Whether you’re dealing with relationship issues, difficult family circumstances, trauma recovery, depression, anxiety, or other concerns, it would be my pleasure to walk with you in your journey.

Have you ever felt rejected or misunderstood by your family or friends? Have you felt that you are a people pleaser and still feel you are not receiving the care and support you need?

I will work with you to find obstacles that prevent the human connection we all seek and work together to help you achieve your goals.

Life can be very stressful at times. Our moods, anxiety levels, thinking and behaviors can depend on how well we are able to manage these stressors over time.

My goal in therapy is to provide a safe environment so that you can learn to better manage your thinking, feeling and behavior and regain control and power in your life.

I believe that beginning therapy doesn't mean that something is wrong with you. It can be that safe hour you take to nourish yourself and find clarity.

Accepting New Clients! Reframing the way you think can be a life long process. My goal is help you change the way you look at yourself, life, goals, and even counseling. I take a more down to earth approach, and do my best to help relate therapeutic subject matter to a topic you can understand. I work to build a therapeutic alliance with you in order to meet your mental health needs and give you the tools necessary to improve your life. My areas of clinical focus are depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions (new job, or school transitions) and interpersonal communication between family, coworkers, and/or friends.

Are you struggling to navigate life after a major change? Do you feel disconnected from your spouse, your family, or yourself? When life gets to be too much, we can all use some extra support. I work with adolescents, adults, families, and couples to overcome hurdles and find joy in the every day. Together, we will work to break down emotional barriers, uncover and heal wounds, and bring about self discovery.

Sometimes the life we want and the life we have are not the same. With proper support, however, there is a way to integrate reality with your hopes and goals. If you have had difficulties in your relationships, career, or daily life, I want to help you navigate a path toward integration and wholeness. I believe that with compassionate support and a curious look into one's thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and motivation, everyone is capable of change. My experience includes (but is not limited to) working with children, youth and adults who have experienced anxiety, depression, family conflict and life transitions.

We all seek out for help for different reasons. For many of us, we reach out becuase of events that happen in life that steer us away from our values. I view my job as a therapist as being a helper to find your core values again. My therapy modalities focus on couples, individual work, and families. Each of these are something that I put into practice daily in the therapy room. Taking the step to seek treatment is not easy however I feel very honored to be apart of that journey. If you decide to schedule an appointment I will provide a safe supportive place to grow and find your deepest values.

I combine licensed mental health therapy with professional life coaching to provide therapy to individuals, couples, and families. I work best with clients who are self-driven and motivated, who need support, guidance, or inspiration. I believe that our culture has created disconnection and emptiness and many of us feel alone, misunderstood, and isolated. It is my personal mission to reconnect with others in order to heal the mind, body, and spirit through mental health therapy, coaching, connecting, and creating shared meaning.
