You deserve to feel better and to see real benefits from therapy. Oftentimes we are looking for insight and tools to help us feel better, but we’re not sure where to look or what to try. Feeling disconnected to yourself or others, worrying too much, feeling stuck or avoiding certain aspects of life can be common experiences but they don’t have to define our lives. Together we will assess your concerns and develop a tailored plan that will help improve your quality of life and yield lasting change.

Do you find yourself trapped in cycles of rumination or anxiety? Do you go out of your way to avoid feeling sadness, grief, discomfort, or shame? Are you struggling to take steps forward? Are you where you wanted to be? As Mary Oliver said, "Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine." For most of us, life requires some amount of pain. Without help, our difficulties can feel unmanageable and all-consuming. My role is to hold compassionate space to sit beside you in discomfort, and when it's time, consider a new way forward.

Navigating life changes, relationships, self-esteem, and personal identity can be difficult while also trying to find your place in the world.

I believe that every person has the natural desire to grow, and that is what therapy with me is all about: personal growth. I hope to help you identify and work through the challenges you are facing, gain insight into barriers, and find solutions to improve your quality of health and relationships.

My goal is to help people feel heard and accepted within their relationships. I do this through creating an environment where differences are appreciated and authentic choices can be identified to maintain connection.

I help individuals develop the skills to manage anger and regulate their emotions. Is anger ruining your relationships, family life, or career? Maybe your partner has expressed that they or your children are afraid of you? With over 6 years of experience working with anger management clients in a clinical setting, I can help you gain control over your anger. Many people find themselves trapped in a cycle of frustration and reactivity, where emotional triggers lead to outbursts. This pattern can harm relationships, whether it's with a partner, family member, friend, or co-worker.

I believe that most people, at some point in their lives, face challenging issues such as job or family stress, relationship issues, death, or illness. My philosophy as a practitioner is to help those dealing with such issues to find support and help in facilitating change where it is needed in order to relieve some of the strain and enhance life experiences. My style is compassionate and individualized. While therapy should always be a forward progress, the pace of each person's therapy should be suited to the individual.

The interplay between diversity and inclusion significantly impacts mental health. I bring a diverse perspective to my therapeutic practice, adopting a holistic approach that views clients as whole individuals—mind, body, and soul. I help clients work through trauma and committed to helping them identify their strengths, align with their core values and beliefs, and gain deeper insight into what truly motivates them. I integrate strength-based and evidence-based modalities, including CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, Play Therapy and other trauma-informed approaches.

I enjoy helping people to feel more control over their lives. I am very curious about people’s stories. How can we edit our thoughts to feel better? Is there a different way to think about this problem? Sometimes I use humor to lighten the mood, but I will always uphold professional boundaries. In fact, I love to teach ways to set clear boundaries in our families and our workplaces. I have worked with many trauma survivors, and they describe feeling less trapped in shame spirals, with more confidence and fewer flashbacks. I treat both children and adults.

I specialize in adult/teen depression, anxiety, ADHD and relationship/family issues. Response time 24 business hours to calls or emails. My first priority is to understand you as a person.

I provide quality mental health counseling and therapy that is thoughtfully tailored to your needs. Our work together will address concerns in an empowering and centering way that produces substantive change. My approach is connective (Therapy works best when we are able to connect and work well together) and directive (by directive I mean that I give things for you to do during the week like writing, journaling, reading, exercises, reflections, and/or activities). I'm known for being helpful with people who have been through therapy and haven't had success. I help people find aliveness, creativity, and strength.

I believe we are not meant to go alone through life's challenges. Loss, grief, and unexpected changes; sense of purpose or meaning; questions of identity, gender, or sexuality; aging or illness; the role of spirituality in our lives - all of these can feel too overwhelming to sort through alone. In my practice, I offer space and support to bring fears and questions out of the darkness and into a shared, safe environment where they can be faced. I work with adults, teens, and youth ten and older, with a client-centered, strengths-based approach to help you find your best path forward.

I am passionate in working with relational issues, either when helping individuals or couples and families. I believe that our relationships have an essential impact on our well-being. I am yet to hear a client or a friend or a family member talk about distress that is not somehow associated to a relational issue... Aren't we all longing to belong and to find safety and security in the arms of our loved ones (partners, parents or very dear friends that are like family)? And yet, these are precisely the people that can hurt us the most.
