Are "Moody", "Overly Sensitive", or "Needy"- words people use to describe you, or maybe how you describe yourself? Do you feel like your life is one stressful event after another?

If you are looking for a therapist who wants to help you understand your moods/feelings and improve your relationships, I might be the one for you. Our feelings and behaviors can be impacted by our genetics or trauma. Either way, you can learn to manage them before they manage you!

Connection and relationships are what make humans unique and beautiful. Struggles within relationships can indicate areas of struggles within oneself. My approach incorporates creating a safe space for you to explore areas where you want to change, with knowledge and support that guides you in your to healing journey. Better understanding how our behaviors are directly connected not only to our thoughts, but also our feelings, we are better able to engage in healthy patterns, which often includes setting appropriate boundaries for thriving relationships.

We receive constant messages that if you are not feeling happy something is wrong. But is this fair? Over 50% of us will suffer with a mental health condition in our lifetime! This suggests suffering is not pathological, but rather a universal experience. The fact you are human guarantees you will experience pain. Sadly, sometimes our well-intended efforts to avoid pain can unintentionally lead to more suffering. Across time we can lose touch with what matters to us most and our quality of life goes down. We can become stuck in an unnecessary battle with ourselves, and all the while life continues to go by.

I work best with adolescent and adult clients who appreciate a direct, to-the-point approach. I give lots of feedback and make my thoughts known. This approach tends to open up awarenesses that may have been unknown for a very long time. It is exciting to see this process unfold in individual psychotherapy.

“It’s no use going back to yesterday because I was a different person then.” “Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle.” Alice, from Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. I like to ask my client's "What has happened to you" versus "What is wrong with you." "How can we get you to where you want to go?" I believe each client has their own story to tell. I am willing to join you on your path...

They have a wide-ranging set of issues, needs, and goals. They want to walk with someone on the journey to a better self and improved self-efficacy. They search for a better tomorrow that they can fully participate in.

Hi! I'm a therapist who believes healing happens best in a space where you can show up as you are. No judgement, no bullshit, just real conversations about what's weighing on you and how to move forward. With personal experience in the LGBTQ+ community, I get how important it is to have a therapist who prioritizes providing a space where these issues are welcomed, respected, and addressed. I work with teens, adults, and couples who want a space where they can be fully themselves.
