This field is where I'm meant to be. Addiction tied to trauma is a passion of mine as it has affected my family and those I love. Getting to the pain attached to that trauma and finding healthier ways to address and process that pain is important and not something that is a "one size fits all." Using compassion, respect, and acceptance, I am able to assist those struggling and help them find a better way of living.

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.

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.-Victor Frankl
Choosing to seek support is a meaningful step, and I'm so glad you're here. Navigating feelings of anxiety, hopelessness, or the impact of past trauma can feel overwhelming when you're carrying it alone. My goal is to create a safe space where you can process your experiences, explore the wounds behind them, and begin to work towards making meaningful change.

What is your why? Who are you when the noise of life gets quiet? When we set aside expectations, responsibilities, fear, and the roles you've spent years playing, what remains?
I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, hurt, lost, or simply "empty". Some struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or relationship challenges. Others have achieved success but still feel unfulfilled. Together, we slow down, explore what lies beneath the surface, and create a path toward healing, clarity, deeper connection, and a more meaningful life.

You may look capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed on the inside. Maybe your nervous system rarely slows down. Maybe you overthink, overperform, or overextend — and still feel like it’s not enough. Or maybe you’re trying to figure out who you are and how to manage the pressure that comes with becoming an adult. I work with people who want more than coping — they want to understand themselves and build a life that actually fits. I specialize in working with college-age students and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, and complex PTSD.

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.

What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
