I have experience in working with issues related to depression, anxiety, grief and loss, bipolar, self-esteem, chronic health concerns, and self-exploration.
A trusting therapeutic relationship is essential for successful therapy. It is my goal to develop strong working relationships with my clients based on creating an environment that is comfortable, open, and judgment free. A supportive environment for clients will help to promote overall wellness, hope, growth, and insight as clients develop new tools for meaningful change and growth.

My goal for you is to reach a place of confidence in yourself to be able to work through whatever life brings your way.
With empathy, support, and self-exploration, you can begin to discover new ways of viewing the losses of life, learn what your values truly are, forge your own path, and find a great support system to back you up.
Young adulthood can be one of the most challenging times of life. From the demands of school/work, to relationships and friendships – there’s a lot to juggle. All of this can leave you feeling anxious and depressed. Life’s challenges can feel impossible to navigate on your own. Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, you get blindsided. Maybe it’s a breakup. Maybe it’s the loss of a job. Maybe you begin to question your own values, your path in life, or realize you no longer have things in common with the people you once knew. Whatever your struggle may be, I want you to know that I’ve been there and that there is hope.

I am also a certified Death Doula and specialize in support for individuals and caretakers dealing with end of life care, death/ loss, and grief.
We all go through difficult times and need some objective support. I work with adults who experience anxiety, trauma, grief or other adjustments to life transitions. Clients who come to me are often seeking someone to accept them and meet them where they are; someone who will help them learn how to use their strengths to make changes in order to find peace of mind and live the life they want. The work may be hard, and uncomfortable at times, but we approach it as a team to reach their goals. I currently am able to work with two new clients during the weekdays.

Life is busy. Life is chaotic. And figuring out how to balance it all can feel mentally, physically and emotionally draining. My goal is to help you find some calm in the chaos, and regain a sense of inner peace. When facing issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, or distress, we find that your mental health and physical health are affected. The body can hold onto emotions and trauma, so we can work together to release and let go of that which we no longer need. Sometimes time does not "heal all", the body keeps score. Self-care is how you take your power back, and I am here to support you along the way.

Each of us has strengths and abilities for change, but experience difficulty tapping in to those resources. A good therapist can help with that. There is no shame in acknowledging that we want more from our life. Whether you want support in your relationships, find yourself experiencing anxiety or depression, or need help navigating difficult circumstances, I am here to help.

I have extensive experience working with adults and youth involved in the foster care system, dealing with challenges related to abuse, loss, anger management, substance use, as well as communication and parenting issues.
Life presents all of us with challenges and difficulties. Some are obvious, some less so. Sometimes we only know that we're struggling without being able to put our finger on why that is. I don't believe you need all the answers to start your journey to overcome the obstacles that you face. The starting point is the desire to improve your relationships, family, and career. Therapy provides a supportive environment where you can learn to cope with existing distress and learn to address the needs that will help increase the quality of your life and relationships.

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
