I want every couple who comes to see me to feel heard and seen as individuals and to gain fresh insight and tools for their relationship.

My third specialty area is working with new moms struggling with intrusive thoughts, anxiety, depression, and changes to body image and relationships.

Whether you're looking for help with parenting challenges, relationship issues, or ways to manage anxiety, depression, or everyday life stressors, choosing a therapist is an important decision. I have found that when clients feel secure and understood in the therapeutic relationship, exploration and resolution of difficult life experiences becomes possible. I'm an experienced licensed professional counselor who works with individuals of all ages (3-80+). I tailor my approach to the individual and utilize a variety of treatment approaches.

Welcome! Beginning therapy is an exciting, but potentially daunting experience. It's hard to know where to start when you've been feeling stuck.

No matter what stage of life you are in, everyone needs a little bit of help at times. I see individuals from adolescents to adults who may need additional support, learn new skills, or just need someone to talk to.

With compassion and cultural sensitivity, I have strived to help teens, adults, couples, and families to build resilience in the face of adversity since 2017. Trauma is real and looks different for each person. Healing takes time and support. What you have experienced does not determine who you are, but it can impact how you feel about yourself, the world, and others. Remember trauma and abuse are never your fault. You don't have to just survive anymore, you can thrive. Therapy is a collaborative relationship when done right. Let's work together to facilitate a healthier, happier, YOU!

Sometimes life's problems seem more than we can manage on our own. Psychotherapy is not a magic cure. It can be hard work, but it can help you deal more effectively with challenges in your life.

Looking for healing, personal growth, and change? Is it time to focus on YOUR wellness? You are enough and you are worth it. Together, we can find your path to wellness.

I meet people where they are at and continually strive to demonstrate empathy and unconditional positive regard. Life is hard, you do not have to do it alone.

Healing through therapy will always begin with the relationship we create. My job is to bring a relationship full of compassion and respect for your journey through life. Your job in therapy is to show up. We will work together from there to find out what recovery means to you! Therapy is hard work, whether you are struggling with daily life, relationships, or wounds that have been impacting you for years. I hope to help you to find purpose in the struggle, and to find your best self in the healing.
