Many people are wary of the therapeutic process because of fears around being judged or facing the unknown. One of my important roles as your therapist is to remove barriers that feed such fears so that you can begin to authentically express yourself and experience the type of healing and growth that is made possible through the therapeutic relationship. I hope that through collaborative exploration we can find a path that leads you to a future of greater clarity and freedom.

An ideal client for me as a mental health therapist would be someone who is motivated and committed to their own growth and healing. This person would be willing to engage in the therapeutic process, be open to exploring their thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and be willing to try new things and make changes. Their issues may vary widely and could include anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, substance abuse, or any number of other mental health concerns. However, what matters most is that they are willing to work collaboratively with their therapist to identify and address these issues.

There is a strong connection between your emotions, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. By examining your current struggles, you can find patterns that can be changed for the better. Self-esteem, interpersonal communication, and relationships can be improved. I am a certified health education specialist who has focused on behaviors such as quitting smoking and controlling blood pressure. I have decades of experience helping people who are struggling to enhance their health and control chronic conditions. I have recently added Counseling Psychology to my credentials.

I work with adult individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. I provide a warm, collaborative space where clients can slow down, better understand their emotions and patterns, and move toward greater connection, clarity, and resilience.
I use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based approach that helps partners strengthen emotional bonds, improve communication, and break recurring cycles of conflict or disconnection. If you are feeling distant, struggling with trust, facing repeated arguments, or wanting to reconnect, therapy can help create a more secure bond.

I believe the main goal of therapy is to remove the obstacles and blockages that preclude us from being genuine. My approach is straightforward yet compassionate. As your therapist, I simply hold the mirror up and allow you to reveal the parts of yourself that have broken off over the years as a result of stress, trauma, depression, anxiety, and other unresolved issues. Together we mitigate the impact of maladaptive behaviors and search for answers that are more closely aligned with your goals. The answers to many of life’s problems are internal, but we have been conditioned otherwise.

I’m passionate about supporting neurodivergent teens and young adults, especially those with Autism, ADHD, and anxiety, as they navigate friendships, emotions, and everyday challenges. I know that social situations, emotional regulation, and feeling understood can sometimes be overwhelming, and I’m here to help in a way that truly works for you.
Traditional talk therapy isn’t always the best fit for neurodivergent minds, so I use practical, engaging, and evidence-based strategies to make learning social skills feel natural and empowering.

I help teens, young adults and college students navigate feeling stuck and overwhelmed. My clients often feel lost, misunderstood and alone when first coming to therapy. They aren't sure how to move forward with their lives and that feels defeating. There are so many different paths and so many steps to take, it's overwhelming. They know that they are ready for the next chapter, but aren't sure how to get there. Together, we can give you the clarity you have been searching for. You deserve to be excited about the future, not scared, and I am looking forward to showing you how to get there.

Trauma, anxiety, and addiction can make you feel stuck. The most important step towards healing is to address the unresolved emotion inside you. Healing requires feelings. Acceptance slowly dissolves pain. When we function from the fear and scarring of our trauma, the cycles continue until we learn how to transmute that energy into love. I apply a Holistic approach that integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual forms of well-being, addressing the “whole” self. Through a holistic framework tailored to your unique needs, the goal is to support you develop a deeper understanding of the self on all these levels.

People often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns they cannot fully understand, or disconnected from themselves and others. I am deeply passionate about working with people navigating addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, religious trauma, and relationship or attachment challenges. Some are hesitant to begin therapy, unsure if it will help, yet aware that something needs to change. Beneath these struggles is often a longing for relief, clarity, and healthier connections, along with a desire to feel understood, supported, and more secure in who they are and how they move through the world.
