There are times in all of our lives when we find it difficult to find the answers we've been searching for, when our external world becomes so loud we can't hear that internal voice of wisdom. It can be during those times that a focused hour of introspection, conversation, and reflection can be helpful in finding the answers we've been unable to access by ourselves. My goal is to facilitate that search, whether the focus is relationships, life direction, grieving, or how to make life rewarding.

What We Do... Every person holds unique experiences, stories, and gifts. Due to trauma or other concerns, our experiences can turn into intolerable burdens. When this occurs, our thoughts can become negative, relaying disheartening messages to us. Overwhelmed, our minds and bodies become depressed, anxious, or hurt. Imagine, however, that our suffering carries meaningful messages. Through therapy that seeks to support and honor our life experiences, we can learn to express, befriend, and transform our uncomfortable symptoms. "In order to change what is, we need to give speech to what has been, to imagine what might be." Adrienne Rich

Choosing a therapist is often an overwhelming ordeal. How do you know who to choose? What can you expect from this experience? Being vulnerable emotionally often feels intimidating. At the root of it, regardless of their individual issues, most people are simply struggling to be themselves. The human condition yearns for authenticity.... to be the best we can be, to be known and accepted, especially by one's self. I provide a use of humor and a non-judgmental yet reality based environment where authenticity can be safely built at your own pace. You will then be able to realize the path that is best for you.

We can all use some support at some point in our lives. Whether we are going through a life transition, experiencing the loss of something meaningful to us, or simply feeling stagnant in life, just to name a few. Sometimes, the hardest part is recognizing we need support or realizing that it is okay not to do it alone. If you are reading this, you are likely contemplating getting that support or may be ready to start that journey! Either way it is a first step. That is great! My goal as a therapist is to assist the person I am working with to navigate emotions or behaviors that they may want to better understand or change.

The fact that you are reading these words tells us you have been attempting to overcome some type of life adversity. We often do not seek this type of help, mostly because of the many negative judgments that have influenced us since our childhood. It is these vary experiences, along with our own perception of them, that has caused and exacerbated the very symptoms we seek help for. It has been my experience that this history needs to be revisited, reviewed, and re-addressed so that we can overcome many of the chronic conditions that affect far too many in this world. “There is no birth of consciousness without pain”, Carl Jung

Counseling for Children, Teens, and Professionals. I work with adults struggling to navigate the personal and professional challenges that often come with high-stress, helping professions (i.e. Human Services Agencies, Business Owners, Medical or Legal professions, Leadership/Management etc). These positions may expose you to difficult and, at times, traumatic situations. Possibly even resurface personal, unresolved issues from your own past. You may feel emotionally exhausted, anxious, depressed, guilty, disconnected; like others don't get it. Like your own the verge of or even deep in burnout mode.

Welcome! I personally know that it is scary to embark on a new therapeutic venture. I aim to help you feel comfortable and able to quickly engage in facilitating the changes that you long for.

As we move through life, we are presented with many waves of stressors, challenges, and changes that may cause us to get stuck and feel like we are drowning in deep waters. My passion is to help people build skills to navigate their way out of a stuck cycle and carry those skills forward to surf the many waves that life may bring in the future.
