My approach to providing therapy is collaborative and based on the client's existing strengths. I believe in the client's inherent ability to find his/her own solutions to life's challenges, and see my role as a guide in helping to unearth those solutions. I have a warm and open demeanor, which helps to put clients at ease. My style in practicing therapy is active and vocal. With compassion and respect, I will always offer my perspective on any given problem a client may face.

Feeling anxious, angry, depressed, isolated from friends and family? Dealing with a difficult life situation or trying to break bad habits, you just can't seem to shake? You're not alone. I believe that everybody has the ability to heal from the pain of the past, face the challenges of today, and go beyond the hurdles of tomorrow. Sometimes we just need a little help along the way.

I treat individuals struggling with Anxiety, Depression and Sleep Disturbance. I also help couples find their way back to a more satisfying relationship.

Counseling is a relationship between the client and counselor, working together to make positive changes to what may not be working in relationships and their daily lives. The goal of this relationship is to assess patterns of behavior and find new ways of interacting. I have over 10+ years experience with couples, families, and individuals in a therapeutic setting. I am currently doing EMDR therapy.

I have a passion for connecting with others and helping people to grow and move beyond what holds them back from having a fulfilling and productive life. I am oriented toward a humanistic and existential perspective and incorporate mindfulness, gratitude, and self-compassion into my practices while utilizing a variety of evidence-based treatments. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and view therapy as a collaborative effort between the therapist and the individual. As a therapist, it is my aim to help you identify obstacles, build on strengths, and work toward goals while providing guidance and support.

Starting counseling is a significant decision, and you may have many questions. If you have questions or concerns, please ask, and I will try my best to give you all the information you need. I have over 12 years of clinical experience treating children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families from a feminist lens. Counseling can sometimes lead to intense emotions, and clients sometimes feel worse before they feel better. However, counseling often leads to significant symptom reduction, increased satisfaction in interpersonal relationships, greater personal awareness and insight, and increased skills for managing stress.

Over the past 9 years I've worked with individuals, couples, families, and groups in various settings including private practice, hospitals, residential, and community mental health centers. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults working through day to day stressors, processing past experiences, and in need of crisis intervention.

We all struggle and have different challenges that we may face in our daily lives. Whether you may struggle from depression, anxiety or whatever else life may have thrown your way I want to help support you. My passion is working with individuals from all walks of life who are in need of a safe and supportive environment to navigate life's challenges. I believe that the best way to work and process through life's ups and downs is in a comfortable and supportive environment. I am here to help you grow and become your authentic self.

Let's clarify a few things! Often people who experience anxiety, depression and panic attacks feel like they are stuck forever. They have gone through difficult life challenges or tough transitions that are taking a toll on their ability to cope as well as they would like. If you are going through one or more of these challenges, you are not alone. Seeking help through therapy can be the first step to taking back control of your life. I utilize a holistic and engaged style to achieve both comfort and trust, blended with authentic and respectful therapeutic techniques.
