At Adaptive Therapy & Wellness, I help individuals and couples build emotional resilience, deepen connection, and navigate relationship transitions with clarity. Many people come to me when they’re feeling anxious, depressed, stuck, or hurting from a relationship (family, break-up, etc.). Together, we focus on understanding emotions, rebuilding trust, managing attachment fears, and improving communication. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on lasting growth, resilience, and authentic connection.

Do you often find yourself going back and forth about making a change in your head? Is part of you wanting to make that change and part of you not feeling sure or quite ready yet? This is all part of the change process, and you are probably further along than you realize! Sometimes a new perspective and new tools can help us "get off the seesaw" and get closer to the life we want to have. I often see clients who are dealing with trauma, substance use, anxiety, or depression. I work to build a space of non-judgment and acceptance so my clients can be seen exactly as they are without fear, so we can find the path forward together.

Opening up to a complete stranger is uncomfortable, and can even feel impossible at first. That is why I believe in taking the time to develop a genuine therapeutic relationship that can serve as the foundation for meaningful growth. I aim to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly heard. I take pride in moving at my clients' pace while encouraging them to work outside of their comfort zone once trust and safety is built between us.

I see adults, adolescents, middle school children, and seniors.
I invite clients to explore their problems by working to create a safe, accepting environment. Believing that a problem holds the key to its solution, I try to help clients hear what they are saying and pay attention to the way they see things. Symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and relationship problems often echo patterns or concerns we have carried for years. I encourage clients to say what they think and feel so they can accept where they are, see the possibility of change, and take the risk of acting different.

Hello! Considering talking to someone is often the hardest part of beginning therapy. I offer an open and nonjudgmental space for clients to discuss their challenges for the purpose of resolution. I have spent the last 12 years working in the child welfare system resulting in extensive experience working with children, families and the juvenile justice system. I am also experienced in working with various populations, including interracial families, those who identify as LGBTQ+/SOGIE, and multicultural families.

I love the concept of developing "grit". Learning how to overcome the obstacles and emotions that stand in our way. Let me help you deal with the inevitable anxiety and frustrations we face and develop the skills that help you deal with them. Perseverance, flexibility and adaptability gets us farther than intelligence, skill and luck ever will or ever have. If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired...I can help. Some days we need a cheerleader with pom poms; some days, we may need a "kick in the butt" or a nudge. All days we want to feel understood, accepted and validated. I am known as being both direct and kind.

I work with clients who struggle with mental health and/or substance use concerns. I believe dealing with life problems involves building up one's "foundation," and gaining healthier alternatives to work through day-to-day challenges. Open-mindedness and willingness are key, and I can aid in strengthening that foundation.

You've been running on empty: anxious, exhaustd, depleted, and trying to hold it all together. You're the strong one - the helper, the emotional anchor, the high achiever - but your body is showing the cracks. Your hormones feel chaotic. You can't relax. The gut, sleep, and mood are all over the place, you've tried talk therapy before, but it didn't go deep enough, because your stress isn't only in your mind - it's in your body.

Healing from trauma and painful experiences doesn’t have to be done alone.
You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, numb, disconnected, or carrying intrusive thoughts and trust challenges. You might be used to holding it all together for others - while quietly feeling exhausted inside.
In our work together, you’ll find a safe, supportive space to slow down, feel understood, and begin to make sense of what you’ve been carrying. We’ll gently explore patterns, process past experiences, and build practical tools to help you feel more grounded, safe, and in control.

“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...
