Is life feeing more complicated and challenging than usual? Sometimes, an outside perspective or someone to walk along with you through a challenge is needed. I am dedicated to helping empower individuals to meet their goals. My approach focuses on developing coping skills, assisting in creating a long-term plan, and getting down in the trenches with you to help find a way out. I am committed to providing a confidential, safe, person centered and nonjudgmental environment where you can openly share your thoughts, feelings, struggles, and goals.

If your relationship feels stuck, I will help you identify & change harmful patterns before you feel hopeless. Afraid of replicating your parents' marriage? We'll explore your fears, improve communication, & work toward more effective solutions. Plan to move in together? Get married? Change jobs? Have a baby? I can help you prepare now for the typical (& your unique) stressors that come with those changes instead of feeling blindsided by them & trying to pick up the broken pieces later. Communication, intimacy, & sexual satisfaction can all be strengthened with some intention & time. I'm licensed to work in Colorado and Michigan.

Beginning therapy can feel like an overwhelming step, but it’s also a courageous one. As a counselor, my goal is to provide a warm, supportive space where you feel safe, heard, and free to express yourself without fear or judgment. Together, we will explore your life's story, working to restore balance and build a deeper understanding of how past experiences, emotions, and relationships have influenced your life.

My clients tend to be experiencing stress and want to find connections between past experiences, patterns of response, strong emotions and current life circumstances. Life transitions can feel overwhelming and loss can become a catalyst for change. This is often the beginning of an opportunity to gain greater understanding of our selves and the meaning we make in our lives.

I have experience working with teens, college-aged young adults, and adults. I specialize in working with individuals with depression, anxiety, gender affirming care, developmental and life transitions, work-life balance, school or work struggles, and improving holistic wellness and mindfulness.

In times of uncertainty, loss, or just in our day-to-day struggles, we may lose sight of who we are and what we want out of life. We all have the capacity to overcome challenges and make positive changes if we give ourselves the time, space, and support for personal growth. When we view ourselves as worthy, purposeful people, we are better equipped to handle life's challenges.
