I have experience with a broad range of issues and encourage an honest, relationship-based approach to therapy. We work together to explore the issues most important to you. I believe that everyone is capable of change, though easy to say, it is very challenging to put into action. Therapy can create a safe space to reflect upon your world and history. It is a mindful process to accept and redefine yourself. It is a space to look at what parts are activated in your life and which parts feel quiet.

Currently Accepting New Clients. Life is the journey we take to find ourselves in a search for meaning and purpose. As the roads of life are traveled it is easy to become disoriented, lost, or overwhelmed. Healing can happen when we are able to find our way and reconnect with ourselves and others. I believe this is a collaborative process that is most effectively done through connection and developed awareness. My goal is to help you build a diverse collection of skills to make your journey what you want it to be.

Life is unpredictable with many challenges and changes that occur to us all. Some changes are simply difficult to transition and manage. No one has to do it alone.

I feel that everyone has a need for counseling at some point in life. Just as we have physical health, we have mental and emotional health. If we check in with mental and emotional health needs during difficulties, learning challenges or traumas, we can sustain our overall mental and physical health. Yes, they do go together! I enjoy working with clients who are open to new pathways and perspectives.

Exclusively offering Telehealth sessions at this time. We are wired for love and belonging; however, often we are faced with experiences that leave us feeling lonely, stuck, and afraid to take the needed risks in order to experience connection. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is ask for help along the journey. Therapy is a place where you are able to be still, explore the places in your heart that are left unknown to you, and consider making wanted changes in your life. It can help you heal, develop healthy patterns, find hope, and experience a freedom that allows you to feel more connected to yourself and others.
