I work with a vide variety of adolescent and adult clients as well as couples and families of all ages.

It is a humbling privilege to witness the resilient nature of the human spirit in my work. I support people on their path towards acceptance and peace within themselves and their lives. Life undeniably brings challenges. Anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, low self-worth, and difficult relationships are all normal human experiences; yet, they can feel unbearable at times. Learning to navigate these can be transformative. My goal is to join you in that experience and offer support and compassion along the way.

You're not sure exactly when it happened, but all of the sudden you don't have the confidence you used to have, you're exhausted, and the fire in your eye is gone. You used to have hobbies, things you loved to do, and you used to know who you were and what you stood for. But today, you're lost, you're busy without production, you're overwhelmed, and don't know who you are. You've had so many dreams, but your worries and fears are holding you captive from success. You want so bad to find yourself, your happiness, and your drive, but don't know where to start.

I believe each individual has their own story to embrace, and that by having the right therapeutic support and understanding, an empowered and fulfilled lifestyle can be achieved. I view change and personal growth as an ever-evolving process, and believe that when we begin to understand ourselves and our emotional experiences, true wellness and meaningful change can emerge. I greatly value connecting with each of my clients, and strive to elicit strength, compassion, and healing in our work together.

I take an inviting approach to counseling, and collaborate with my clients in their healing. I believe people to be resilient, and know that we all get “stuck” sometimes. I work with my clients to identify their strengths and resources to get “unstuck” and move toward thriving in their lives. I see individuals from all walks of life struggling with a variety of stressors from depression, life transitions, grief and loss, anxiety, burnout/resilience, relationship strain, to any other issue that could be a road block to living a fulfilling life.

My life-long passion is to help children, adolescents, and families heal. I work with children with a range of presenting concerns including attachment, behavior, mood and anxiety. I provide evidence-based treatments within a caring, trusting therapeutic relationship. I enjoy working with children that are considered "complex" including those who have had early developmental trauma and those who have behavioral difficulties that cause significant challenges. Helping parents to become more attuned and connected allows for healing across generations.
