Please EMAIL. Conflict within ourselves and our relationships can feel exhausting and isolating. Sometimes it can feel as though we are powerless or stuck waiting for other people or our environment to change.

By deeply respecting how experiences affect clients, I seek to empower them to exercise more influence and agency in their lives and relationships.

**I am currently accepting new clients, however, I do not have any afternoon and/or weekend times available." I'm a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who has been in the mental health field for almost 20 years. For most of my career I've focused on working with children, adolescents and families offering them support and guidance, but I also enjoy working with adults. My approach is to meet clients where they're at and work together on reaching the goals that are identified.

Please note: presently, I have openings for telehealth clients on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am drawn to working with individuals who are navigating symptoms that may stem from anxiety, stress, depression, parenting challenges, gender identity, sexual identity, trauma, and harmful self-criticism. I help clients find greater clarity, confidence, connection, and love for themselves.
