Usually this manifests in anxiety, panic, depression, relationship issues, and trauma symptoms.
Congratulations on taking steps toward support! Finding a clinician is not always easy, it takes time, and starting is hard! But feeling connected with your provider is one of the most important aspects to create support and change. I hope you find that connection on your journey whether with me or somebody else. Most people start counseling from a place of feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and uncertain how to change it. Some people know what is creating these challenging emotions in their life and other's don't. We will work together to explore your personal factors, determine your ideal goals, and build confidence to achieve them!

I specialize in anxiety, trauma, ADHD, life transitions, addictions, mood disorders, and couples therapy, and I have extensive experience with dual diagnosis.
Do you ever feel disconnected — from yourself, from the people you love, or from the life you thought you'd have by now? Maybe things aren't falling apart, but they're not really working either. You're tired, overwhelmed, and quietly wondering if it's supposed to feel this hard. You're not alone. More people than ever are struggling to manage anxiety, relationships, and major life changes. I work with adults, teens, and couples who are ready to stop pushing through and start making real changes — getting clear on what's in the way, whether that's a pattern, a loss, or something from your past.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, trauma, and significant life changes or adjustments.
My personal journey to becoming a therapist was deeply influenced by my positive experience with therapy as a teenager.

I believe in creating a safe and open space where we can work together, tailoring each session to your individual needs so that you get the most out of our time! Building a trusting, collaborative relationship is so important to me, especially when working with young adults as they navigate life’s transitions.

It can be exhausting to hold everything together on the outside while feeling anxious, discouraged, or unsure inside. You may struggle with persistent worry, low mood, self-doubt, or a quiet loss of confidence in who you are. At times, life transitions, health concerns, or changes in relationships can unsettle your sense of stability. You do not have to navigate that alone.

For 20 years, I have worked in multiple treatment settings including: outpatient/inpatient addiction treatment facilities, and specialized programs treating men and women who suffer with trauma/addiction related behaviors.
Do you find yourself feeling sad or lonely or are worrying all the time? Do you wonder "Is there is something wrong with me?" If so maybe it is time for you to contact me. Talking to someone does not mean that there is something wrong with you or that you are crazy; maybe you are just tired of living life how you have been. I believe that together, we can make this change happen by working to reduce your problematic symptoms, improve your quality of life, and get you to a place where you feel comfortable and happy again!
