As a clinical counselor, my desire is to join you in the midst of life's journey and together, learn to navigate your life in ways that promote deep wholeness. This is created in and through our client-counselor relationship - cultivating safety, curiosity, and being truly known. Exploring your innate capacity to heal, we can hold space for your deepest distresses and create new experiences that lead to growth and transformation. I believe in working with both your heart and mind in ways that are unique to you, allowing your truest self to emerge.

Psychotherapy is for individuals who are motivated to make positive changes in their lives. Some individuals seek out therapy to improve their lives and to help recognize and remove barriers to a healthy lifestyle, relationships, and productivity. While others find that troubling symptoms of anxiety, depression, failed relationships, chronic pain, and loss are too intense to manage on their own. I work with individuals presenting with a range of emotional and psychological needs in a safe and respectful atmosphere. I respect and encourage individuals' motivation to change and help them develop their own internal resources to make lasting positive changes.

Throughout our lives, we've learned various ways to feel better or ease our pain. Whether it's relying on harmful habits like self-harm or substance use, or escaping reality through distractions, we may find ourselves stuck in patterns that no longer serve us. If this sounds like you, I'm here to assist you in relearning healthier coping mechanisms. Whether your pain stems from childhood trauma, biological factors, developmental challenges, dual diagnoses, or relational issues, I want to help you navigate your present in a safe way without feeling overwhelmed by the past, and guide you towards a brighter future.
