Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? Are family or life difficulties leaving you stressed? Are you feeling burned out? Have you experienced trauma? I believe we all need a supportive space to be open without judgement as we talk through our thoughts and feelings and process stress. I'd love to help support you with these or other concerns such as relationship issues, job stresses and faith related difficulties. Working together we will work toward peace and personal growth for a more vibrant life through mental wellness, stress management and healthy boundaries.
I start with creating a safe trusting space, which is key to effective therapy. My approach is eclectic and collaborative. Those dealing with codependency, boundary difficulties, addiction (self or a spouse), depression, anxiety, high stress jobs, relationship difficulties or family conflicts are my specialty.
The decision to pursue therapy can be difficult and I commend anyone who takes this brave step toward growth. I like to spend the first session hearing your story, building therapeutic trust and developing a plan. I look forward to meeting you and working together toward achieving your goals. Please contact me to schedule an appointment.

I work with clients who struggle with anxiety and depression that most often stems from current and past relationship difficulties, trauma and life stresses. During the first session we will talk about what brought you to counseling, a little about your history and what you would like to see happen as a result of your therapy experience.
