From a young age I wanted to be a therapist. My goal is to be the therapist that I needed as a child and an adult. Someone who would not only listen but really hear me, would be able to relate to me and offer skills, guidance and support to help me learn how to improve all areas of my life.

Hello and welcome! My practice is based on acceptance, honesty, support, and kindness. I am down to earth and believe in the importance of the client-therapist relationship. Together we will explore past and present challenges and move towards the life you want to live.

I believe that life is a journey. In this journey, life often has detours, obstacles and challenges that can lead us off our desire path. Together in therapy we will work together to begin to travel down the new desired path and journey in life. I use a client centered focus to meet you, the client, where you are and allow you to determine your goals and focus of therapy. I use traditional talk therapy techniques as well as hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques.

“Emotional pain is not something that should be hidden away and never spoken about. There is truth in your pain, there is growth in your pain, but only if it’s first brought out into the open.” — Steven Aitchisons.

My practice is called Happy Life Therapies. I believe we can all live a happy life. Wherever you are in your journey, I will meet you there. You can tell me your greatest hopes, your darkest fears, your deepest shame and regrets. Together we will find your way to peace and happiness. When you need help moving on, when you need a sounding board, inspiration, or someone to sit with you I am that therapist. Trauma, divorce, sexual abuse, fostercare placement, grief, body issues, I can help you. I am a listener.

My approach to therapy honors the innate strength and intuition of clients. Often, clients arrive at therapy feeling lost, out of control, or overwhelmed. I believe therapy can offer a space to connect with ourselves deeply and learn how to listen to our own self-leadership. I offer a warm and compassionate space that also challenges the natural incongruencies of human behavior. I have experience providing therapy to individuals, families, and couples from diverse backgrounds and orientations. I currently see individuals (16+), couples, and families.

I believe we each have a calling and unique purpose in life, with specific strengths, gifts, and passions waiting to be pursued to unlock our full potential. Oftentimes, through brokenness and hurt, we can lose sight of our purpose and feel weighed down by the heaviness of life. I am passionate about helping others feel understood and find their way by offering compassion. I have experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate the complexities of trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, communication issues, and life transitions, empowering them to emerge more resilient.

I see you trying your best today. Maybe you feel alone in your journey and need a listening ear. I can be that person for you. Is comparing yourself to others making it difficult to recognize your strengths? I see you! Did you sleep well last night? Are you worried about tomorrow? I see you! Do you dwell on the past? Are you missing someone? I see you! Are you holding back tears? Do you wish life was not such a struggle? I see you! Do you cope with life in unhealthy ways you wish you didn't? Are you avoiding something? I see you! Are you feeling lonely? Do you need support? I see you! I want to help you.

Life can be tough! Do you feel like you had it all together & then someone pulled the rug from under you? Maybe you have previously experienced trauma & thought you moved past it. Now you find yourself feeling frustrated, isolated, & alone. Maybe you are finding yourself triggered by your kids, partner, parents, or friends. You love them, but the stressors have caused you to want to take a month-long vacation from them! You have tried dealing with your anxiety, anger, stress, all on your own but find yourself struggling to manage day to day responsibilities and stay afloat - yelling too much, working too much.

I enjoy working with teens, adults, and couples. My role in the therapeutic relationship is to support the client in creating and achieving manageable goals that improve well-being. As a clinician, I walk alongside my clients in identifying distorted ways of thinking and ways to cope with difficult situations in a healthy manner.
