Accepting New Clients! No Wait! Professional Experience Makes a Difference. If you’ve just learned that the parent who raised you isn’t biologically related, if you’re a man struggling to communicate or survive a marriage that’s falling apart, or if you’re the daughter of a narcissistic mother still carrying childhood wounds — you’re not alone. I help adults navigate grief, identity shifts, trauma, substance use, and life transitions using EMDR, trauma-focused therapy, and practical strategies. My goal is to help you heal, not just cope — and to walk with you through life’s hardest truths toward a stronger, clearer sense of self.

Is something keeping your peace? Do you struggle daily/weekly with anxiety and/or depression. Are you ready to move forward and be full of life? Often times we get stuck in our past or stuck in the negatives because it's comfortable and known. It's your choice to stay stuck or to take a chance and move forward. The unknown can be a very scary place but with positive coping skills, my support and encouragement, I can show you how to step back, reevaluate your scenario and prepare yourself to move forward.

I understand that the most difficult step in therapy can be making the first phone call and scheduling the first appointment. It is important to feel comfortable and at ease with the person you choose to see for counseling. I aim to create a peaceful, safe space for my clients to explore and process their emotions or life stressors. While I treat both children and adults, treatment modalities vary based on need.

Simply put, life is hard. We are often dealt an undesirable hand or have unfortunate curve balls thrown at us, making aspects of life confusing and overwhelming. My goal is to walk beside each client as they learn how to navigate the tougher experiences, setbacks, and uncertainties. Each client I see is treated as unique and treatment is centered around their own personal experiences, preferences, and personal goals. My approach is extremely client-centered and collaborative, where clients have the opportunity to take control of their life and have a say in their treatment.

Relationships can be challenging, particularly when one or both partners are neurodivergent. You desire connection, understanding, and ease, yet you find yourself trapped in cycles of frustration, miscommunication, and emotional exhaustion. ADHD traits, such as impulsivity, distractibility, and forgetfulness, can complicate everyday life and create tension. If you're ready to break free from these patterns and build a relationship that feels supportive and fulfilling, I am here to guide you.
