present, along with navigating through relational dynamics that become present during the therapeutic hour. Focusing on these areas leads to a deeper understanding and awareness of one’s own thoughts and feelings, while helping to resolve the influence of troubling past experiences on the present.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe environment where my clients feel accepted as they are, while also supported in moving towards the growth and change they are seeking. I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults seeking support with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship difficulties, identity, and self-esteem concerns, among others. I have over ten years of clinical experience, working in public school, college counseling center, and outpatient practice settings.

I specialize in working with professionals who are experiencing distressing life events and may be struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or relationship issues. Often clients come to me feeling lost or not knowing where to begin. I welcome clients as they are; offering genuine warmth and a judgment-free space to help them gain clarity and direction. With compassion and respect for my clients' stories, together we begin understanding emotions, restructuring unhelpful thinking patterns, identifying solutions, and establishing more positive lifestyle habits. Often one small change can set a series of bigger changes in motion.

Selecting a therapist is very personal. People often hesitate to share their life with another person, even with a person who has chosen to care and help as their life's work. I am dedicated to helping each client live their lives to the best of their ability by developing a caring relationship in which to work toward mutually determined therapeutic goals. I believe in each person's creative power, while understanding that life can be challenging and overwhelming.

Huddle.care is the go-to online treatment community where individuals with anxiety and OCD come together as a team to lead richer, more meaningful lives. Huddle.care provides anxious sufferers an effective and accessible treatment community to support them showing up, letting go of what's unhelpful to them, committing to goals they care about, and reflecting on the changes they've made in life. It's a form of therapy where individuals learn to view and accept their internal experience-paving a path to relating effectively to those thoughts and flexibly choosing to commit to behaviors they value.

Life stressors can undermine an individual's functioning and ability to engage in day-to-day life, and I like to work collaboratively with clients to introduce healthier and more adaptive ways to view themselves and their world. I primarily work with adults that are experiencing anxiety, depression, adjustment to life changes, and those seeking to explore and change unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors.

We experience unexpected periods of loss, confusion, and pain in our lives, and sometimes we need a hand to move through them. Many of my clients are facing major life transitions, experiencing depression and anxiety, and confronting existential questions. I support my clients with empathy and honest reflection as they identify and reclaim their strengths, break the patterns that have been troubling them, and make meaning of their lives. I work to create a genuine relationship with my clients where they can hone their self-awareness and learn skills they can carry with them beyond therapy.

Many of us are not taught to prioritize mental health and end up unsure of what to do when faced with difficult feelings. Therapy does not need to be scary or intimidating. My style is warm and deeply collaborative. Together, we will set goals, continually make sure we're moving in the right direction, and maybe even have a laugh or two along the way. I am a lifelong learner. In therapy, I draw upon the latest neurobiology research to help you understand how what's going on in your brain and nervous system can affect your mood and behavior.

I specialize in working with youth, families, and individuals who are seeking guidance towards living a life of acceptance, understanding and stability.
