You’re probably here looking for a therapist because there are parts of your life you wish could be better. Are you tired of feeling stressed, depressed, and anything but blessed? Do you need support during a transition time in your life? Is your child having difficulties in school, at home, or with friends? Do you feel sad and wish you knew why? I’m here to help! As a licensed mental health counselor. I offer individual and family therapy to help you and your family reach their goals!

My clients have said that working with me in therapy feels like talking to a good friend, but better. Unlike a friend, I have professional training to help you and have a toolbox full of skills we can use in your journey of healing and self-understanding. I will listen to you without judgement and support you through all the ups and downs of life.

Many people see therapy as a one-sided experience with little or no chance to interact with a real person. I promise you, I'm as real as it gets! I want to help you crush your goals and find solutions to whatever challenges you may face. Calling a therapist can be hard, but take a moment (and a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.

Therapy with me is a space to be fully yourself. I work with LGBTQ teens and adults using EMDR, attachment-focused, and body-based approaches. We'll explore what's holding you back and create a plan rooted in your strengths. Clients often report feeling more clear, calm, and self-connected early on.
