Having to pick a therapist can be incredibly overwhelming! Don't let the stress of the unknown stop you from taking that leap. As a genuine and compassionate clinician, I enjoy connecting with my clients in a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic environment. With 10 years experience working beside adults and adolescents struggling with substance use issues, I have helped clients move past shame and guilt to develop a strong identity and achieve personal growth.

All of my vocational career has been spent caring for the family system from kids and youth to couples and parents. My passion is to helping teens navigate their world that is ever evolving, provide support to emerging adults as they grow in their independence, and support couples to become the healthiest version of themselves. With a background in ministry, I love to help those who suffered from religious trauma and help them figure out their way forward.

Welcome! I understand that starting therapy can be daunting, but I'm here to support you every step of the way.

I am passionate about helping people navigate the complexities of life, explore their identities, manage stress, and build healthy relationships.

Searching for a therapist can be a difficult first step and I'm so glad that you're here! I truly enjoy working with individuals and couples who are searching for understanding in their life.

I’m passionate about helping people who are stuck with negative feelings, thoughts or behaviors. I use Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT) which was created by Dr. Jon Connelly at the Institute for Rapid Resolution Therapy, Inc. and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for adults.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and an EMDR Certified therapist and use a strengths-based approach to therapy. I believe that the healing power of an empathic relationship provides a safe space for an individual to safely explore their values and the ways in which they make meaning out of their experiences and interact with the world. It is within this exploration that individuals can begin to dislodge from stuck patterns and make choices that are in line with their values so they can live out their life in an intentional way.

In person therapy or teletherapy. I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist working with adults and adolescents. My focus has been working with clients that have addictions, substance abuse issues, anxiety, depression, co-dependency, life changes/transitions, relationship issues, divorce, infertility, women's issues, mood disorders, and self-injury. I believe in identifying client's strengths to assist in a healthier lifestyle. Much of my therapy style is through CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy. I provide a safe environment of compassion and understanding, wherein each client is seen as an individual.

Life is a journey with many roads. Some roads may be harder to navigate and it is my job as a counselor/therapist to assist you through those bumps in the road. It is important to build a trusting relationship while providing services in a safe and comfortable environment. Confidentially is a high priority, while ensuring empathy, "judgement free zone", and positive regard. I will assist with supplying the skills needed to cope with life's challenges. My goal is to ensure your goals are the focal point and to work towards your goal(s) each session.

I know how difficult it can be to take those first steps in seeking out a new therapist. Life can be challenging in many ways and can be difficult navigating alone. I take great care in providing a safe and collaborative environment for my clients to explore their lives and various obstacles in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way. Some of the modalities I use include CBT, DBT, ART, IFS, Psychoanalytic, and Holistic. Building a trusting relationship and witnessing each client's journey is what I find most fulfilling about my work as a therapist.

You don’t have to go through this alone. A meaningful life is always full of challenges, and sometimes we need a trusted guide for a difficult leg of the journey. When you make the decision to try therapy, you deserve to feel safe, valued, and understood by your therapist. My approach is open and authentic. I believe in warmth, humor, and engaging as a human being, not just as a clinician.

I enjoy working with young adults and professionals who feel stuck and are desiring change. I believe we all are capable of leading a happy and fulfilling life, and with the right support and tools we can! I am passionate about working with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, work/life stressors, self-esteem, and relationship issues.

Therapy is a process of befriending yourself and finding empowerment in your journey. As a trauma-informed therapist, I believe my role is to create a non-judgmental space where clients can feel safe and demonstrate autonomy. Building a meaningful relationship with my clients, rooted in genuine human connection, is at the core of my therapeutic approach. I’m passionate about working with adults and adolescents wanting to explore anxiety, gender identity, body image and self-esteem, racial and ethnic identity, and multicultural experiences.
