People seek help for many reasons. I often tell clients, "I don't know how you feel, but I know the feeling." Sometimes it's the daily hassles that have become too much to handle and other times we are overwhelmed by serious life events. Whether you are struggling with the stress and strain of a current issue or coping to the best of your ability with a life-long problem, I offer a space to feel safe and connected as we navigate barriers to you becoming the best version of yourself. Offering IN-PERSON and VIRTUAL psychotherapy. I am certified in EMDR and fully trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Some say “Life’s a journey, not a destination.” But what if your journey has always been an uphill climb, or worse yet, you reached the top and realized you had taken the wrong path? Our experiences in life often make it difficult to find the right route. Though the obstacles you face may seem overwhelming, you do not have to make this trip alone!

I am a passionate and compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Master Addiction Counselor that specializes in working with individuals, and family members of individuals, who are struggling with addiction issues.

As you read this, count to 7 while you breathe in deeply, then exhale slowly for 11 seconds. Doing this one small thing can help you slow down and reset. We often hold so much anxiety and stress in our bodies, and we can find relief when we tune in and notice what we’re feeling. You may be feeling totally stuck, unsure about what to do to feel better, and tired of listening to that harsh inner critic. Wanting to change but being held back by self-doubt and endless "what-ifs" can leave you drained, anxious, frustrated, and overwhelmed, but you don't have to keep feeling this way.

I believe there are many people who suffer silently. It can be difficult to reach out for help, especially when feeling alone, vulnerable, misunderstood, or hopeless. I often work with adults who have been struggling with their sense of self, though they appear "okay" to others. Many of my clients have recent or past unresolved trauma and/or childhood issues that have never been fully resolved. Many who reach out to me desperately want to heal but feel stuck and don't know how to move forward.

You may be here because you are seeking the freedom of not living in fear. Perhaps you find that a lot of your time is occupied by rumination or trouble tolerating uncertainty. You might describe yourself as ‘plagued with self-doubt’. I’m here for you while we navigate these challenges together. I approach therapy through the lens of guiding my clients to learn to manage the uncertainty and discomfort in what we don't have control of and instead focus on acting on their values, what is important to them/their growth, healing their relationship with themselves, and learning to be an active participant in their own lives.
