I love helping folks that walk through my door feeling lost and unsure find their best, true self. I actively encourage looking at our learned behaviors that lead us to masking and hiding who we truly are to pass and "appear well" when inside it is exhausting and feels inauthentic. I provide collaborative and strengths-focused counseling to discuss and deconstruct whatever feels like it is limiting your growth, past or present, even if that thing is yourself!

We all get caught in suffering sometimes. We all lose our way and struggle with finding the next step. If you relate to that, I can help provide support and shine a light on the places that can change. I can help you reprocess trauma, navigate difficult relationships, and deal with Codependency, especially through EMDR and Mindfulness. We can also work to address the resulting depression and anxiety you face. Life invites us to move through the old, open up, and learn new ways of stepping into this present moment with increased strength and empowerment.

Has your child recently shared with you their gender identity does not align with what they were assigned at birth? Gender exploration can be exciting but it is often accompanied by emotions such as depression, anxiety, and grief. This may be overwhelming for your child and confusing for your family. If your child does not receive the support they need it could become a painful time for them both mentally and emotionally. Although statistics are stacked against trans youth, protective factors such as positive personal regard and a healthy support system will assist your child in remaining resilient.

My therapeutic style is geared towards assisting you to meet your goals and needs, while exploring your past and how it shapes your present. I have experience working with individual adolescents and adults, couples, and families. I typically work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, family dynamic issues, poor peer relations, grief and loss. I have acquired specialized skills from working with at-risk youth and families in group homes and juvenile hall, where my passions are highlighted. I believe all clients are the experts in their life and I aim to give tools and guidance to help reach your personal goals.

Therapy can help you optimize your life. The clients I work with begin therapy when they notice they are overwhelmed, overworked, worried about the future, and living with the pain of the past. It is exhausting carrying the weight of a less than ideal childhood, dealing with anxiety and depression, feeling unsure of yourself, and trying to create a life that feels right. It’s easy to feel lost and stuck. Therapy is an excellent way to get a handle on life and learn how to prioritize yourself in a world that teaches you to put yourself last, but doesn’t pick you up when you’ve given everything you have to give.

If you struggle with anxiety or depression, you know how difficult it can be to cope. When anxiety is at its worst, it feels like something awful is about to happen. Without knowing how to respond, it’s easy to get trapped in what seems like an endless pattern of worry and avoidance. Depression feels exhausting, hopeless, and sad. Motivation and activity decline, and it’s hard to believe that things will ever get better. Imagine being more active, skilled, and competent, communicating more effectively in relationships, being more productive at work or school, and feeling more satisfied with life.

Chronic anxiety, depression, and substance abuse are often symptoms of much deeper problems. Part of you is ready to start healing from the trauma that has interfered with your life for so long. It has caused so many broken relationships, fears, anxiety, depression, grief and pain. Even though part of you may doubt there's any hope, part of you really wants to try.
