I believe that it takes great courage to take that first step in reaching out for help, whether you are coming from a place of sadness, anxiety, loneliness, grief, or confusion. It can also feel scary to look inward and honor your truth and to let your "true colors" shine. Together, we can process and sort through the pain and help you find meaning, clarity, healing, joy, and connection.

The symptoms and sensations of post-traumatic stress, anxiety, grief, and depression can often feel debilitating, and may leave us bereft of hope that things will ever get better. My main goal and focus is to facilitate healing and collaborate with clients to carve out a path towards a greater sense of inner peace, meaning, and connection. I find that cultivating psychological flexibility and emotional regulation will often facilitate this endeavor and aim to guide and support my clients to this end.

I provide a safe, comfortable, and healing space in which to explore feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. I help individuals (adults and adolescents), couples, and families explore challenges, patterns, preferences, successes, and strengths. I strongly believe that greater awareness is the key to a personal growth. Increased awareness leads to acceptance (self and otherwise) and actions more reflective of one's values and desires.

There are times in our lives where we may feel alone, disconnected, and misunderstood. Often, we are not sure how or where to seek help. In our individualized society, it feels like we must do everything on our own. Just know that YOU are not alone, and you should not feel like you have to do it all alone either. Our subconscious thoughts can overtake our minds and make us believe our own “lies”, and even forget who we are. I am here to guide you and to help you take control of your life and mind. I will help you set realistic goals and overcome the struggles you may be experiencing.

Is this what growing up is supposed to look like? Thought I'd be learning how to love; instead, I've only learned to fight. — Cory Asbury. Have you found yourself struggling with inner conflicts, or feeling distressed and helpless in relationships with friends and loved ones? Ignoring our traumas and emotions only deepens that desolation. The forgotten child within us, left without help, cries out for healing. Therapy takes courage, and while it can be intimidating, I want to applaud you for taking this step to fight for yourself and for those you love.

Perhaps you’re here looking for a therapist here because someone told you, whether warmly or angrily: “You should get some help!” What you probably heard - and what they may have meant - was: you need to change. Unlike many, I don’t believe people need to change. The way I see it and how I work is to show my clients how to expand themselves - by adding in more useful and productive ways to think and act than they’ve done before. This results in my clients actually feeling better and functioning better. I work in a respectful and growth-filled manner, sometimes suggesting to my clients questions to elicit their self-knowledge.

I'm a therapist because therapy saved my life. Through that lived experience, and with education and training, I help clients improve relationships with themselves and others, exploring themes of trauma, neurodivergence, people-pleasing, OCD, over-achieving, and self esteem. My clients are thoughtful people who have done the best they can on their own and are looking for additional support. They seek to expand their perspective, to feel differently in the world, and want lasting change. Together we'll create that change, and I firmly believe in your inherent worth, power, and self-determination to facilitate the shift you seek.

Navigating challenges around sex involves more than what happens between the sheets. Sex is a topic that is often met with secrecy, embarrassment, or shame. These influences can impact our perception of what's deemed acceptable or “normal”. When issues arise in this area, the fear of judgment often keeps us silent, trapped in a state of quiet desperation rather than seeking help. I am committed to creating a secure and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their sexuality, reshape it according to their desires, and affirm their true selves.
