Challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, are made easier when we partner together to explore those experiences in a safe and supportive environment. I have extensive experience working with adolescents and adults in navigating life and accompanying changes.

Providing clinical supervision to developing social workers ensures I stay current
Life is hard! There are so many things to balance and never enough hours in the day. Your mind is always full of worries, to dos, and random things and it seems impossible to shut off the noise. You want to be able to relax and be more present in your life but have no idea how to make that happen. You have read the self help books and attempted meditation, but it did not work. Instead of trying to find ways to be more efficient at doing it all what would happen if you took some time to pause and work with someone who can help you sort through all of the thoughts and commitments? What if you were able to rest?

What I have found consistently in my work is that taking the first step towards a goal is typically the most challenging. When we think about our goals, or just simply our responsibilities and tasks for the day, we can quickly get caught up in a fantasy of what could be. Yet, when it comes to taking actual action, things seems daunting. Although we may know a change is needed, a life of inaction inevitably seems to prevail. As a licensed Clinical Psychologist, it is my goal to provide the highest quality psychological services to those that are tired of waiting and are willing and ready to take action.

There are so many persons struggling with low self-esteem/self-confidence, anxiety, a need to control the people and situations in their lives, a need to "please" or be the "peace maker", who are constantly driven to do more and be more, and who cannot seem to find joy and peace in their lives. These have definitely been issues in my life. At times I felt like I might go crazy. . .but I didn't know how to manage differently so that I could capture moments of peace and solace, without guilt!

Reaching out can feel like a big step, especially when you're already feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just kind of off. Therapy isn’t just for crises—it’s for processing, healing, growing, or even just making sense of things. And sometimes it’s about having a space where you can say what you’re feeling and don't have to explain everything perfectly. You just get to be human.

Looking for a collaborative approach that focuses on discovery of your strengths, determining what "healthy" is in regard to life, work, relationships and wellbeing while learning to live that lifestyle that is my passion!

Choosing to live authentically is an act of courage. Life offers many opportunities to hide our true selves, sometimes even from oneself, often resulting in living far below our capacity. Taking steps to heal, recover, survive, or take life to the next level can be challenging on our own. We’ll work together to understand what you want in your life, what’s getting in the way, and how you can create opportunities to have more of what you want, empowering you to live courageously and authentically. I also have limited appointments for psychological, adult ADHD, and substance use evaluation.

My ideal client is an adult who has experienced loss or trauma and wants to feel connected to themselves, those they love, and their community again. The individual/s may be experiencing extreme anxiety, irritability, or depression and have been trying to keep picking themselves up, but are tired and concerned about what their future holds. They often find themselves using a variety of means to numb such as eating, substance use, gambling, pornography, sex, video games, etc. They experience emptiness and feel that they really have no sense of who they are or what they want and often feel alone and disconnected.
