The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are. -Carl Yung It is hard when you're told by other people you have so much in life to happy about, but you can't really feel it for yourself. Laying in bed often wondering, "Could I do more?", "Am I enough?", and "Why does it seem like I am missing something?". Asking yourself about these kinds of things are actually brave and courageous thoughts! Many times we feel alone or are afraid to share what we think and feel because no-one wants to be judged or ridiculed. To trust someone with our inner most thoughts and feelings, must be respected and protected.

Let me help you take this step towards healing. I am here to walk beside my clients as I truly believe you don’t have to do it alone. I believe that seeking help is an act of strength. Let me help you empower yourself to achieve your individual goals and enable you to lead a more fulfilling life. I feel that therapy should be done in a safe and non-judgmental space. My clinical style has been described as approachable, compassionate, supportive, non-judgmental, and empathic. I like integrating a variety of evidence-based modalities to enhance your overall well-being. Let’s begin the journey and work together.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed? anxious? or not like yourself lately? If you’ve been struggling lately, know that you are not alone. The last few years have been challenging for many people due to the ongoing pandemic, which has caused a lot of stress, anxiety, and uncertainty. It's normal to feel overwhelmed and to experience a range of negative emotions during these times. However, with the right support, healing and positive changes can occur. As a Licensed Clinical therapist, I can provide you with a safe and supportive space to explore the patterns and behaviors that may no longer be serving you.

If you are looking at this, you have made the important decision to actively seek help, which is the first step to dealing with whatever is causing you difficulty in your daily life. Now that you have made the first step, you need to choose a mental health professional who is right for you. I know this can be challenging, but I believe the most important thing in choosing a mental health professional is finding one whom you feel comfortable with and who you believe will be able to help you deal with, manage, and hopefully overcome whatever issue you are facing.

With 20 years experience as a therapist and a licensed mental health counselor I have gained a variety of skills that allow me to effectively and mindfully help my clients. My goal is to guide my clients to become their best selves, live each day to its fullest, and acquire the strategies we often need to tackle life’s everyday challenges.

I have been a mental health counselor for nine years, offering care to individuals, families, and couples. I provide a non-judgmental space for the LGBTQ+ community, trauma survivors, as well as those working through their addiction and mental health issues. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

It's Monday morning and you pushed the snooze button five times. You just want to stay in bed and pull the covers over your head because life is so overwhelming and exhausting. Maybe you're a parent and have a child or teen who has ADD/ADHD, Anxiety, Autism or a Physical Disability. Perhaps you’re an adult who has ADD/ADHD, Anxiety, Autism or a Physical Disability. You feel so alone and everything you have tried to help your child or yourself has not worked. You just want a magic wand to wave so all your difficulties disappear. Well, you’re not alone! I am so glad you found me and have the courage to be here. Let’s work together!

Life was never meant to be a struggle, just a gentle progression from one point to another, much like walking through a valley on a suny day. - Stuart Wilde

My goal with each client is to empower them through understanding their goals and helping them to achieve them. When we understand what we are able to achieve and express we are able to use our strengths to start making the necessary changes to improve our lives.

Do you ever feel inadequate? Ever wish you had more self-control around food? Do you always feel dissatisfied with your body? Maybe you feel as though you’ll finally be happy once you lose weight, work out more or “shape up.” Do you ever avoid certain social events because of food or fear of comments about your eating or body? The problem isn’t your body, food or your “lack of self-control.” You won’t find help in the newest diet or workout trend. “Just eat” or “just stop eating” aren’t the solutions either. You want to feel at peace with your body and as if you have control over food and NOT the other way around. I can help you.

Choosing to engage in therapy is not always an easy decision for one to make. Whether it be to work on yourself, interpersonal relationships, stress, anxiety, or grief having an external outlet can be helpful. Life is filled with challenges- it ebbs and flows. Therapy can be a useful tool to navigate these difficult challenges and obstacles. Finding a therapist you connect to can add to the initial challenge of engaging in therapy. I strive to make all clients feel connected, respected, and never judged.

Life can be challenging, and you don't have to figure it out on your own. Many factors shape who we are and how we feel, some of which we’re not even aware of. Therapy provides the opportunity to gain understanding of those things in a safe and supportive environment. I consider my part in your journey of self-discovery as a privilege. I understand seeking help is truly an act of courage, which I deeply appreciate and respect.

I help my clients heal the past, enjoy the present, and manifest the future. If you've lost your way, been self-destructive, or are feeling more anxious and depressed than usual, I will guide you to higher ground through a holistic approach. I specialize in healing childhood trauma manifesting as relationship issues, anxiety, depression, body image issues, and binge eating disorder.
