05/13/26- NOW Accepting NEW Telehealth Clients! With 15 years of clinical experience, my aim is to help each client find a sense of peace and contentment with things as they are, rooted in the present, while finding the motivation and hope to move forward, aspiring to new awareness and growth. I have a conversational and down to earth style, and there will be some lightness and laughter even while we do the hard heavy work together. I primarily draw from Eastern philosophy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and other trauma-informed modalities. I'm also a certified yoga and meditation instructor with 20 years of experience.

The ideal client for me is one that is open to connecting with a therapist who will be real with them; a client that is ready to do the work to improve their situation, and is open to hearing honest feedback. Clients that work with me will know that I am a very compassionate individual, who will assume positive intent in others. I will motivate and encourage you to become the best version of yourself! I can be very silly, and use humor to connect with my clients and build connections. While I am professional, I do not take myself too seriously. Clients should feel comfortable expressing themselves however they feel most comfortable.

I work with individuals and families navigating crisis, relationship strain, addiction recovery, and major life transitions. My path into counseling grew from years of helping people through some of life’s most difficult moments—emotional pain, family conflict, and feeling stuck in patterns that no longer work. Those experiences shaped my belief that people can change when they learn to understand and regulate their emotions. Using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), I help clients build practical skills, strengthen relationships, moving forward with greater clarity and stability.

As a Marriage and Family Therapy Associate with a MS in Marriage and Family Therapy, my ideal clients are individuals, couples, and families experiencing relational difficulties that impact their overall wellbeing. I believe that many personal challenges arise from the complex web of relationships we navigate daily, whether they involve partners, family members, colleagues, or friends. My work is grounded in systemic models, including EFT, which allows me to understand clients within the context of their relationships. I recognize that each client's issues are unique but often reflect broader systemic patterns.

Life circumstances can deeply affect us. Over the last two decades, I have walked beside countless individuals and couples facing life changes, difficult decisions, crisis and/or addiction recovery, and the challenge of overcoming dysfunctional behaviors. I have also worked extensively with those seeking to improve or begin relationships, explore career options, and many simply gaining a deeper understanding of who they are.

Why do bad things happen and what do we do with them? Have you been afflicted by loss and grief or need help to find purpose? Sometimes life is hard, sometimes life is unfair, and sometimes the suffering is so palpable that it is hard to see beyond the pain. When the mire of life traps us, often the most helpful thing is a hand to grasp that can help us find our way out. What I often see in practice are people grappling with heartache in some form or another; whether it be the recent death of a loved one, the loss of identity, or simply an inability to sleep. People need companionship to help face difficult feelings.
