Making the choice to seek help is incredibly brave, and finding a counselor can be overwhelming. I aim to make the process as safe and effortless as possible, providing individual, family, and couples counseling. We all have a right to belong, be respected, and feel heard and understood. If you experience anxiety, depression, shame, grief and loss, have had traumatic experiences, or relationship difficulties, counseling may help. Together we can find healing, promote connection with others, reduce distress, implement healthy boundaries, and process our hurt to create a better relationship with ourselves, our stories, and our world.

All therapists have a philosophy about the nature of people, problems, and how change happens. I believe people have a natural tendency to grow and expand when offered safety and support. People can become "stuck" when ways of relating to self and to others prevent growth. Often our most early relationships shape how we see ourselves, others, the world and our felt sense of confidence in how we might navigate it. "Stuckness" for my clients may look many different ways including, anxiety, stress, depression and/or relationship distress. No matter where you are at, you are the expert of your experience, and all of you is welcome.

It seems we are taught the same general A+B+C equals health, but it’s not that simple. When we find ourselves somewhere in between angry, hurt, ashamed, confused, chaotic, and in pain; there is nothing general about it. By choice or force we have been opened and we find ourselves agonizingly and explicitly pulled in multiple directions at once. These tensions are unavoidable in life and are a part of the human experience. At times we can deal with this on our own, at others we need help raising what we cannot yet see within that offers to not just manage our obscured ailments, but to transcend and operate outside them with others.
