My ideal client would be a teen or young adult trying to navigate life. They may bring to our sessions their need for acceptance and belonging, needing positive peer interactions, anxieties, and career exploration. We would develop goals together and establish what they want to get out of their therapy sessions. They come with a "want to change" attitude and are willing to put in the work. The goal is for my client to get a better understand of themselves and what is in their control and work on a better them.

I believe that every problem has a solution and that solution lies within the person that is experiencing the problem. Life is to be enjoyed and if you are not enjoying your life it could be because of distractions. It is those distractions that sometimes causes us to feel overwhelmed, unhappy, frustrated and sometimes empty. My goal as a therapist is to help you explore those distractions and become the best version of yourself. It is my duty as a therapist to develop a rapport with each individual and create an empathic, open, understanding judgment, and bias-free environment for immediate and lasting change

NOTE: I am no longer accepting clients due to a change in position. Hopefully you're here because you want something to be different. Sometimes talking to someone who isn't involved in your life can help put things in perspective,help you see things in a new light, or find solutions to the things that get in the way of your finding meaning and purpose. Maybe you just need a listening ear. My goal is to be real and approachable, and to empower you to find healing in your own way. You won't typically find me telling you what to and how to do it because I don't think that works for most.

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure why things aren’t clicking the way they should. On the outside, life may look fine with work, family, and responsibilities, but internally, there’s often anxiety, irritability, burnout, or a growing sense of disconnection. You may be used to handling things on your own, pushing through stress, or telling yourself it’s “not that bad,” yet nothing really changes. Therapy can be a practical space to slow down, get clear, and start moving forward with intention.

I have always had an interest in not only how our minds, bodies, and spirits are connected, but also what takes place when an imbalance exists and then how to implore healing. I look at an individual through a holistic lens, and use this approach, when appropriate. As part of this holistic approach, I have the belief that as a part of the world and universe in which we live, that we are all, interconnected and operate as a part of a dynamic system. I am especially interested in how mindfulness practices, yoga, animals, and nature, might influence the ideas of acceptance and non-judgment, and overall, positively affect an individual

You may be holding a lot—old pain, self-doubt, the sense that no one has ever truly gotten your world. I work with people experiencing difficult emotions, compulsive distraction behavior, and relational disturbances. My approach is parts-informed, somatic, and deeply respectful of defenses as intelligent adaptations. We work collaboratively to build self-nurturing, self-trust, and self-connection from the inside out. If you’ve learned to disconnect, over-function, or question your value, you’re not alone. My approach blends deep attunement with transformational methods. You can learn to trust again and choose new ways of being.
