ou might be someone who looks capable on the outside but feels overwhelmed or fragmented inside. You’re tired of pushing through, masking, or second-guessing yourself. You want clarity, steadier emotions, and boundaries without guilt. You’re not broken—you need space to slow down, understand what’s happening in your nervous system, and live in a way that actually fits you.

My unique educational and professional background of Clinical and Sport & Performance Psychology as well as 8 years experience of being a licensed special education teacher enables me to provide a combination of services unlike that of any other clinician in the state. Technology is also a staple of my practice.

I help individuals who have learned to function through pain, battling long-standing patterns that haven’t shifted despite their best efforts. Many of my clients come in carrying doubts—wondering if therapy can really help their challenges or if they will just be misunderstood. My approach is rooted in both science and a deep respect for each person's lived experience. I offer a steady, compassionate space where healing can reach even the places that once felt out of reach.

The quality I most desire in clients is authenticity. I view the therapeutic relationship as being based upon mutual trust, and it is difficult to enact meaningful change if we fail to present our genuine selves. However, I also acknowledge that we all have different experiences, and there is no need to be concerned if it takes varying amounts of time to build trust in the therapeutic relationship. I have experience working with the following: nearly all mood disorders and personality disorders, substance dependency, dual diagnosis, trauma, adolescent crime, couples counseling, family counseling.

Do you feel disconnected from yourself or others, just getting through the day instead of truly living? You may notice parts of you reacting quickly, shutting down, or repeating old roles that no longer serve you. Past experiences may still shape your relationships or sense of self. You might feel unsure of what you want or who you are. Even if therapy has helped before, the change has not lasted. You want steadiness, connection, and a more self-led way of living and relating. Whether you are looking for individual or relationship counseling, I can help.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Therapists
When should someone seek treatment for a traumatic brain injury?
People should seek a diagnosis and treatment after a head injury, especially if they were unconscious, and an early diagnosis can lead to a better recovery. Signs of a concussion include headaches, nausea or vomiting, exhaustion, dizziness, vision problems, sensitivity to light and sound, problems with attention and memory, brain fog, unusual irritability or sadness, and unusual sleep patterns.

What’s the most common treatment for a traumatic brain injury?
Treatment for a traumatic brain injury will be different depending on the severity of the problem. For mild injuries, treatment may involve rest and over-the-counter pain or headache medication. For moderate or severe injuries, treatment may involve stabilization, medication, and rehabilitative therapies such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, cognitive therapy, and counseling.

How long does it take to recover from traumatic brain injury?
The recovery time for a traumatic brain injury depends on the individual and the severity and nature of the injury; the length of time spent unconscious is often an indicator of severity. Recovery time for mild injuries may be a week or two while recovery time for more severe injuries may be six months to two years. Research suggests that the vast majority of recovery occurs in the first two years after an injury; recovery after that time frame is less certain.

What if a traumatic brain injury is left untreated?
If a traumatic brain injury is left untreated, it can lead to long-term physical and mental health problems. Physical problems may include dizziness, headaches, vision, healing, or speech loss, and an elevated risk of dementia. Psychological problems may include impairments of memory, judgment, and decision-making, depression, aggression, poor impulse control, and personality changes.
