People seek therapy for a host of reasons, but the goals of counseling tend to be fairly universal: change, growth, acceptance, and understanding. You may be considering therapy because you feel overwhelmed or dissatisfied about some part(s) of your life. It could be that you are navigating a cancer diagnosis, anxiety, grief, or are caretaking for a family member. Life challenges, including parenting, career, and/or interpersonal relationships may be impinging on your happiness and well-being. If you are seeking a place to talk about your experiences, you've taken the first step in the process of change: acknowledging an issue.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who guides individuals to become their best self. I have helped clients transition to college, fostered a safe space for LGBTQ community members to "come out," valued grief therapy, and emphasized the power of mindfulness, meditation and self-awareness. I have worked with both victims and offenders of domestic violence and facilitated groups for Alternatives to Abuse. I have provided both individual and group Sexual Assault counseling and led groups for both survivors and their significant others.

My goal as a clinician is to help clients cope with everyday stressors including anxiety, depression, life transitions, chronic illness, grief, and more. I have a particular interest in helping those who have recently been diagnosed or are living with cancer, and working to support them through that transition. I have extensive experience working in outpatient and hospital settings with individuals facing a cancer diagnosis and their loved ones. I hope to provide all of my clients with a welcoming environment and safe space to explore their emotions and build on their existing skills to feel more in control of their lives.
