I truly believe that therapy can be a transformative and rewarding process when facing the challenges of life. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment to encourage honest communication and trust between partners and family members. Curiosity, humor and understanding are often a part my work in therapy to help clients identify goals, create a plan, and work to make positive changes. As part of the therapy process, I utilize the most effective therapy approaches and techniques when addressing communication issues, infidelity, pre-marital preparation, intimacy, and family conflict.

Are you your own worst enemy? Does your inner voice say, "What's wrong with me" "Why did I do that" "I should(n't)..." "I'm not good enough" Together, we can find a different way to relate to yourself. I invite you to consider, when you learn to offer yourself love and compassion, you deepen intimacy, connection and respect within your relationships, increase confidence, achieve goals, and attract your dreams. Once we choose love for ourselves, everything changes! "Our wounds are often openings into the best and most beautiful part of us" ~ Richo

You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you're navigating a major life transition, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, struggling in relationships, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can provide the support and direction you need to move forward. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, develop practical coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change. I frequently work with individuals experiencing anxiety and chronic worry, depression and low motivation, life transitions and major life changes, relationship concerns, and LGBTQIA+ concerns and identity exploration.

From an outside perspective, you’ve got it together. But inside, do you feel like a bumbling cartoon character trying to keep your 27 hats balanced on your head while juggling 14 balls… ? Are you going through a life transition and feeling bombarded with stress, anxiety, depression, maybe some imposter syndrome? Does your inner bully like to smack you sometimes, or your past self sabotaging behaviors run across the stage….again? Life transitions can be overwhelming and daunting - especially if you keep telling yourself you "SHOULD" be fine!

That saying, "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger" -- I think it should be "What doesn't kill me makes me suffer." So many people feel unheard, disconnected, tired, worthless, fearful, sad, anxious and forgettable. They need the skills to nurture their resilience, to discern their incredible value. There's a loneliness in struggling. But I'm here to help you heal yourself with a new, creative perspective and find resources you didn't know you possessed.

You may look successful on the outside, but internally you're exhausted by self-criticism, perfectionism, or the feeling that you're never quite good enough. Perhaps you've spent years trying to meet other people's expectations while hiding parts of yourself to gain acceptance, avoid conflict, or feel safe.
Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, people-pleasing, and questions about identity and belonging. They often feel disconnected from who they truly are and trapped by the belief that their worth depends on achievement, approval, or fitting into someone else's idea of who they should be.

Beyond Counseling is a place to explore your true self and confront the trials of life. Together, we create a sacred space for healing, growth, and discovery. As a counselor, hearing your story is one of my greatest privileges.

You are not here because everything has fallen apart. You are here because part of you knows something needs to change, and that part was brave enough to look. Whether you are carrying grief, trauma, patterns that keep repeating, or a life that looks okay from the outside but does not feel that way, this is a space for all of it. Together we slow down, get underneath what is happening, and build something that actually lasts. You will not be rushed, and you will not be judged. Showing up is the hardest part. You already did it.

Relationship problems leave us feeling confused and bad about ourselves. You’re someone who has your life together on the outside, but still find yourself feeling anxious, on edge, and unfulfilled. You might even wonder if something is wrong with you. But you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to better understand why you feel so out of balance. You’re ready to stop overthinking and be more able to make decisions. Most of all, you’re ready to stop overfunctioning and trust yourself to create more fulfilling relationships (with others and yourself). I want to help you get there.

In my work as a therapist I bring not only experience but also cutting edge counseling techniques to my practice. I believe that there can be no more important life decision than making the choice to heal and leave behind unhealthy patterns. To help my clients reach those goals, I consider each individual uniquely and work to see each situation holistically. By working closely with each person and choosing the proper changes needed to achieve a positive outcome, we are able to move forward and devise a creative and distinctive plan. I create a supportive and safe environment where my clients can learn and grow.
