"Owning your story is the bravest thing you'll ever do." -Brene Brown Therapy provides a safe space for you to share your story and to pursue growth and transformation. In therapy, your story is honored as you walk the path to healing and wholeness.

Are you feeling trapped, anxious or depressed? You're certainly not alone. Many of us carry within untold stories of trauma and limiting beliefs that keep us stuck. Unresolved emotions can take a toll on both mental and physical well-being. Regardless of where you are or how far you've veered off your desired path, you have the capacity to start anew. As the saying goes, "If you can change your mind, you can change your life." By learning how to communicate with your mind, universal principals and your human potential, I can assist you in living a life that aligns with your aspirations, filled with purpose and significance.

Life often presents us with difficult challenges, and it's not uncommon to find yourself or someone you care about caught in the grip of a disheartening cycle. As a therapist, my mission is to accompany you on this journey, not to change your past, but to explore it with curiosity and gain insights into how it shapes your present. It's a journey where you can regain control over the narrative of your life, whether you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or low self-esteem. Are you ready to face these challenges with resilience and embrace a journey of self-discovery?

You’re looking for a therapist—again! You know you need help, but you’re not sure how another ‘talk therapist’ will offer anything new. Talking about your problems is not working. You want your life to become different, in some substantial way. All the insight and skills you have gained is still not taking you where you need to go. And what’s worse is that you don’t even know what kind of professional has the thing that will help you make the shifts you are looking for. There’s one thing you DO know: that ‘going it alone’ is not working. Also that you are not willing to give up on the possibility that you can have the life you want.

Life brings a variety of challenges – whether it is relational problems, active addiction, sexual behavior, depression, anxiety, trauma, or something else. It is my passion to work side by side with my clients so they can discover their authentic self and find self-compassion as they navigate the ups and downs of life. I work with my clients to deconstruct the stories and stigmas they have been carrying.

What else could go wrong? Why do I keep trying? What's the use? I guess this is just how things will always be. No one understands me. I don't fit in. My family doesn't care. Relationship issues, trouble communicating, trouble processing, or still trying to find yourself? Are these questions or thoughts that you struggle with? Well, guess what? You are not the only one. So, now, Imagine yourself with a huge smile, and gut busting laugh that is authentic and genuine. Not like the ones you have faked for so long. Think of that laughter and smile, without feeling all the anxiety, depression, etc..... sounds great right?

I am a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist and have experience working with individuals and couples, as well as those with a variety of backgrounds, sexual orientations, ages, and cultures with multiple areas of concerns.

Life and relationships can be difficult: therapy gives you a place to be seen, to grow, and to heal. As a therapist, I strive to offer a calm and genuine environment so that you can show up exactly as you are. I believe in a collaborative approach which allows us to work together to achieve your goals and build a relationship that lends itself to emotional expression and vulnerability. In this way we can overcome any and all stresses you are wanting to work through. I have a passion for working with individuals, couples, and families struggling with trauma, anxiety, shame, transitions, and parenting.

I believe that all families, couples, and individuals can be empowered to make change, and finding the therapist that believes in their story can help in that amazing process. Change is difficult, especially when people feel judged or shamed. I value the relationship I have with my clients and work hard to ensure that every client's story is taken seriously, and heard with respect, regardless of the situation.
