We will work collaboratively to empower you to live the life you want. I provide a welcoming and positive environment to address my clients' concerns and give them the space they need to process their difficult life experiences and develop useful skills to manage their challenges in a more effective way.

I have a diverse clinical background and have worked with people in various stages of their lives.

You can feel better! Imagine what life would be like if you felt free of anxiety, anger, and depression. Any difficult emotion or situation you may be struggling with can cause you to feel "stuck" and helpless. The negative thoughts and unhelpful behavior patterns you fall into create obstacles and challenges in your life. All of that can be changed. You can meet your goals and live a happy successful life. I would like to help you make that happen. Together we will identify the thoughts and behaviors that create misery instead of happiness.

Whether you're in college, landed the dream job, or maybe even fell in love, these are supposed to be the best years of your life. But something about this time has fallen far short of your expectations. "Adulting” isn't quite what you hoped it would be. You find yourself treading water instead of conquering new horizons. Counseling is a chance to grab a life vest (or at least a cup of coffee) and catch your breath. I provide a safe space for you to heal from the past, navigate present obstacles, and plan for the future. Give me a call and let’s redefine the journey. You are worth it.

Sometimes we need help navigating life’s ups and downs. Whether you’ve been struggling with depression, anxiety or simply finding balance, talking to a professional therapist can help.

Through a collaborative effort, we can work together to help you gain a better understanding of your difficulties and strengths, overcome challenges, improve relationships and work towards a healthier and happier you.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious or depressed? Frustrated or unhappy in your relationships? I work with adults, teens, or couples who want to feel better emotionally, more connected, and more hopeful. I truly understand that reaching out and feeling vulnerable can be difficult, so I work to develop a warm, empathic, nonjudgmental, and collaborative relationship with my clients.

Why do relationships seem so hard? Are you feeling hopeless about your situation? The good news is - you don't have to face life's difficulties alone. Everyone struggles at times, and friends and family may not be of help. You need an objective, emotionally supportive therapist to help you look at what works and what doesn't. We won't change what is already working, instead we will identify and build on your existing strengths. Then use your strengths to modify behaviors, thoughts, and emotions, that get in your way. Collaboratively, we will design a treatment plan for you.

I use an integrative approach to therapy that is collaborative, solution-focused, and aimed at creating meaningful movement towards positive change.

I additionally enjoy helping couples and families improve communication and overall relationship dynamics. I believe that change happens when knowledge and experiences are shared.

I specialize in working with moms recognize their evolving identity, stop toxic patterns, acknowledge the impact of their story and re-discover their worth. So many moms feel invisible in their lives. Their wants and needs get lost in the mix of meeting the needs of others around them. So many moms I work with share that they miss who they used to be, are confused by who they are today, and want support in finding clarity and a sense of calm in their new life. I am not a smile and nod therapist. We will get real and start creating change. In person and telehealth available.

" What consumes your mind, controls your life" Are you or someone you know dealing with something right now that does not seem to end? Feeling like giving up? Frustrated? Afraid? Feeling confused and needing direction? Maybe you have been feeling like no one understands, or that you can handle it on your own. As much as we would all like to handle it on our own, the truth is everyone can use someone to talk with. I am a believer in experiences making you who you are. These experiences can either consume you, or shape you.
