Finding the right therapist for you is important. My style tends to be warm and soft-spoken but I can be gently confrontational when necessary. I decided to become a therapist because I deeply care about helping others in meaningful ways.

Life is a complex journey that can bring both amazing highs and life-altering lows. We can be faced with difficult challenges, unexpected changes, and raw emotions that our current coping skills aren’t equipped to manage in a healthy way. While I believe we’re all doing the best we can with what we know, there can be times when support from an outside source can help us learn how to thrive through those lows versus just survive.

You have the ability to activate the change you seek. Like a river, your journey through life can at times be bumpy, going over several rocks, sticks and stones. It can overflow with excessive rainfall or dry up with no moisture. It can be shallow or deep. I believe in times of darkness the light is found within. Counseling can help you find peace inside yourself so that your river may never stop flowing. The counseling process is unique to every individual and is designed to encourage maximum growth within a supportive environment. Together we will identify goals and potential solutions to problems which cause emotional turmoil.

Hi! I'm so glad you are seeking support. We don't have to do this life alone (even if we want to, and trusting people feels impossible). As a therapist for almost 20 years, I love working with people experiencing ADHD, midlife transitions, anxiety, sober curious, and LGBTQIA. I think we can figure it out together.

We question ourselves and our direction. Perhaps we question our sexuality. We don't need someone to tell us what to do, just a person to process things with, to help us find our way...
