Are you tired of trying to hold it all together? Have you turned to alcohol, drugs, porn, or unhealthy sexual behaviors to cope? Are friends and family increasingly concerned? Are you fighting more with your partner or loved ones, blowing up in anger or simply avoiding conflict? Are consequences piling up in relationships, at home, work, or school? Or are you watching as this becomes the reality for a loved one? I am profoundly aware of the toll substances and addictive behaviors can take on individuals and families from my 7 yrs experience in addiction treatment. Therapy is a great place to start if you are looking for a change.

Everyone’s journey is different, shaped by personal experiences and emotions. I aim to create a safe and understanding space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. Together, we’ll identify what you need and what you're good at, then build a plan to help you overcome obstacles and live a more fulfilling life. Although, my experience spans through all ages, I have found my passion and purpose in focusing on adolescents and women.

My therapeutic approach is to provide a supportive and safe environment where problems can be explored and healing can be achieved. I use relationship-based intervention to meet clients where they are and partner together to explore barriers and create solutions to life’s challenges. I also use an attachment-based, trauma-informed lens to look at challenges in the context of a client’s life, relationships, and family of origin.

Beginning the process of counseling can be a very different type of experience. Allowing oneself to be vulnerable enough to discuss personal and sometimes traumatic topics about one’s life is not always an easy task. As someone who has been in counseling, myself, I understand how difficult it can be to take that first step. This is why I became a counselor. I understand that faith can be an important part of one’s life and am able to integrate concepts of faith into counseling, based on each individual’s preference. I also realize that some wish to focus solely on therapeutic concepts and want to engage you where you are.
