Sometimes life can be hard. We can get trapped living in the problem rather than the solution. Let's work together to make the changes you want.

I particularly enjoy working with adolescent and young adult males who are struggling with "failure to launch" issues as they make the transition to becoming responsible adults.

The past is present for all of us in so many ways. For those with trauma, this is especially true. It becomes the lens through which you see yourself and the world around you. Any experience of trauma can fundamentally change how your brain functions. You're anxious, on edge, aware of every sensation in your body or completely numb, and prone to panic. You may lose all motivation, have difficulty with memory, and be unable to regulate your emotions. Most adult mental illness can be traced back to traumatic life events and can be significantly improved with trauma focused therapy.

As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor I consider therapy a path of change by way of a specific kind of partnership where clients feel understood, valued, and free to explore patterns of thoughts, emotions, conflicts, and relationships. My approach to counseling is a blend of theoretical concepts aimed at resolving conflicts and refining the necessary skills to meet life's challenges.

Mental health is at the forefront of cultural awareness right now and therapy is more accessible than ever. It is my goal as a clinician to help you recognize and embrace the role that mental health plays in your overall sense of well-being. I believe therapeutic “check-ups” are just as vital as routine doctor visits and that preventive mental health care can work wonders for issues both large and small. My hope is that I can help you on your journey to being more proactive and less reactive when it comes to advocating for (and loving!) yourself.

"The opportunity to help you broaden your ideas of who you are and what you can be is undeniably my greatest reward.
