I believe that all people seeking therapy are truly unique, yet we all have the same basic needs for acceptance, compassion, happiness, and human connection. For some, our early childhood experiences prevent us from getting these needs met as adults. For others, it is simply the stresses and demands of everyday life that contribute to our feeling anxious, depressed or having chronic pain symptoms. Sometimes we experience losses (big or small) which are hard to process and recover from. Often it is a combination of factors that we cannot clearly identify. Therapy is the path toward getting your needs met.

Do you feel anxious or depressed? Are you experiencing life stressors, loss, conflict, change, illness or trauma? When this happens, and coping skills break down, life quickly unravels. Compassion, empathy and ability, paired with a therapist who can guide you to healing, can really help you feel better and improve your quality of life. That person is me, and I am honored to walk along with you on the path to healing. Rarely is a single approach right for healing, growth and change. Rather, I believe in an eclectic approach to ensure one's desired goals for treatment are met.

Do you feel lost, alone or unmotivated? Are you feeling stuck? Perhaps overwhelmed and disconnected? Like you are just surviving? Life doesn't always turn out the way we planned or envisioned for ourselves. Sometimes we go down paths or take turns that we did not expect. This can bring on a range of emotions that we are not prepared for. This is normal, and you are not alone. My goal is to provide a safe space to process these feelings, find balance and manage the stressors that arise in life.

I have spent over a decade in community mental health clinics which has allowed me the opportunity to interact with the many different ways human suffering can show itself. I have interest in hearing your story and working to understand what made our paths intersect. I want to help you understand what’s behind your suffering and work together to help you get back to what matters in your life. I have particular interest and background with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Insomnia (well suited for sleep issues).

I primarily work with children and adolescents who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, school avoidance, and sports performance challenges.

Hi! Are you looking for the right therapist? Maybe you have a struggling teen? Puberty, anxiety , depression and other adolescent issues can leave a parent feeling very frustrated.

My approach to counseling is down to earth and practical. I use a solution-focused approach that builds on the strengths already present in my clients.

"History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived; however, if faced with courage, need not be lived again". Facing pain and brokenness of the deepest kind requires amazing strength and courage!

I'd consider it an honor to work with you as you come to understand your story--whether anxiety, discouragement, addictions, relationships. I look forward to collaborating with you in this challenging, yet rewarding work, as you move toward freedom from any concern that holds you back.

"There is no greater reward for working with youth and adults than to see them develop clarity, warmth and power in their own lives."

Accepting New Clients- Do you find yourself longing for change? You may feel disconnected from what brings you joy or a sense of purpose. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed with life and the stresses that go with it and you just want to feel calm and centered again. You may be experiencing anxiety or depression and feel like it is time to get help. When we are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, depressed or anxious it can make it hard to feel like a good partner, spouse, parent, employee, family member or friend. When we are in the middle of an emotional storm it can be difficult to find the path out by ourselves.
