My goal is to provide a safe, supportive experience that meets the needs you bring with you into this space. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in trauma, anxiety & depression, and chemical dependency – and in the places where these often intersect. I use a goal-directed approach to therapy, because I want you to feel like your investment is creating tangible results. (And if you’re not sure what your goals are, I am here to help discern them with you). This typically involves a combination of evidence-based treatment, supportive counseling, and foundational cognitive/behavioral skills.

Hello and thank you for checking out my profile page. Reaching out for support may seem daunting, even when a change is truly desired. Maybe you're at a place in life where you realize you have been putting it all on yourself to try work through difficult circumstances. I work with adults to address the traumatic events they have experienced in life. Whether it is an unresolved experience from childhood or a sudden, stressful event that has occurred as an adult, I help to address these issues to find peace within the body and mind.

Counselor, MEd, NCC, LPCA

I am a believer in the human experience and normalizing the suffering that is a part of that experience. I do not take a pathological approach to individuals' mental health. I believe you will suffer within your lifetime and that we can work together to build your capacity for resilience. That being said I understand that some individuals have a chemical imbalance, or may experience psychosis if that is the case we can work together to take the proper steps for your health. Presently I work with children from ages four and up as well as adults.

Psychologist, PsyD

I can help you move toward the life you want. People often have difficulty doing what they want to do. Distressing emotions, thoughts, memories, sensations, and plain old habit push us toward actions that do not reflect our values or our goals. I work with people to improve their focus on what is important to them and overcome whatever barriers keep them from moving in that direction. If you are tired of your thoughts and feelings running your life, I would be happy to help you regain control of your life and start living according to your values and goals.

Life can be challenging, and we are not meant to travel it alone. Each of us, at times, needs another person to walk alongside us as we sort things out. I am honored to serve in this role, working with you through life's difficulties, transitions, tragedies, and triumphs. Very few challenges are insurmountable. Sometimes it just takes some added support.

Taking the first step to come to therapy can be an exciting yet emotional one. Therapy is a place where you are free to be yourself and feel empowered to make changes in your life to improve your overall wellbeing! I have been in the mental health field for several years now and it is my true passion to help navigate the challenges that arise with a mental health diagnosis. I have a direct approach to therapy and use humor when appropriate to help lighten the conversation. I mainly use CBT through our sessions as I've found it offers a large variety of skills that are easy to implement in your daily life.

If you’re here, congrats. Chances are you realize something needs to change. Often times people come to therapy after they’ve already exhausted every resource and option they know. It’s a huge step to ask for help and an even bigger step to show up and take it.

You’ve been together for so long that you can complete one another’s sentences. You know the look in their eye when they’re happy and when they’re angry. Your search for the look that says, “I’ve missed you, come closer to me” comes back void. Somewhere between “I do” and “I did” you’ve been bombarded with the demands of life. As you look back you can see that time has passed by and somewhere along the way you have lost track of what brought you together in the first place.

As a Certified EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) Couples Therapist and Supervisor, I love helping couples find or restore the loving closeness they long for. EFT is recognized as one of the most successful approaches to couple therapy. I will help you identify negative patterns of interaction and explore feelings that perpetuate it so that you can step out of the pattern and create new ways of interacting that promote and deepen empathy, closeness, and intimacy. My clinical experience includes helping individuals successfully grow through challenges such as depression, anxiety, healing from trauma and abuse, and coping with loss.

Feel stagnant in your relationship? Can't stop fighting with your partner? Or maybe you want to strengthen your connection? You love your partner but there are still some nagging issues that get in the way of having the type of fulfilling relationship you desire. Some challenges exist that you two can’t quite agree on. Everything is good, but you know it could be even better. Even though you desire to improve your relationship, it can be scary to reach out to a counselor because you want to make sure you find someone who can really connect with you and your partner, and help provide your relationship with the tools to succeed.
