My clients are often emotionally aware people who still feel stuck in the same painful patterns. They may struggle with anxiety, people pleasing, overthinking, conflict avoidance, relationship disconnection, or feeling lost in the needs of others. Many are exhausted from trying to “keep the peace” while quietly disconnecting from themselves. My approach is warm, honest, direct, relational, and solution-focused. Together, we identify the patterns keeping you stuck and build practical tools for healthier communication, self-trust, emotional connection, and lasting change.

I believe in continually seeking training to better my skills and am Certified in Eagala Equine Therapy, EMDR Complex Trauma Advanced training including Dissociation, DBT with Marsha Linehan, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) basic and advanced training for Adults, Adolescents and Trauma
Anxiety, depression and self critical thoughts can take the joy from our lives and leave us feeling hopeless and alone. We want to move through the world with confidence while living a life of purpose but are often overwhelmed and feel stuck. Goals go unmet, and our world becomes smaller as we resist challenges in our social life, school and career, out of fear and discomfort. We want to have more friends, do well in school and have a satisfying job or family life. We want to be happy and fulfilled. Our relationship with food may be unhealthy and we may feel suicidal or compelled to self harm. Life feels hard.

I enjoy working with adults and adolescents and have worked with a variety of issues such as: anxiety/fears, depression, divorce, grief & loss, PTSD, self-esteem, suicidal ideation and family conflict.
It is important to find a counselor that is a good fit for you. While techniques, coping skills and tools have their place, I believe it is the relationship and trust built between the client and the counselor that are the main pathway in achieving insight and change. I would like to help you learn new and healthier ways to view your circumstance and to face the difficult times.

The clients I support are complex and have lived individual lives. They have faced their own experiences, and just need a hand exploring their depression, anxiety, ADHD, self-esteem challenges, attachment insecurities, and anything else that weighs heavily for them. In many cases, my clients want to repair relationships within their families and their communities, and must overcome other barriers in order to have healthy relationships.

Traumatic life experiences can affect us in ways that are challenging to heal from, and those experiences can leave us feeling stuck and powerless to overcome. Not only can they damage us deeply, they can also damage our relationships. I am dedicated to helping my clients heal from damaging or traumatic life experiences, and to find freedom from barriers that can hinder the healing process. My expertise includes advanced training in traumatic stress, including survivors of sexual abuse, domestic abuse, ritualistic abuse, and emotional and spiritual abuse, depression, anxiety, marriage and couples counseling.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, parenting issues, stress, and school or relationship challenges.
You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. For some, that looks like anxiety that won’t quiet down, stress that feels constant, or emotions that are hard to manage. For others, it shows up in their child, behavior changes, school struggles, or emotional ups and downs that leave you feeling worried and unsure how to help. Whether you’re reaching out for yourself or your child, it often starts with the sense that something isn’t working and it’s time for support.

My passion is working alongside trauma survivors of all ages as they heal, understand previously learned patterns, and rewrite new ones. It's important to me that you feel seen and in control on your healing journey. I do this through a collaborative approach to exploring the feelings in your body as well as the thoughts in your mind.

As we transition from our childhood into adulthood, we start to look at different ways to strengthen our relationships, enhance our communication, set effective boundaries, and improve our self-esteem. As we navigate adulthood, we can find things in our paths that bring a wide range of emotions. We are constantly encountering new scenarios, relationships, and challenges that act as catalysts for these deep emotional responses. One of the most compelling and transformative aspects of this journey; however, lies in the conscious effort to understand how these powerful emotions actively shape who we are becoming.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
