I help people overcome issues of mood disorders, including depression and anxiety, as well as behavioral addictions. Often the greatest need my clients face is to gain a clear perspective and a solid goal to address their struggles. The goals developed in therapy are directed at addressing the root of the thinking or behavior, not just changing the thinking & behavior. My primary goal is to help my clients reach a point of no longer needing therapy, by giving them practical tools they can use every day to maintain a mentally healthy life.

Often, it can feel like life seems fine. You spend time with family, go to school or work, socialize, and it all looks “like it should.” But sometimes, under the surface, a voice is telling you that you don’t feel alright. It changes how you think, feel and act, until you find it harder and harder to recognize yourself. I am here to help you understand more about that voice: where it comes from, why it’s there, and what it means. We will give you the best chance to succeed by focusing on the best of you, and include your thoughts on treatment as we progress. We will focus on what works for you as confronting what challenges you.

I believe that counseling can be beneficial for anyone in any stage of life you are in. Each person has his or her own individual story. My goal as a counselor is to listen and understand your story, while helping you figure out what you want. Then together we will work towards that outcome. Part of the joy I get from being a counselor is walking alongside people and their own stories, whatever they are going through. I have experience with clients with trauma, substance use, suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
