Are you looking for ways to manage depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or grief/loss? Is your substance use unmanageable and causing problems? Counseling is a way to develop the skills to effectively manage the sometimes bumpy path of life's journey. Working from a holistic, strengths-based approach, I encourage and support client's to draw upon their inherent wisdom, by working through challenging transitions. As an Integrative Psychotherapist and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor I draw upon a variety of therapeutic orientations to meet the unique needs of each individual.

Welcome! Often, individuals enter counseling for specific concerns: relationship issues, substance use issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, or personal loss. Other times, individuals enter counseling with goals less easily defined: self-awareness, creating a more meaningful life, or personal empowerment. Whatever brings you to counseling today, I will work to provide a safe space for you to engage in the process of gaining self-awareness and creating positive change.

When a child you care about is struggling, it can feel overwhelming. Young children express their difficult emotions and stress differently than adults. My specialty is communicating with children and collaborating with their caregivers to promote healthy functioning and wellbeing for everyone involved. In my office, you will find a safe, non-judgmental environment. I treat each child as a unique person that is part of a unique whole. I believe there is no "one size fits all" approach. I work closely with caregivers to develop individualized strategies, make changes and accomplish goals that are the right fit for the situation.
