Do you struggle with physical bodily sensations that control your life? Are feelings of chronic pain or illness, agitation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, or brain fog familiar to you? Or do you feel completely disconnected from your body, feeling numb or struggling to feel anything at all? You may feel as though you do not understand parts of yourself, but I'm here to remind you that you are not broken. You are a human being trying to live a happy, healthy life. From chronic illness to anxiety, depression, and trauma, I focus on mind-body work for providing relief and helping you feel whole again.

I offer individual and group therapy. My scope of practice has been focused around young adult men and women ages 20-35 and with Veterans of all ages. My main goal for treatment is to help you identify the way you have developed from core beliefs of yourself, others, and the world. We are all so much a part of our own norm that often, it is hard to identify unhelpful or maladaptive patterns and behaviors. I will help you identify whats sitting in your core and how we can focus on developing the positive; or restructuring the parts that no longer serve your journey.

Reaching out for help can be scary. I aim to make that process a smooth one with support and encouragement. I am a Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience as a therapist. My clients come to me with a wide range of concerns, such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, illness in themselves or a loved one, and much more. What I see time and time again that they have in common is a feeling of powerlessness. Whether it be over their symptoms, their family members, relationships and even themselves. I help them to understand themselves and their circumstances more fully.

I believe in creating genuine and authentic relationships through the counseling process. It is important to build trust, and I am patient when clients decide to take on this next step.

I see myself as the passenger where I am able to provide support and guidance, as well as new tools and techniques to assist for a smoother ride.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. My approach in facilitating change, wellness, and personal growth includes using a humanistic lense in therapy.

In our work, we will identify your unique strengths and values, and collaborate on envisioning a life that’s meaningful and authentic to you while letting go of who you've been told that you’re supposed to be.

I believe there is strength to be found in our weaknesses, love to be found through our pain, and light after our darkest days. The pain of healing comes with the self-awareness that otherwise may be over looked. When it becomes more painful to stay in our past then it is scary to step out of it is when the journey begins. I walk beside my clients, not in-front or behind. I remain steady and follow their lead. I provide the safety and hope that everyone needs to face their pain, to feel their pain, and to keep going anyway.

The pressure and weight of depression, anxiety, family strain, and stress ever wear you down and wear you out? Well I believe there is an answer and it is found in wholeness! It is found in the truth of who you are! The unity of the family system. The healing from the past. The acceptance of the present. The hope for the future.

My most important goal working with clients is to build a trusting and safe partnership. I hope to provide an inviting, empathic, supportive, and non-judgmental space to explore the depth of your inner truth and to help you actualize the life you envision for yourself. Together, we will explore past experiences, including family dynamics and your early life, in addition to thoughts, feelings, and current patterns of behavior to provide insight into how you can better cope with issues impacting you now. Often, we are more resilient than we believe we are - I'm here to help you harness that strength and find hope again.
