But, think of making your first appointment with me as your first step in creating a better relationship with yourself and your life…decide that YOU matter enough to begin!
Life today can be VERY tough to navigate, but can seem overwhelming when you constantly feel stressed out, discouraged, or simply "not enough." Or, maybe you didn’t get off to a good start in life and believe that your chances for something better are slim…or you feel so worn down by the challenges of painful emotions, chronic illness, or addiction--or more than one of these--that you wonder “Is this all there is?” Well, the good news is that your best life is waiting for you, and as a therapist it is my honor to support you in taking the steps to reclaim your dreams, heal your past, grow your strength, and build your future!

Untangling the anxieties and frustrations that keep you tied to unrewarding work or relationships, and freeing you to follow the path with heart is the goal of my work.
Creating the life you want to live can be incredibly difficult. The forces pushing you to conform to expectations are strong. But what I have learned is that there is a force inside each of us which is even stronger. Jung called this force the “Self” and the process that it sets in motion is “individuation.” Honoring the impulses coming from the Self moves us on to a path which is ours alone, where we can discover the deep passions and purpose of our existence. Are you ready and willing to answer the “call to adventure?’

In life, there's not always a "right place right time" but rather a "I'm making this the right place and time." Life is all about decisions good or bad, but how you deal with the outcome is up to you. I believe in helping people reach their best outcome despite the circumstances. Life can be difficult, and when you are unsure how to navigate it, things can add up quickly. For the past 10 years, I have worked with troubled teens assisting them in transforming their life for the better. I have had experience working with adults in different areas of depression and anxiety, and have helped them discover the light they were missing.

My gentle and authentic therapeutic approach starts with the belief that each person already has everything they need within them to get to where they want to go. And, that most people still feel stuck in life despite this. Therefore, I feel passionately about meeting my clients where they are at to help them get to where they want to be. Navigating a broken world takes a toll on the heart, mind, and body. I want my clients to feel seen and heard as they venture to heal all of these.

Do you have conflicted relationships with friends/family?
I'm skilled in parenting and family interventions, understanding that we learn most of our coping techniques from a young age. A unique service I offer is one in which I involve parents and children in family sessions. This helps build closer connections and leads to a happier home environment.
