I understand that powerful life events and subtle life experiences shape the direction of life. Therapy offers an avenue to understand what is happening and provides an experience that can empower you to make choices about your life. Especially, when we are left with feelings of frustration, hurt, doubt, worry, sadness, self-blame, or loneliness. In other words, we become “unhappy.”

I established my private practice in 2013 with the intention of creating a safe space for clients. My goal is to provide person-centered counseling in a non-judgmental, supportive environment. I have a deep respect for meeting clients where they are on their path and pacing therapy according to client needs. My belief is that forging compassionate and positive connections with clients creates an atmosphere where they can best use their own strengths, values and beliefs to effect lasting and meaningful change.

People seek to be understood, not judged, and accepted. This is critical for the therapeutic process to have its maximum benefit. The recovery of the soul is a process that requires patience on both sides and mutual trust. Without trust, the therapeutic process will be limited in its objectives and outcome.

I believe the most important relationship we will ever have is the one we have with ourselves. Yet many of us are never taught how to have a healthy relationship with ourselves and our mental health and relationships suffer. If you struggle with feelings of depression, anxiety, stuckness, people-pleasing, perfectionism, overwhelm, and self-doubt and are ready to work towards building a more solid relationship with yourself, please feel free to reach out.

When the burden of carrying trauma and stress becomes too much, people often feel like life is out of control. These periods of personal struggle can be an opportunity for growth and hope instead of continued hurt and personal crisis. Talking to a therapist offers an avenue to understand what is happening to you and your relationships (ie. with loved ones, friends, family, and of course yourself). It is an experience that can help you feel listened to, understood, and help you find solutions to improve how you feel and live.

With over a decade of clinical experience, my therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in helping individuals foster self-reflection and emotional expression. I guide clients through life transitions and help them process a diverse range of emotions, thoughts, traumas, and complex relationships that may cause distress. For instance, I assist clients in processing feelings such as worry, shame, guilt, fear, and sadness, while also facilitating acceptance, trust, hope, forgiveness, accountability, and a sense of enoughness. My practice is also trauma-informed, ensuring that the impacts of past traumas are validated & safety is formed.

I have dedicated the past 20 years of my life working in Child Protective Services meeting families who are at their most vulnerable and have experienced significant trauma. From physical/sexual abuse, domestic violence, substance abuse, mental health, grief/loss...these are challenges that can change the trajectory of someone's life. Understanding this is what drives my passion to provide holistic therapeutic services focused on healing through resiliency.

Do you feel lost or stuck? Often, we feel trapped in relationships, jobs, commitments, and expectations that don’t work for us, but it can be terrifying to imagine new ways of doing things. My hope is that we can identify and change the patterns in your life that hold you back and leave you feeling anxious, depressed, frustrated, confused, and disconnected. Together, we can collaborate to uncover the potential for change inherent in your passions, values, and dreams. However your story reads today, I want to help you write affirming, rewarding, and exciting new chapters.
