I am a licensed psychologist who focuses on the treatment of stress and relationship concerns. I place particular emphasis on valuing the strengths and diversity that each person brings to the counseling process. My therapeutic interventions are aimed at helping the individual to become more empowered through greater awareness and by helping her/him to have a greater sense of their own identity. It is my hope that counseling will facilitate life-long changes which will promote resilience and enhance abilities to cope with future life challenges.

So you've been thinking about making some kind of change in your life. Maybe you've even tried taking steps to make it happen, but for some reason, it just isn't working. That's okay! We all need help every once in a while. Maybe it's help finding solutions or maybe it's just someone to listen while you work through the process. Either way, I would be honored to be that person. With over 10 years in the mental health and addiction field, I have learned a thing or two about "change coaching." That's my passion - seeing people create sustainable changes in their lives that benefit not only them but the people they care about.

I have primarily worked with adolescents and adults coping with Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, and family members impacted by a loved ones addiction. In life we may have experiences where we did not cope effectively and those memories just stick with us. Along with those memories are negative ideas about the self and uncomfortable emotions. Through the use of EMDR and trauma focused approaches, this "old stuff" can be resolved to create a healing lasting change.

Welcome! My approach to therapy starts with believing that change is in our control and, by working from that mentality, we can learn to accept & grow from what we cannot control in order to live our life in an more optimal way. Being in the LGBT community myself, some of my clients value having a therapist that can connect with that experience. In my therapy space, I value authenticity, safety, freedom to choose, connection to others as well as ourselves, & being challenged. My clients want a safe & comfortable space that can help them facilitate growth (that can sometimes be uncomfortable) & I love when I can provide that.

Feelings of depression, fear, anxiety, confusion, anger, grief, trauma, and other struggles beset us all at times. I believe creating an environment where everyone can feel safe and heard is vital, and cultivating a therapeutic alliance to be alongside individuals as a nonjudgmental support in the journey to wholeness and independence. I listen for unique needs and preferences and utilize an eclectic and integrated approach to working with the whole person. With empathy and compassion I will also ask challenging questions to explore ideas, new ways of thinking and understanding, and guide intuitive discovery for meaningful change.
