Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed and tired? Do you want more from life and need help navigating life’s challenges? I believe therapy should be a collaborative, safe and trusting experience and will focus on tailoring our sessions specifically to your needs. In our work together, I will help you gain insight, learn coping skills and build self-esteem to hopefully have a more fulfilling and joyful life.

At times, everyone feels overwhelmed. School, friends, family, work, activities. While you've been working hard because it's what you've been told to do, overachieving and people-pleasing are not sustainable. Stress and burnout take over, and you find yourself irritable, tearful, anxious, and depressed. Soon, responsibilities and relationships start to be pushed aside, and it's challenging to tend to your own emotional and physical health. As a clinician at Patch Counseling, I aim to empower teens and adults by providing a non-judgmental, collaborative place to reestablish your voice, regain balance and rebuild self-acceptance.

Making the decision to seek therapy is a courageous one and is the first step on the path to change. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I recognize that you are the expert on your life and welcome the opportunity to work together to explore your needs, challenges, and opportunities for growth and healing.

I believe everyone has room to grow and improve themselves and their lives. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, sadness, trauma, or have concerns about your relationships, I've found working through that process together can be incredibly rewarding and empowering. My therapy superpower is that people quickly feel comfortable talking to me - helping others through their journey by using an authentic, non-judgmental, and open-minded approach to therapy is my passion.

At the core of healing and growth is a solid and caring relationship with oneself and others. I aim to foster this while addressing your specific needs. I honor each individual I meet with and take a uniquely tailored and collaborative approach to therapy. Pursuing your goals with creativity, compassion and humor can help make the "work" of therapy flow more naturally and comfortably. I can help you gain insight in addressing various aspects of your individualized healing process holistically, which may include expressive art therapy, nature therapy, relational-cultural therapy as well as more traditional approaches.

Being a teenager can be hard and being a parent of a teenager can be challenging. Knowing that we all desire for children to be emotionally well adjusted and academically successful, it is sometimes necessary to seek support. I am available to support your family through the journey of adolescence and can provide you with valuable information about your child's learning abilities and emotional functioning and tools to navigate the education system. You are not alone. I am here to support you.

I have extensive experience in guiding people to return to their natural state of psychological health and well-being. This state of equilibrium never goes away; it only becomes obscured through our learned patterns of thinking. As a practitioner of Integrative Medicine, my approach is wellness-based rather than illness-focused. Listening to physical symptoms can be very essential to the healing process. Creating a safe comfortable space I can be your guide to mental wellness. As you re-establish healthy thinking, you can tap into your own natural wellness.
