Currently accepting new clients! I believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment to allow for an individual to explore, address, and heal. I value the counseling relationship and trust that occurs within the counseling room. I wholeheartedly believe in the individual's capacity to heal and come from a humanistic perspective that places emphasis on the individual to gain empowerment and heal from life's challenges. I utilize trauma informed, person centered, culturally informed techniques and I am committed to traveling on the client’s journey.

You can overcome anxiety and past difficult experiences, including the results of trauma. Often anxiety gets in the way of engaging with relationships or our careers in the way that we want to. Past traumas may come to surface when we find ourselves feeling guarded, overwhelmed, or reliving our childhood experiences, even when we don't want to. If you're seeking a sense of empowerment for your life and tools for managing anxiety or trauma, you've come to the right place.

Often when we’re stuck, we feel as if we’ve run out of options; we don’t know how to move forward. Maybe you’re tired of living this way and you’re ready for things to be different. First of all, I want to commend you. Just by the fact you are here looking for a counselor, I want to acknowledge the amount of courage and energy that took. This says much about how ready you are for a change, and it makes me genuinely excited to work with you. Sometimes we’re too close to our own challenges to see what is getting in our way. This is where I can be helpful.

As your therapist, I am committed to providing a safe space and welcoming environment for you to navigate life's highs and lows with professional support. I aim to understand your unique world and how it shapes you. I view you as the expert of your own life and am dedicated to creating a supportive and collaborative therapeutic environment where you can feel safe to explore, reflect, and grow. My approach incorporates internal family systems, solution-focused, emotion-focused, and strengths-based frameworks. Together, we will collaboratively explore your life to gain a deeper understanding of who you are and where you want to go.

Our relationships can provide us feelings of connection and safety, and give our lives meaning and purpose. They can also bring us pain and disappointment. Is your relationship in trouble? I specialize with issues that can result within relationships, from premarital to divorce, as well as blended family concerns. Whether communication issues, unresolvable conflict, infidelity/affair, addiction, abuse or mental health issues have affected your connection and attunement, I can give you the tools to turn things around in the present and the techniques to provide consistent connection in the future.

Taking the first step to get help and support can be confusing and hard to navigate. This is particularly difficult when we are struggling. I understand this and want to support you in feeling better and getting more out of your life. I believe that the most important way I can support you in counseling is by helping us build a trusting, collaborative relationship where you feel seen, heard and understood.

As a mental health professional, I bring nearly a decade of experience to benefit clients from a broad range of backgrounds. My professional style is holistic, high-energy, compassionate, organized, and solution focused with motivation to assist clients in meeting their needs and develop skills through therapeutic treatment to achieve their optimal level of emotional health. I am available to all individuals at various stages of their mental health journey. Similarly to my choice of approach, the ultimate objective of our time together will differ between individuals, and we can work together to identify your personal goals.

If you're looking for a safe and supportive place to explore possibilities for change, growth, and healing in your life or in a relationship, I can help. Whether you face increasingly stressful life circumstances - feel disconnected from work, family, friends, life dreams - stuck in self-defeating patterns or challenging relationship dynamics - or struggling with self-esteem, chronic pain, or residual trauma - this very moment can be a turning point in a new direction. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, or to talk about therapy, counseling, or herbal consultations.

Are there seemingly "insurmountable" obstacles in your life? Are you feeling sad, lonely, angry, anxious, or empty, but you can't figure out how or even what to change. Whether these struggles have recently developed or have been life-long, together we can work toward changes leading you to a more satisfying, fulfilling, and joyful life. For 30+ years, I've been effectively using talk therapy with couples and individuals helping them to express, feel and sort out their unique struggles. Their clarity, purpose, and coping skills improve, leading to a more vibrant connection with themselves and those around them.

Currently Accepting New Clients! We all face challenges and stressors in our lives; it’s part of being human! However, you don’t need to go through them alone. I’d be honored to help you along your personal journey of discovery and self-betterment. Let’s work together to achieve the life you deserve. I believe therapy is a collaborative process. You’re the expert on your life! I’m here to follow your lead and help build upon the inherent strengths and capabilities you already possess while providing guidance and insight along the way.

My intention for you is to gently but dynamically create opportunities for growth and healing through flexible and creative alternatives to break through old patterns. I like to collaborate with motivated clients who are willing to work to change their lives. My goal is to help you discover your own solutions to your problems and concerns in an environment that is welcoming, empathetic and non-judgmental. I do that by carefully attending to your thoughts and feelings. Although I will offer specific "interventions" I believe that change occurs during therapy when there is strong motivation combined with the quality of our connection.

**Currently full**. I specialize in treating college-age and young professional adults with personal, spiritual, and relational concerns, from a Christian worldview. I am passionate about helping you move from a place of difficulty into one of health, confidence, and emotional wholeness, so that you can thrive in your life and in your relationships, and succeed in the goals you've set for yourself. Particular issues I work with include depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, shame, guilt, abuse recovery, suicidal thoughts, conflict, forgiveness, body image issues, and family issues.

Are you seeking more connected and fulfilling relationships? You can repair past hurts, co-create more positive communication cycles, and feel closer. I'd love to help you reconnect with yourself and the relationships that matter the most to you. We will explore where you feel stuck and work towards facilitating connection and relational equilibrium.

I utilize a wide range of clinical skills to help clients reduce their distress and increase their overall well being. I aspire to create a unique therapeutic approach for each client, based on their needs, personal struggles and goals. Core tenets of my practice are empathy, validation, support and interpersonal feedback. Additionally, I strive to provide culturally competent care. I regularly attend professional seminars to increase my awareness regarding issues related to systems of oppression and privilege.

“Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.” - E.E. Cummings. I view therapy as a collaborative, unfolding process. My approach is focused on providing a secure space to develop a trusting, authentic therapeutic relationship based on empathy, support, and connection. As a therapist my goal is to help you move towards healing and growth.

I am currently accepting new patients -

I specialize in working with teens as they navigate the challenges of adolescence and strive to build a strong sense of self-worth and self-confidence. I also work with families to improve communication and strengthen interpersonal dynamics, as well as with couples to address issues related to trust, intimacy and commitment.

Life can leave you feeling lonely, anxious, and depressed. But you don’t need to stay there. I invite you to inquire within. It's time to reconnect with the wisdom within you. Your body carries information that you haven't tapped into or perhaps don't yet have access to. I'm here to help you realize that the answers are already there. We might just need to shine some light on the shadows (things that have been to hard to look at). Acknowledging and integrating those parts that have been ignored or tucked away can lead to more authentic ways of showing up in your relationships with yourself, with others, and with the planet.
