I enjoy helping build a support network that has your best interest at heart, and allows you to share your experience with those supports in a way that gives you choice and dignity. LGBTQAI+ affirming and compassionate care is the standard here, as is support around accessing reproductive healthcare.

Few people relish change. Sometimes life offers challenges and opportunities. Sometimes it forces change and transitions upon us. It can happen at every stage of life. However, we always have choices about how we face it and how we respond. We can go with it, flow with it and grow with it. It requires a lot of courage. It also helps to approach change with an open mind and an open heart. My approach to psychotherapy is one that is non-judgmental, compassionate, empathic, understanding, safe and supportive.

You often feel overwhelmed, worry too much and feel discouraged. You are a sensitive person but wish sometimes you were less sensative. You are so responsible and care so much about your loved ones that you put yourself last. Maybe you have trauma from your past you know still affects you but other things you have tried have not helped so you don't know what to do next. It's not that you have not tried to help yourself-you have tried and tried hard. You know you are not living up to your potential. You may also desire to be more social but you have been hurt so much in the past that you just stay home. But then you are lonely.

The first step on the road to change is often the most difficult, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the obstacles and challenges that lie ahead. Having a partner to help navigate the path can make all the difference, and my role as a therapist is to join you on that journey. My background includes working with individuals, groups, and families of all ages who struggle with depression, anxiety, and interpersonal communication.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Life is full of challenges and setbacks and we sometimes need assistance. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation. I work with you to help you identify your desires and empower you to make those positive changes in your life. I recognize that making the choice to seek help can be difficult, so I use an approach that is compassionate, direct, and non-judgmental to help create an environment where you feel supported in your counseling journey.

Hello! We all experience struggle and difficult situations in life. I approach all who come into my office with acceptance, support and individually tailored sessions. We will work together to gain better understanding, set goals and work toward them. Therapy is a safe, judgement-free space for you and/or your family unit to work through hard times. It is a privilege and an honor for me to walk with you through such difficult and vulnerable moments. Please know that you are not alone and, together, we can move toward a better tomorrow.

I believe the first and most important step is to create a nonjudgmental space to process what is on your mind. I am here to empower you to become your own therapist in the end, by giving you tools for coping and by helping you learn and let go of what is not serving you. I will meet you where you’re at--you do not have to feel ‘prepared’ for therapy sessions. We will be able to genuinely explore your feelings and inner dialogue together, even if that’s not something you would normally consider.

Welcome! Seeking therapy can be a challenging process, so I'm glad you have taken the first step. As a therapist at Transformational Choices, a community based professional service that provides a full range of life enhancing services, I provide mental health counseling for individuals. I am open to seeing clients of all backgrounds and ages, although I have the most experience working with young adults and teenagers. I am open and accepting of clients of all backgrounds, including but not limited to: LGBTQ individuals, BIPOC individuals, and those from all religions, cultures, and backgrounds.

I work with individuals, couples and groups providing a comfortable and calming space to work out life’s challenges. Many individuals come in with patterns of behavior that have been difficult to escape. The pressure of modern society creates unique challenges and clients need a space to work out these stresses, anxieties and addictive patterns. Many of my clients work on strengthening their identity, emotional balance, acceptance in relationships and individual growth.

Welcome! I strive to make therapy a meaningful experience through providing genuine support, safety, transparency, warmth, humor, and collaboration. I believe in meeting you where you’re at and am committed to working alongside you as you develop positive coping skills to make changes in your life. I utilize a trauma-informed, strengths-based, and person-centered approach.

I want to help you to break out of any negative patterns that interfere with your life. These patterns can be as simple as procrastinating at school, work or at home. They could be more serious, such as anxiety, problematic relationships or addictions. The focus of our work can be any pattern which makes it difficult for you to meet your responsibilities, which are painful or which cause you to miss the joy in life. I believe that you possess the innate qualities necessary to ease your suffering and to heal.

(As a couple or individual) - Experiencing a traumatic event, anxiety/ past pain can send you into a panic, tearful, angry, shut down. Feeling disconnected from yourself or from your partner. Stress feels so intense that sometimes it moves you to withdrawal. Or it rises into agitation: why doesn't my partner see my pain? Why did this/does this conflict/"bad thing" happen? What if it happens again? Feeling distrustful that anyone will be there for you either because you have been let down by someone before (maybe your partner) or have experienced something painful/traumatic & fear it will happen again. Feeling lonely and ignored.
