If you're looking for a counselor who is laid back, open minded, and brings a sense of humor into sessions then look no further! My objective is to remove all the stigma and misleading ideas about therapy being stuffy and scary so that your therapeutic journey feels comfortable and completely safe. My focus is working with the perinatal population to cope with anxiety, depression, associated mood disorders, and other postpartum concerns. This includes working with and supporting partners of pregnant people as well! I also focus on general anxiety/depression, identity issues, relationship concerns, and major life changes.

I have openings! When an atmosphere of trust and collaboration is created, healing can begin.

It takes time and patience, honesty and courage, plus support to look at one's self and stick with new thoughts and behaviors.

I believe in the importance of building a strong counseling relationship to create an avenue for change. Our initial session together will be focused around exploring and setting goals and seeing if we are the right fit to help you reach those goals. You might be feeling confused or scared about where to turn and how to start. Sometimes it helps to talk to someone who doesn't already know you. Someone who won't judge you. That is why I focus on creating a safe space in which you will feel comfortable.

There are so many reasons to engage in therapy. In my practice I will provide you with a collaborative relationship so that you can learn to treat yourself with kindness, do the same for those you love, develop tools to tolerate difficult emotions, and gain skills to get what you need from your relationships. We will learn about your strengths and develop coping skills to overcome difficulties so that you are better able to overcome addictions, negative relationships, trauma, depression, anxiety and others.

Teenage years and young adulthood can be very difficult to navigate.
