Life has a way of throwing challenges at us when we least expect it. At times we can easily overcome the barriers but for the other times we may need to reach out for support. Therapy can offer a safe, non-judgmental place to help us decrease emotional stress, better understand our past, and help us to develop tools to move forward. I'm a licensed Creative Arts Therapist with 6 years of clinical experience and specialize in the treatment of trauma, depression, anxiety and stress, LGBTQIA+ issues, identity and self-exploration. I strive to be genuine, developing positive relationships so I can be a partner in your healing process.

Hello and welcome! If you’ve landed here, you’ve taken the first step in seeking support for yourself or a loved one, and that effort should be celebrated. The idea of sharing details about personal lives with a stranger can be scary. Many people make the choice to connect with a trained therapist and end up finding value in having an unbiased person outside of their friend/family group listen, validate, and share helpful strategies. I have been practicing as a licensed therapist since 2016 and I find great meaning in being able to partner with people as they move closer towards healing and growth.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed or overwhelmed with an unwanted change, unmet expectations, or a significant health diagnosis such as cancer or a chronic illness? These experiences impact how we cope and live our lives. Healing is not always linear, but it is possible; finding a therapist that you connect well with and where you feel comfortable is a vital part of that healing. People can sometimes struggle to find a space that is just theirs to be able to process the good, the bad and the in between... but our sessions together can be just that. Your space and time to have a moment to focus on your needs.

As a therapist for the past 15 years, my expertise includes working with adolescents, adults, families, and couples experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, issues around life transitions, and family conflict.

I look forward to being able to help you reach your goals and have a fulfilling and healthy life.

I believe in the importance of relationships; the relationship you have with yourself and your relationship with others. I work with couples to improve communication, emotional/sexual intimacy, learn love languages, rebuild respect and trust, and adjust to parenthood. I work alongside individuals who are on their journey to strengthen their emotional well being, lessen anxiety, obtain insight into triggers/behaviors and unlearn old ways of thinking with new ways of being. I help individuals and couples navigate the emotions and adjustments to life transitions, such as a child, grief and loss, careers, and relationships.

When I’m in session with you I’m completely focused on you and your needs. Therapy is a special time for you to sort out your needs, wants and emotions in a safe way. I’m a Vietnam era veteran who has worked with combat veterans with severe PTSD combined with alcoholism and drug dependence for 22 years. Combat trauma and childhood trauma are frequently entwined within and create many life problems. Let me help you sort that out on your journey to healing.

Welcome! Come on in, I’m glad you’re here. The challenges of life can be overwhelming; the past making the present feel like less of a gift. You may feel stuck, like it’s impossible to move forward. Life transitions have a way of stirring up emotions and throwing you off balance. This mounting weight can impact your relationships, work, social life, and everything around you. I want you to know that you don’t have to face all of this alone. Together we can create a plan to help you feel better and achieve the changes you are seeking. Here, you will have a safe place to learn and to grow to overcome the challenges you face.
