I strive to provide an environment for clients that is free of judgment in which clients feel safe to explore any issue that they are facing. My core belief is that all people have an innate ability and drive to achieve an overall state of happiness, comfort, and satisfaction with their lives. When given the tools that they need to move forward towards these goals, people will achieve the fulfillment that they have been hoping for. I will work with clients to identify any obstacles to personal fulfillment and incorporate evidence-based treatment techniques in order to overcome these barriers.

Sometimes changes in our lives and relationships can feel overwhelming. The good news is that you do not have to face them alone. I work with adults in calming anxiety, navigating relationship concerns, improving communication skills, and overcoming feelings of discouragement.

Accepting New Short-term (6-months or less) Clients. Entering therapy can be one of the most important things that you can do for yourself. I also realize for some people, it is the scariest thing they could do. My promise to you is that I will provide you a nonjudgmental place to sort out whatever you bring to our space and time. As an Adlerian therapist, I believe therapy is a collaborative process; it is two people working together to solve a problem. Therapy can be hard work, but I have a strong belief in the use of humor to facilitate the process and to sometimes just take a much needed break.

Individuals who may feel stuck in life, who wrestle with depression, anxiety, past trauma, and other mental health needs, are looking for relief, for hope, and for a new way of doing things. People want to feel heard and valued, they want to know that they matter and that their experiences are real. We all have an innate desire "to know and be known."

Has shame kept you in silence? Have circumstances robbed you of your peace? Are you struggling to cope with the stressors in your life? Do you feel like no one understands you or that you don’t fit in? Do you feel alone, overwhelmed, hopeless, angry, worthless, anxious, in constant pain, or out of control? Have you been hurt by people or systems that are supposed to help you? Trauma can shake the very foundation of our sense of well-being, safety, and belonging. And shame can hinder us from living the life we want and deserve. Whatever you find yourself struggling with, you don't need to suffer in silence or walk this journey alone.

Life gets heavy. There is no way around it. Even the most evolved, positive, balanced people get stuck sometimes. There is no reason why we need to feel stuck by ourselves. Therapy can be the gift we give ourselves to get through the times when things feel hopeless. It also doesn’t need to be used only when we hit rock bottom. Therapy can be used as a way to continue growing through challenging life changes, navigating relationships, and help you learn more about yourself.

Many people struggle to cope with strong/uncomfortable emotions. Learning how to "regulate" emotions is a cornerstone of mental and emotional health. God created all of us as emotional beings who also use reason and logic, not the other way around. As children, our work is to learn how to recognize, validate and effectively use feelings as guides to ourselves, our relationships, behaviors, careers and so much more! If you weren't able to learn these skills, it's not too late! I work with children of all ages, from birth throughout the human lifespan, and help them to grow and thrive.

My goal is for my clients to experience a clearing of the cobwebs from the past that are interfering with life today.

It is common to feel trapped by our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and we often struggle to identify the impact they have on our well-being until it feels too overwhelming to handle. This is particularly true for those suffering from OCD behaviors. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts and behaviors to better understand the impact they have on their well-being. I work collaboratively with clients to establish a plan of care that draws from evidence-based approaches. My role as a counselor is to be a partner in helping clients move through, not around, concerns in their way.

My goal is to meet all clients where they are at on their journeys.

In providing a safe place to explore the feelings of disappointment, grief, anxiety, depression, and addiction, current and former clients have discovered these temporary vices prevent the client from moving forward.
