The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination”(Carl Roger’s). Do you feel that your values & needs are out of alignment with how your are actually living? Are your relationships struggling or are you feeling trapped in a cycle that is unsatisfying. Achieving balance and authenticity is an important component of the healing process & my goal is to help clients achieve a deeper awareness, confidence & stability. Anxiety/depression can be unbearable and sometimes immobilizing; relationship problems can weaken our capacity for experiencing happiness; this can leave us feeling hopeless and empty.

As a therapist, my hope is to help you move toward a meaningful, vital, and fulfilling life.

As an insight-oriented counselor, I believe that the understanding you develop in therapy can be empowering and transformative.

Everyone can benefit from therapy, they might just not know it yet. I believe humans are meant to seek help and support from each other. I believe there are people that can help change your life for the better. Maybe you are on a journey of self-discovery. Maybe you need extra support through a difficult time. Perhaps you need help re-investing in yourself. Or, maybe you don’t know what you need, but you thought this might be a good place to start. Whatever your reasons, you have taken a very brave first step in your journey toward more happiness and confidence in your continuing growth and future goals.

I believe in joyful and authentic counseling relationships that are self-rewarding, and allowing of transformations on the client's schedule of healing. At the same time, I invite the universally supportive 12 step wisdom, meaning "I get back what I put into my inner work." I believe people grow fastest when they look to increase their faith and purpose in life, with the love of God and family as a major priority for healing and release of past wounds.

Early in life we learn to disconnect from our bodies and emotions in order to survive and adapt to the environment. Overtime, this manifests as patterns of behavior and self-rejection that though were once adaptive, now only keep us stuck. These patterns typically manifest as anxiety, depression, self-hatred, toxic shame, addictions, obsessions, compulsions, codependency and relationship problems. I work experientially in the moment to get to the root of what is getting in the way of desired experiences on an identity level. Many clients describe this process as a gradual “coming home” or reconnection to their authentic self.

You may be struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, loss or adjusting to recent changes in your life. Let's work together in a collaborative relationship to identify the challenges you face and problem solve how to create more space and energy for joy in your life. I will provide compassionate support in a safe space to guide you in reaching your personal goals.

Do you struggle to stay on track with your recovery? Do you find yourself getting bored or feeling lost in your recovery? Or are you beginning to realize you have a problem? Are you thinking about getting ready? I can help you start where you are and begin to plan for what you need to do when you are ready. Maybe it is starting the journey of change or keeping you on the path. More than that, though, we work to help you become who you want to be and find a sense of purpose in your life. I have innovative and best practice approaches that include in-person, group sessions, and telehealth to help meet any unique needs or challenges.

When we are in pain, we often hold a belief that we are broken. One of my goals as a therapist is to redefine broken and help my clients develop greater self-understanding and acceptance. Much of our emotional distress can result from feeling disconnected from ourselves and others. Therapy can promote connection and personal growth by fostering healthy relationships, developing self-awareness, accepting unpleasant emotions, and cultivating a real sense of hope that we can turn our negative experiences into positive change and transformation.

*Not currently taking new clients* Hello! I provide support to those of us who don't always fit in and have experienced some rough times. Being human is not always easy and it can generate “stuff”.

Let’s get you some tools to break this pattern because you're looking here and you're ready for a change.

I enjoy working with children, teens, college students, and young adults. Working with children, I aim to help them explore and process their emotions, and develop coping skills through play therapy. I understand the complexities teens face in navigating identity, relationships, and academic pressures. I believe in providing a non-judgmental space where they can freely express their concerns and aspirations. I like working with college-age and young adults who are transitioning into adulthood, facing career decisions, relationship challenges, and personal growth by tapping into their potential and navigating life responsibilities.

It won't always feel like this.
