I have 8 years of experience helping adults, children, and adolescents in crisis.
You’ve learned to try and hold it together, to keep going no matter what. But inside, there’s tension you can’t shake: worry, numbness, or a sense that something from your past still lingers. Maybe you overthink everything, shut down when things get hard, or feel like you're always bracing for impact. Even if you cannot name it, you know something isn’t right. You're tired of feeling stuck, but unsure where to start. It's okay to want something different, more ease, more clarity, more room to just be without holding your breath all the time.

Sometimes admitting we need help is the most difficult step, which is why I am so glad you have decided that counseling may be right for you. One belief I hold near and dear is that everyone deserves a space that is solely for them; I hope I can help provide that space for you. Ultimately you are the expert on your life and your lived experiences, and I hope to be able to walk with you and help you to have a sounding board as you go on this journey.

Feeling stressed, or worried, like things aren't making a lot of sense? You are not alone. Sometimes in life it's difficult to see a positive path forward. It is there, though and we can help you find it. Your life can be more what you hope for, less what you worry about. The past doesn't control the present, much less the future. Taking a wrong turn, making mistakes, and needing to heal is just part of the cost of living, part of being human. So is forgiveness, self care and freeing ourselves of the past. We can't change what's happened. But we can start where we are and make the future bright.

I help clients realize what powerful resources they have within themselves to achieve their goals, to solve their problems, and to heal. My clients frequently discover options they did not realize they had. I do this by using a variety of approaches, tailored to the person's past experiences, the issues the client is trying to resolve and the objectives the person is trying to achieve. My goal is to help individuals move toward a greater mind/body/spirit connection within themselves and toward enriched relationships with others.

I love working with cycle breakers — people who grew up in difficult circumstances or were shaped by painful experiences and are ready to do something different. Whether that means changing how you show up in relationships, healing your relationship with food and your body, quieting anxiety and chronic worry, lifting the weight of depression, or finally finding meaning and purpose — you are in the right place.
I work with individuals, couples, and families who are done repeating patterns that were never theirs to carry in the first place. If you are ready to break the cycle, I am ready to help you do it.
