Psychotherapy is for individuals who are motivated to make positive changes in their lives. Some individuals seek out therapy to improve their lives and to help recognize and remove barriers to a healthy lifestyle, relationships, and productivity. While others find that troubling symptoms of anxiety, depression, failed relationships, chronic pain, and loss are too intense to manage on their own. I work with individuals presenting with a range of emotional and psychological needs in a safe and respectful atmosphere. I respect and encourage individuals' motivation to change and help them develop their own internal resources to make lasting positive changes.

I am a passionate and committed professional whose goal is to help you create a life worth living and sharing.

I know at times you may not feel ready or even sometimes be resistant to change but I know working together we can be truly successful.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist focused on working with people in a caring, compassionate, and confidential manner.

I have experience working with people struggling with grief or spirituality related problems as well.

I offer diagnostic assessment services for persons of all ages, with an emphasis on developmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and learning disorders.

It's a big step to think about starting therapy and I want to assure you that you're on the right path. There might be days that are great and it's easy to stop and smell the roses, and then there might be those days that feel so incredibly tough to get through. Believe me, I get it. ​ Here's the thing, you are not alone. You can expect an experience reminding you that not only do you deserve to be cared for and treated with respect, but also you deserve to be truly seen and appreciated for who you are in this moment. You are already brave, strong, and needed in this world. By being here you have already taken the first step.

I want to help my clients realize the strengths and wisdom they already possess. I believe that most change is letting go of what you’ve held on to much too tightly, and trying on new challenges that will lead to more integrity, fulfillment, and happiness. I hope to join my clients on the steps they’ve already taken towards change, and work with their openness towards continuing to make bold moves towards a better future with a healed past.

My philosophy of therapy is holistic, meaning I believe people are made up of many parts (mind, body, and spirit) and interact in many different environments. These parts are not independent of one another but work together. I am a Christian. I believe we are created for relationships. We know ourselves in the context of our relationships. Healing occurs through restoring relationships and refining our interactions within those relationships. My approach to therapy is from a systemic perspective. People work in relational systems and each person in the relationship is important to the balance of the whole system.
