If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. -Wayne Dyer I have a strong passion for the counseling profession, as well as a desire to empower and advocate for every single client.

Talk therapy serves a valuable purpose by aiding your brain in processing challenging emotions during specific moments in your life and enabling introspection regarding associated thoughts. However, what if you find yourself trapped in the depressive, anxious, angry, or shameful mental state for so long that you have nothing new to explore? What if, despite recounting your traumatic experiences numerous times, your low energy, sadness, avoidance, anger, or impulsivity still persists? And what if the somatic reactions triggered by certain events are so intense and rapid that you are unable to employ sound judgment?

Emotional distress takes many forms: low self esteem, depression, anxiety, chronic anger, and/or relationship problems are some of the reasons people come to therapy. Some people who see me are having a difficult time with a life transition or have been unable to bounce back from a significant loss. Some have a history of being traumatized in ways that still impact them, or have problematic and unproductive ways of coping with life's difficulties.

I collaborate with clients to develop effective coping mechanisms, process through life experiences, and accomplish personal goals. My clinical background includes therapy with individual, couples, and families related to trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, anger management, and grief and loss concerns.

I work well with patients struggling with life transitions, relationship issues, anger, depression, and anxiety. As a psychologist, I've learned through my training, research, and personal experience that there is no such thing as "one-size fits all" when it comes to therapy and change.

My clients expect a compassionate space in which to explore their difficulties; unconditional positive regard from me to them.

My clients explore how their experiences in early childhood shaped how they show up in the world on a day to day basis, sometimes in unexpected ways.

My AIM is to aid my consumers on moving from compromised to optimized states. Many individuals I connect with maintain survival and coping mechanisms for years until they choose to begin thriving. Change is often sabotaged despite desire for growth due to uninterrupted Subconscious Cognitive Loops.

Throughout life, it is possible to find ourselves on a journey we believe is impossible to complete. Through therapy, we learn that no journey is impossible; however sometimes we must detour...delay...revisit...or speed up! This analogy speaks to the true essence of therapy, helping others to navigate obstacles that present themselves along their journey. I will partner with you to find your path to a healthy existence despite any detours you encounter.

My approach to counseling is to meet clients where they are, allowing for an opportunity to collaborate with my clients in determining how best to approach their needs. I simply ask that clients go into therapy with an open mind and are open to the process. This allows for guided conversation, with an empathetic, third-party in a completely safe, judgment-free, and collaborative environment. My goal is to provide an environment where you feel comfortable and supported. I have worked with clients both in-person and virtually. We will work on identifying goals that are important to you and help you explore ways you can achieve them.

Welcome! I pride myself on building a therapeutic relationship that allows for transparency and vulnerability. I believe this relationship is the key to effective therapy. It allows me to gain an understanding of your past, present and where you would like to see yourself in the future. Developing this foundation affords us the opportunity to create a client centered approach to addressing your concerns. I utilize a blend of evidence based techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, art therapy, and psychoeducation.

Whether you are depressed, anxious, angry, lost or feeling directionless I want to help you take the next step in finding hope, healing, purpose and joy. I use a strengths perspective to focus or explore what you are passionate about while nudging you to achieve the goals or dreams you desire. I incorporate experiential learning and processing to improve self-awareness during every session.
