Treatment with me will provide a balance of a non-judgmental, client-centered approach while also challenging individuals to reach their highest potential. I take a biopsychosocial approach to treatment and understand the importance of treating the whole individual rather than just a small part.

Hello! Creating a warm, friendly, and supportive environment is important to establishing a trusting relationship where my clients feel comfortable discussing their issues. I work with clients ages 15 on up who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, and life changes and who desire to improve mood, gain insight, and learn healthy coping skills. I have experience working with people on the autism spectrum as well as people diagnosed with ADHD, bipolar disorder, and PTSD.

The only reasonable approach to therapy is to meet my clients where they are. Perhaps you are feeling sad; Depression or anxiety have affected your daily functioning; Perhaps you struggle with PTSD/trauma; You are in a relationship that isn't working and you would like to mend things or try to figure out what to do next. You are experiencing sexual problems, identity problems, or career problems. I would be honored to co-partner with you to bring you to a place in life where brokenness is replaced by freedom and happiness.

I work with individual adult/child clients and couples who are facing anxiety, depression, life transitions, loss, trauma, ADHD, Bipolar disorder, and challenges at work or in relationships. I have counseled adults, couples, and groups in community-based and school-based mental health, as well as private practice. I have also conducted in-depth research on trauma, hopelessness, empathy, attachment, and intimacy. Above all, I believe that my clients, not I, hold the key to their growth and that emotional pain and anxiety, when given respect and non-judgmental attention, can often provide some of the best opportunities for learning.

I do not believe there is a "typical" client as everyone's situation is unique. I do my best to tailor our sessions to what I believe may help that client the most. Counseling is not a one size fits all or even one size fits most; it is a tailor-fit every time. If you are looking to make a change or take back your life then I would love the opportunity to help make your goals a reality!

My primary focus is to help adults, parents and caregivers reframe, rethink, then refresh their views, opinions, and actions. I enjoy taking research based theories and sharing the information in a pragmatic way. I believe my authentic and genuine interest in helping others is what enables my clients to "flip" their thinking and actions for positive change. I have a passion for helping adults overcome their current stress, anxiety or depression. Helping adults identify and deal with past messages and events that are impacting their current life has been a crucial component of their healing process.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults dealing with generalized/social anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, life transitions/building independent living skills, healthy decision making, grief/loss, and emotion management.
