When trouble arises in life, the emotions that come with it tend to be overwhelming, and it can be hard to find the words to describe what the problem is. This can block the decision making process and halt forward movement. Seeking outside help is a great way to solve this. There may be a lot of people who are skeptical about the role that therapy could play in their life, and I can sympathize. Whether you’re a skeptic, or looking for counsel, please keep reading.
My job will be to show you just how capable you are. I will teach you how to cope with negative thoughts when they inevitably happen, and help you retrain your brain.

I enjoy working with individuals who are eager to find new ways to meet challenges more effectively, particularly life transitions, healing from trauma, and recovery from anxiety, insomnia, and stress. Treatment is often short-term, focused on a few central goals, and aimed at increasing both individual well-being and interpersonal effectiveness. Often the work involves cultivation of mindful awareness, compassion, non-judgment, and kindness. In a collaborative, respective process, we learn when change-oriented skill-building is needed and when acceptance-oriented skill-building is called for to enhance the client's well-being.

We are all searching for something and we are all on a journey. Some of us are trying to make our way toward a more complete and genuine sense of self and identity. Many of us struggle to utilize positive coping to deal with previous challenges and future obstacles. Others of us are young, experiencing intense emotions, and do not know how to handle them. Some of us are parents who genuinely want to be more calm and peaceful around our kids. And there are also many of us who are facing big life changes, feeling unprepared for what we will find on the road ahead. All of us need an experienced and supportive guide along the way.

It is my goal as a therapist to break the stigma of therapy. Some still believe that only “broken people” seek therapy and I am here to tell you that is not true! Seeking therapy is NOT a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength! We, as humans, were created for connection and expression, and the therapy room is simply a safe space for that to occur. Whether you are dealing with fear, loss, uncertainty or just need someone to talk too, I am here. There is no issue that is too big to bring in the room!

It's hard to be a human sometimes, isn't it? Trauma, stress, anxiety, grief, and pain can overshadow the joy and peace our hearts and minds long for.

I'm no stranger to life’s challenges but wholeheartedly believe it is still possible to find hope and healing even in our most difficult seasons. My passion is to companion with clients as they learn new skills, develop resilience, reclaim wholeness, and pursue a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
