I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, and athletes who are navigating anxiety, life transitions, identity challenges, or disordered eating. I also work with couples navigating life stressors or just struggling to stay connected. My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and collaborative, creating a safe space where you can be heard, understood, and supported.

Settle in, be yourself and lets get to work!

Welcome – Taking the First Step Toward Healing
Navigating abrupt life changes, the weight of grief, or the impact of past trauma can feel overwhelming. I believe everyone possesses an innate "healing intelligence" within them, guiding them toward growth and wholeness. My role as licensed professional counselor is to offer a compassionate, safe space where children, adolescents, and adults can tap into that intelligence and honor their unique journey. My work is firmly rooted in relational neuroscience and attachment theory, providing a strong framework for understanding how our brains and relationships shape our experiences.

Do you ever feel stuck, repeating the same patterns but unsure why? Maybe you find yourself in familiar situations—whether in relationships, at work, or in life—wondering how you ended up there again. Even when you try to change, something keeps pulling you back. Or perhaps life seems “fine” on the surface, yet deep down, you struggle with self-doubt, discouragement, or the nagging feeling that something is missing.
These feelings are more common than you think, and real change doesn’t come from just trying harder—it comes from understanding yourself on a deeper level.

Every person has so much beauty within them that is just waiting to emerge. As a warm-hearted, holistic therapist, I help you navigate through what you want to change. Together, we uncover a path towards wholeness, authenticity and empowerment. I collaborate with adults and teens by providing tools in session that can be applied outside the therapy space. Utilizing deep listening and experiential activities in therapy, we begin to notice changes at both the emotional and relational level. I work with those who experience anxiety, depression, spiritual/existential issues, relationship conflicts, trauma, or those longing to grow.

I work with people at a turning point: the moment you can finally admit that the way you've been living has become unmanageable, whether the wrecking ball was drinking, a career collapse, a legal problem, or a marriage running on fumes. Some of my clients are fresh out of a treatment program and building an aftercare plan that has to hold.
Others are professionals whose license, reputation, and recovery all have to survive the same week.

My approach to counseling is mainly from a person-centered, non-authoritative style that allows clients to process, discover, and find their own solutions. By fostering a non-judgmental space; clients are met where they are and viewed as the experts in their lives. Through various evidence based techniques of counseling, clients are empowered to challenge internal thinking processes and motivated to create positive change. As clients discover how to utilize their inner strengths to bring about these transformations, autonomy increases, and independence is fortified.

Dealing with anxiety, and depression, can be debilitating and cause difficulties with everyday tasks and relationships. Traumatic experiences can make us fearful of living, and daily experiences can sometimes confirm the lies we begin to believe about ourselves. I would love to help you build strong relationships, feel like you have the energy to take on the day and live a life that is not centered around the stresses and trauma you have experienced.
