Life can be messy, overwhelming, stressful; and reaching out for help can be hard. We are here to lend a compassionate and empathic ear in a safe and comfortable environment, to help clients grow and develop into the best possible version of themselves. We have worked with clients of all ages and from many walks of life, helping them to find peace and growth. Our clinicians are skilled in working with a diverse population and strive to help clients obtain peace and confidence.

As a therapist, I spend time understanding the client’s goals and intended outcomes in therapy. The foundations of therapy should replicate the foundation of any healthy relationship, built on transparency, openness, and direct feedback so that when success is found in therapy, it can be translated more easily to the real-life situations that the clients encounter. My clinical experiences has focused primarily on children and teens. I conducted trauma-informed therapy in a residential setting conducting individual, group, and family therapy for my clients. I was also an established individual therapist on a college baseball team.

I am a passionate Marriage and Family Therapist Associate who believes in the power of relationships to heal and transform lives. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space for each client to explore their unique story, understand their emotions, and develop the skills to build healthy and fulfilling relationships. I work collaboratively with my clients to find the approach that resonates with them and supports their goals.

My primary focus as a counselor is working with individuals in transitionary phases of their lives to regulate anxiety, depression and trauma responses that can occur with change and other life stressors. As a mental health counselor, I strive to facilitate awareness of the mind-body connection. The impact of everyday stressors and past experiences on physical and emotional health is often overlooked. Identifying thought patterns and behaviors that impact your interactions in the world and overall feelings about self can help you to work toward living your authentic life in contentment and joy.

I strive to bring strengths and resiliency to all clients. Being human is hard and my wish is to help all people feel more empowered navigating it. Working with individuals, couples and families, I find myself learning from each. I enjoy the opportunities I am allowed in teaching each person skills and alternative coping mechanisms to deal with their past, present, or future. My only goal is that you acquire from me the skills and tools needed to change your yesterdays and make new tomorrows. If you are ready and willing to trust the process, I promise to guide you along the way.

It is crucial that our work be centered in your values, beliefs, background, and culture(s). We cannot fully envision where we would like to go without solidly acknowledging where we come from, and there is no homogenized way to do this. I see social justice and mental health as inextricable, and my work as a therapist is and will always be rooted in the values of accessibility and equal opportunity. I am a part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and am happy to support trans folx with gender affirming care. The best way to reach out is through email.

My passion comes from helping people grow internally as well as external. I believe in meeting people where they are and equipping them with the tools they need to connect with insight and peace. I strive to create a space that feels safe where this work can be done. I believe that each one of us has the capacity to heal and experience health and wholeness. I enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds especially those looking to use faith integration in practice. I also enjoy working with individuals who are struggling with depression and anxiety in particular kids and youth. I utilize a strengths-based approach in practice.

I truly believe we do the best we can, in the moment we're in, with the skills we have. Sometimes, we just find ourselves in situations that overwhelm us, or outmatch our coping, communication, or problem solving skills. Therapy can offer new tools and insights so that we can get "unstuck" and move forward. I will help you explore and build upon your current strengths, supports, and skills as well as help you navigate the changes you'd like to make for yourself and for your relationships. I value listening, exploring strengths, and gently challenging old habits that no longer serve you.

Life transitions bring new opportunities for personal growth, communication development, and emotional connectedness. I am passionate about helping my clients become their optimal selves through a variety of interventions such as EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness. I am a licensed Psilocybin facilitator per Measure 109. I understand the importance of self awareness, and believe increased self awareness leads to the capability and capacity to heal. Therapy can be the key to increasing insight into relationships you have with yourself and others.
