Now Accepting New Clients! You’re done white-knuckling your way through this. The anxiety, the constant decision making, the toxic relationships that you've successfully managed for years are turning you into someone you don't like. You feel your life spinning off axis.

I have been working with adolescents and young adults for 15 years. I am passionate about connecting teens and their families with resources to ensure they receive holistic care. I believe that even young teenagers can learn important skills that will support them in living healthy adult lives, and I consider the whole family unit as part of the treatment team. I am also passionate about providing clinical services to women (and those who identify as women). I use a strength-based approach to empower women to find their power and their voice to assert themselves at home, in the workplace, and in their relationships.

You already have the answers you need. All you need is someone to listen as you figure out what you already know or encourage you to make the changes you need. You may need permission to take a step, set a boundary, or leave an unhealthy relationship. Counseling allows you to let down walls, process pain, and gain insight from a trusted, neutral person without fear of judgment. I work with teens, adults, and couples experiencing relational pain, anxiety, depression, and various life transitions - including premarital. You can always reach out, and I can help determine if we're a good fit. If not, I'll help you find someone who is.
