Life is stressful, relationships are tricky, emotions can be tough - and sometimes you need someone to help navigate it all. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to helping individuals, children, adolescents, couples, and families get on steadier ground. I am EMDR trained and can offer EMDR therapy to children, teens, and adults to work through really painful memories.

I offer a non-judgmental and comfortable space where clients feel heard and respected. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, I work with clients to recognize unhelpful thought patterns. CBT is extremely effective for managing feelings of anxiety and depression. I also use the Gottman method for couples that is proven effective in improving communication.

Through my own life challenges, I know the importance of developing and maintaining your mental health. It can be tough to reach out and get the help you need but your happiness deserves it. Contact me and let's begin the journey of getting you back on the right track!
