Therapy is a collaborative process to improving your well-being. I enjoy working with individuals who are looking to improve their mental well-being as well as relationships and other aspects of life.

In addition to my clinical practice I speak nationally on these topics and work as a clinical consultant.

I work to help my clients in achieving clarity of their strengths and limitations as they attempt to make sense of their internal struggles and their social environments. Through the use of eclectic approaches, I aim to provide a nurturing environment for my clients and families to explore their vulnerabilities and to heal from unresolved emotions. Aside from the role of a clinician, I also assume the role of an educator in teaching my clients about their diagnoses and local resources available to them.

My belief is that healing is possible and that all of us have the answers and solutions to troubling personal questions and stressful circumstances in our lives, but sometimes we all need a bit of support and guidance to find those answers.

I have always had a desire to help others and create less suffering in those around me. As a resident in counseling, I am fairly new to the field, but have over 3 years of experience helping those who struggle with their mental health. I have worked with elementary aged children, adolescents and adults. I have found my niche in adolescent mental health, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, grief, multicultural concerns, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. I tend to focus heavily on the therapeutic relationship and guiding my clients through intense self-exploration. We all have a variety of identities that intersect and make us who we are.

No matter who you are, life is always changing, filled with challenges, transitions, doubts, and sometimes successes. This is the human experience, and you do not have to go it alone. Counseling is an available resource to help hone your natural talents and skills to find vision, motivation, meaning, and resolve through your choices and experiences. With the support of a professional counselor there are no dead-end scenarios. I thoroughly believe in meeting clients where they are at, treating individuals with dignity and respect no matter who they are or where they come from, celebrating differences and individuality.

A part of being human is dealing with things that feel painful. It has been said that pain is inevitable but suffering is a choice. Over my 16+ years of work, I have appreciated helping people ease their suffering and cope with painful feelings and experiences. Through safe, open and honest discussion people learn to invite and foster the changes they want to see in their lives and in themselves.
