It is no coincidence that you are reading this right now. Making the decision to begin counseling can feel overwhelming and stir up a lot of different emotions. I want you to know that you are not alone and that there is hope for better days ahead. In life, there can be various challenges that we face that make it difficult to function at our best. Symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, terminal illness, trauma and more can interfere with how we think, feel, and experience life. If you are feeling stuck or unsure how to move through a challenging time, I am here to help.

I look forward to guiding and supporting you on this road to growth and fulfillment.

Whether it's your first time exploring therapy or you're resuming your self-growth, an active effort to change your life is commendable! My role in your journey consists of psychoeducation, supportive and reliable encouragement, and to extend an invitation to challenge old ways of thinking. I believe every individual has innate wisdom and valued assets that will be essential in achieving treatment goals. Through the years I have worked with a myriad of individuals seeking a change in their life. I have learned that people are much more than the problems they are faced with.

In my journey as a therapist, I have found that working with individuals, couples, and families who have been impacted by addiction and/or trauma is my true passion. I believe our histories impact our current reality in both positive and negative ways. When we change our perspective of the past to make it less painful and find meaning from the pain, we recreate our narrative and move into a life worth living. I want my clients to believe they too can find that life worth living for themselves as they progress through therapy. Whether addressing trauma, addiction, both, or something more, I seek to help my clients find their purpose.

Couples! How did things get this bad? There was a time when you both could talk about anything. You connected so profoundly that the thought of having trouble communicating was laughable. But things have changed, and you're at an impasse. Now, every attempt at communication about what matters most leads to useless fighting or icy silences. When you’re together, you still feel desperately alone. You don’t recognize the person your partner has become. Even worse, you don’t like who this relationship has made you become. You aren’t ready to give up, but you know that things can't continue like this. You’re ready for help.
