I specialize in supporting teenagers, young adults, and adults as they navigate life's transitions, such as college choices, career decisions, and work-related issues.
We could all benefit from an outside perspective during life's stressors. I am here to listen, support, and empower you on your journey to clarity and making meaning from your experiences. Seeking support is a courageous step, not a sign of weakness. Especially during the chaos, it can certainly be painful to feel lost, overwhelmed, and unsure of where to turn whether personally, professionally, or both. My approach co-creates a judgment-free space where you can explore your challenges, uncover your inner strengths, and gently cultivate hope and resilience.

Whether it be work, sex, relationships or a relative's mental health struggle - I can tackle it with psychoanalysis, couples counseling, career coaching or sex therapy.
Modern relationships are HARD. It’s a struggle to find the right person OR to wonder if your current partner is possibly the wrong person. It’s tough when you feel burned by or totally confused about your path. Maybe you’ve even made choices or overlooked things you now regret. Or, maybe it’s a relationship with a boss or coworkers who undervalue you or play favorites with others. Your work ethic and good ideas have long taken a backseat to putting out fires or just avoiding things way more than you should. You’re past thinking that life’s fair. But, you never thought that things could go THIS wrong or get under your skin THIS much.

I've been working with children and young adults throughout my career, and I find that what makes me the most successful is my ability to relate to the things kids/teens are interested in.
*Accepting new clients* Over the past year the way we go about our day to day lives has changed drastically. This has led to an increase in stress, anxiety, depression and feeling overwhelmed for many of us. Children and young adults have been hit especially hard as they have had to miss out on cultural milestones and important lessons in face to face peer interactions that would typically happen at school. These changes have impacted the mental health of so many of us. My goal is to help kids/teens/young adults adjust to these changes and to life changes such as graduating high school and weighing pro's and cons of college.

As a human first and counselor second, I know all too well the struggle of being a high-achieving, career-driven, exhausted, and burnt out professional.
You're accomplished, driven, intelligent, and responsible. People around you know and respect the work you do, and lean on you for support and guidance. You’re recognized for your accomplishments, and pride yourself on your passion for the work. And yet, despite all your success, you also experience fear, disconnection, and burnout. It's all starting to feel like too much. You might be trying to escape the nagging feeling of dread, overwhelm, or sadness through using substances, overworking, or zoning out as soon as you get home. This isn't who you want to be, and you're ready for things to change.

In my 5th year of telehealth specialization, I've added ADHD evaluation and treatment as well as executive coaching/ career counseling that is nationally accessible.
I appreciate the quote, "You don't have to be sick to get better." This reflects my approach as a solution-focused therapist. My ideal client is someone facing challenges like anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles but is also eager to enhance what’s already going well in their life. Together, we’ll not only address what’s holding them back but also build on their existing strengths to help achieve their goals. From session one, we’ll set clear goals, develop personalized tools for immediate use, and create a foundation for lasting success. Change is possible, achievable, and can happen faster than you think.

Career Counseling Therapists
How do I know if I need career counseling?
Determining whether a career counselor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counseling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counselor.
Who can benefit from career counseling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counseling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counseling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counselor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counseling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.
How long does career counseling typically last?
The length of career counseling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking. Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counseling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counselor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.
How to prepare for career counseling?
Clients can prepare for career counseling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counselor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counselor, particularly if the career counselor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counseling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
