Do you struggle with exploring your identity, past trauma, relationships, mood, or self-esteem? There are issues that many individuals struggle with and it can be difficult to face these struggles on your own. I am here to help. Together, we can explore these issues in depth and work to meet your personal goals. I use a trauma focused, strengths-based, and cognitive behavioral approach in my work with clients and am dedicated to helping clients achieve their goals to create a healthier mindset and lifestyle.

I build a non-judgmental and safe environment for you to explore who you are and create a life worth living. Our goal together is to heal wounds from the past, increase self-esteem and gain resilience as we walk through our healing journey.

Life can be difficult and at times overwhelming. Therapy provides a safe haven for individuals, couples, and families to express themselves without judgment. I believe that every person should be aware of his and her own strengths and weaknesses. Therapy can help to identify those characteristics, so as an individual, couple, or family unit your full potential can be reached.

One of the bravest things that you can do, is to advocate for yourself. This can also be one of the most challenging things. If you find yourself feeling stuck or in need of support, therapy may be the boost that you need! In my sessions, I aim to create a space that is both comforting and collaborative to facilitate support, validation, and grace. As a client, you are the expert in your life, and with some guidance and support, you are able to achieve the goals that you set out for yourself.

Change can be scary and uncomfortable and the process of searching for a provider can be an overwhelming process. I welcome any questions you may have and we can work together to discuss expectations, concerns, hesitations, stuck points, etc. If you are seeking healing and understanding of your anxiety/depression symptoms or past traumatic experiences you are in the right place. I offer compassion, patience, and a non-judgmental space to explore your healing journey.

As a therapist, I strive to provide a compassionate, friendly, and non-judgmental approach to therapy to establish an environment where clients feel safe to work through sensitive and difficult problems. I view the counseling process as a team effort where the counselor and client learn to trust one another, define and explore problem areas, identify future goals for an improved life, and develop a plan to achieve those goals.

An important indicator of success in therapy is the therapeutic relationship and the key is the art of listening - to what you are saying, but also within the silence. I believe that you already have the answers you seek and in collaboration with me, you can begin your journey of healing and find the sense of peace you desire. I have extensive experience serving individuals who have been struggling with co-occurring disorders (substance use and mental illness symptoms occurring together). My expertise also includes mood disorders, disordered eating, pornography and sex addiction; and enjoy working with adolescents.

I will show you how to make a positive difference in your life, whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, identity, trauma, or trying to create the best version of yourself. No matter your symptoms or difficulties we will work as a team to improve your well-being. My approach to therapy is tailored to your individual needs and desired outcomes. I utilize evidence-based treatments that include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and Solution-Focused.

Counseling can be a powerful way to improve self-esteem, understand family dynamics, strengthen relationships, and build an encouraging support system. I come with a wide range of experience, working with children in residential treatment as young as 11 y.o., through outpatient treatment to age 70. Often times, counseling is the first place someone learns to identify and untangle the traumas of their life to become the best version of themselves in the present. My focus is to understand the unique goals of each person and help them achieve those goals with compassion and patience.

I strive to create a safe space for my clients to explore and navigate the world in which we grew up in and redefine their story. Our mind-body-spirit connection allows us to cultivate a space where all parts of ourselves are welcomed.

My goals are to create a safe, supportive, and trusting therapeutic relationship with my clients to help assist them in their healing journey. We all have life stories that impact us and make us who we are. I strive to ensure that my clients feel comfortable disclosing their story. Together we will work to identify past and present issues, traumas, core beliefs, negative/irrational thoughts, needs, strengths, and determine specific tailored treatment goals. My passion is to be a continual source of support, advocate, and guidance through the healing process.
