Currently accepting new patients for in person and virtual appointments. People are made to strive toward growth.

I provide a safe and welcoming space to explore this process and grow. I have experience treating clients for trauma, anxiety, depression, dissociative identity disorder, sexual trauma, family difficulties, sports performance, difficulty adjusting to life circumstances, ADHD, difficulty communicating, anger and interpersonal conflict.

Welcome. You can create the life that you are meant to live.

If you dream of a meaningful life and are ready to no longer merely exist, I invite you to take a powerful step and call me... and enjoy your exciting journey ahead.

If you are seeking therapy services, you have taken a vital first step in your journey to wellness. Your openness to treatment is an important strength. Your desire to better understand yourself and others will benefit you in the therapeutic process.

Vulnerability and shame is often at the core of most mental health issues. Without treatment, these core issues can frequently manifest into anxiety, depression, and addictive or self destructive behaviors. When our sense of self is fragile and the story we've created about who we are is distorted, it can become extremely difficult to feel fulfilled, connected, or joyful. My goal as a therapist is to help you feel safe and comfortable so you can explore and evolve into living and being the best version of YourSelf.

You might be wanting to make lasting change, but don't know where to start. Daily life may feel like an uphill battle and your emotions may feel big and isolating. You believe your past experiences may offer clarity. Through the tools used in therapy, your story begins to include healing. You are now the creator of a new journey. One filled with reflection, insight, and the boundaries you deserve.

These days, it's understandable to have difficulties with isolation, and having "nothing to do." But are those "difficulties" interfering with your ability to function? Is it preventing you from working as efficiently as you normally do? Have you had difficulty getting or staying motivated? Are you having an issue concentrating or focusing on a task? Parents, are you struggling to keep up with your child's educational performance while managing your own job? Are you having trouble in other areas of life (e.g., substance use, incarceration)? Are you angry/irritable? If you answered yes to any of the above, I can help.

Whether you are seeking change for yourself or wanting to improve your relationships, you have taken the first step. I focus on client's strengths by working collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families from a variety of backgrounds. My expertise is in treating relationship issues, specializing in couple's therapy, life stressors and resolving family conflict. I address the dynamics between people that keep them from feeling emotionally and physically connected, as well as their individual concerns.

Are you someone who is ready to move in a new direction, release past hurts, overcome lifelong challenges? Are you struggling with addiction, depression, grief, anxiety, a trauma history or life transitions such as divorce, job loss, graduation, marriage or new parenthood? Maybe anger and stress or medical diagnosis are your challenge. If so, I can help. We will work together to help you find your way through this time in your life, to find more balance, ease and peace within yourself and your relationships.

You’re worried about your parenting. Maybe you didn’t have the best guidance while you were growing up. You might even tell people, “My parents taught me what not to do”. You want to do better than they did, but you wonder if you’re just too wounded to do that. You find yourself behaving in ways that surprise you- in ways that surprise your kids. You swore you’d “never” do this or that. And yet, here you are. Doing this and that. And you can't seem to stop. Regret. Shame. Fear...Ugh. You might also be feeling confused about why you can’t seem to get this under control. You're terrified that you're "ruining" your kids.

The obstacles that come our way in life can at times seem unbearable and difficult to face. Whether you are experiencing personal struggles or a distressing relationship, I can help. I believe these challenges are experienced differently, and therefore, I offer a therapeutic approach tailored to individual and relationship needs. I am committed to providing a safe and private environment where together we can explore, deepen understanding, and address the problems at hand.

My belief is that we all have the desire to have our thoughts and feelings heard. As we journey throughout life, it is not uncommon for us to hurdle through obstacles. The good thing is that you do not have to hurdle through them alone. Allow me to provide a safe place for you to express and process your thoughts and emotions. My goal is to assist you in learning how to become empowered and authentic during each session.

A trusting therapeutic relationship is essential for successful therapy. It is my goal to develop strong working relationships with my clients based on creating an environment that is comfortable, open, and judgment free. A supportive environment for clients will help to promote overall wellness, hope, growth, and insight as clients develop new tools for meaningful change and growth.

My approach consists of multiple proven techniques and making use of different theorist styles to provide clients with the most beneficial approach. I focus on how thoughts, feelings and behaviors influence and impact one another (referred to as CBT). However, I will tailor the sessions to you and your needs as each client is unique. Currently, I work with adolescents and adults from a variety of backgrounds, variation of issues, and assortment of goals. I strive to offer each of my clients a positive, safe, and trusting place to explore feelings and emotions.

Sometimes, you need someone to help you see situations from a different perspective. Someone that is able to listen with an empathic ear, without judgment. Someone to teach you skills that will help you cope better throughout your day. And that is where I come in. Anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem, body image, ADHD, etc... are all areas I have experience with in helping clients achieve goals that we come up with together.

I provide a nonjudgmental, supportive environment where clients are encouraged to explore and increase their self-awareness, gain perspective, develop insight, and learn to cope, change course, and thrive through life's many challenges. I strive to use evidence-based approaches, interventions and techniques that will be in concordance with your needs, taking into account the different dimensions of your life: Social, Emotional, Intellectual, Physical, Spiritual, and Occupational, etc. I would be honored to be part of your journey at this time in your life. --I also provide supervision for LLPCs looking to attain their license.
