Life is challenging, but there is hope. My clients come from a variety of backgrounds and experience a variety of struggles, but all have one thing in common. Everyone needs to feel understood, supported, and heard in order to grow. I work with my clients in a warm and supportive environment to help them understand their experiences, thoughts, emotions, relationships, and themselves. I work with my clients to meet their goals for mind and body wellness ranging from everyday stress to major life challenges.

My expertise includes providing individual, family, and couples therapy to address a wide variety of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, LGBT struggles, parenting concerns, abuse and other trauma history, grief and loss, substance abuse, and other mental health concerns.

Like nature, we ebb and flow through different seasons in life. While some seasons of life can feel overwhelming, these are often the times when we can experience the most growth. Therapy can be a wonderful tool to help individuals seek personal growth, overcome struggle, and thrive in life.

My focus is on your individual journey; my energy & efforts are spent meeting you where you are to meet your goals.

Therapy is about change and hope. Come looking for a space to unload the weights on your world, which might be grief, loss, pain, trauma, confusion, fear, hurt.... but eventually we will grasp onto a lifeline of hope to begin to move toward a position that leads you out from being overwhelmed or consumed by those weights that you have been carrying. Therapy moves at a different pace for each person and care and compassion will be given to meet everyone's individual needs.

My purpose is to teach, guide, and support all those seeking to live up to their highest potential. My intentions as a psychotherapist are to help you understand, release, and heal the parts of "self" that are felt to be out of balance, stuck, and/or wounded. We have the innate ability to heal ourselves from past stories that no longer serve us in the present. This profound healing can transform your life to have more meaning and purpose. My area of strengths include treating trauma, secondary trauma, PTSD, attachment issues, performance issues, mood disorders, and/or other behavioral health issues hindering your quality of life.

In my private practice I believe in a systemic approach to therapy that is individualized for each patient. I use strength based techniques and empower patients to make better choices. It is my willingness to work "out-of-the-box", be creative, and custom fit sessions that has generated positive testimonials. I encourage patients to take the drivers seat in the development and implementation of their treatment plan. This gives you the best chance at positive change and success. My hope is that after every session you feel more focused, balanced, and empowered.
