Life can be very hard. We all face certain obstacles that cause us to feel afraid, sad, worried or even hopeless.

I believe working closely with clients to help them reach their fullest potential through developing goals, creating healthy boundaries, and empowering you for change. I use evidence based cognitive behavioral methods to help you challenge everyday thinking that keeps you locked in self destructive or unhealthy patterns, which ultimately diminish quality of life and satisfaction of relationships. It is crucial for clients to understand their issues fully so corrective action and healing may happen. I meet my clients where they are in their lives and incorporate their culture, personal talents and strengths, religion, sexual orientation, and ethnic background into the counseling process for authentic exchange.

Clients love my genuine, straightforward approach. I believe therapy should be a safe space to deal with painful feelings and events, provide understanding and clarity, normalize how it makes sense we feel and behave, and offer useful guidance. When we have a chance to be heard and understood it helps us feel normal and valued. The root of most issues, individually and in relationships, is not feeling valued, worthy, or understood. Anxiety, depression, conflict, and disconnection are symptoms of larger, root problems. They result from shame, guilt, and lack of skills. So much is learned. Sometimes what we learn doesn't work.

I am passionate about helping you to become and embrace your best self. Whether this means recovering from depression, anxiety, trauma, shame, perfectionism, people pleasing, body issues, or relationship problems - or just wanting to be happier, calmer, and more resilient, I am here to listen. It is my belief that simple-to-learn tools including mindfulness, acceptance, and compassion are the building blocks of good mental health and fulfilling relationships. I'm trained in healing trauma by reconnecting the mind with the body through the use of mindful movement.

My role as a therapist is to create a safe, open and empathetic environment that will allow you, as the client, a space to feel secure while navigating with you through life's past or present hardships.

I work with clients ranging in age from preteen to 65+; with issues from anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse and more.

Have you been finding it difficult to navigate through life lately? You wake up feeling overwhelmed, lost, unmotivated, or frozen in place. Every day you hope to start fresh, but you don't know where to start. Sadness, anxiety, fatigue and irritability sometimes impact your relationships with other people. Or maybe it's the relationship you have with yourself that suffers most. You are hoping to manage your stress better. Be happier. Live healthier.

Struggling with trauma or anxiety can affect every area of your life. Sleepless nights, avoiding social functions, and not being able to think clearly, all take their toll. Being tensed and stressed wears you out, or maybe anxiety holds you back in your work or personal life. Others don’t understand or give misguided advice, and you might feel isolated and alone. You keep looking for and trying different remedies and strategies, yet it still gnaws away at you. You know there must be a better way, and you long for the peace of mind and confidence others seem to enjoy. If this describes you, I likely can help.

I will empower you to make positive changes in your life that increase personal connections and help you to feel hopeful about the future.
