In today’s world, we spend a lot of time alone feeling isolated, whether we're actually alone or surrounded by people but feel alone. This need for connection creates symptoms of anxiety, depression, and chronic fatigue. It leaves us with untold stories and a desire to share these feelings. I enjoy learning about people, which leads to guiding people to learn about themselves. I am a listener and observer who strives to make sure the people in my care feel supported and validated. People who tend to find success working with me have an idea of goals they'd like to meet and want a safe space to share ideas, feelings, and thoughts.

Life does not always follow the script we imagined — and sometimes we're left carrying stories about ourselves that were written by other people, by hard circumstances, or by pain we did not choose. I believe that no matter where you are right now, or how long you may have felt stuck, you have the ability to rewrite your story.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma, and life transitions. I also have particular experience supporting first responders and neurodivergent individuals, including those with intellectual disabilities, offering a space that meets you where you are, without judgment.

Since 1982, I have enjoyed working with adults, children, and couples in private practice and community organizations. I am currently focused on working with adults who are building resilient and satisfying lives after experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, or substance use. Most recently I have been privileged to work with adults who are on probation and who are re-entering the community after incarceration. I bring light-hearted humor into this serious and difficult work. I have experience working with adults with co-occurring disorders of substance use and mental illness.

I pull from various treatment models with an overall foundation in; trauma-focused, attachment based, CBT, psychoanalytic, compassion-focused, person-centered, and a humanistic approach.
You’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and starting to wonder if you’re the problem, spoiler alert: you’re not. Life has been asking too much of you for too long, and now you’re stuck in survival mode. Whether you’re navigating trauma, burnout, anxiety, chronic illness, identity struggles, or just the quiet ache of loneliness, you’re not alone. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about helping you reclaim your voice, set boundaries that protect your peace, and reconnect with the parts of you that still feel lost.

As a person who has experienced the impact of untreated mental health and substance use in life, I have made it my mission to help. I know that starting therapy can be scary. Sometimes, we may know what we want to work on and sometimes we don't. We just know that our lives are not moving in the direction we want them to and something needs to change. I strive to create a warm and inviting space to help facilitate finding out just what that is and what you want to do about it. You are the expert on your life. My job is to walk along side you as you identify and work through your challenges and create something more fulfilling.

Taking that first step into therapy can feel like a lot. Talking about what you have been dealing with, whether it is recent or something you have carried for a long time, is not easy. You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, low, anxious, or just unsure how to move forward and it can be hard to make sense of it on your own.

Counseling should be a welcoming space to build ourselves up from our current experiences and needs. Through a collaborative and trusting therapeutic relationship, I support individual growth, insight, and change. I work with adults and adolescents 16 years and older. My clinical focus is on life transitions, anxiety, experiences of grief and loss, trauma, and well as stress management. I individualized the work done in counseling to fit each person. This can often include learning of new skills, emotional regulation practices, exploring areas of need to invest in, using A.R.T. or tapping for nervous system reset.
