Welcome, I'm glad you've stopped by. Please note I do not offer couples therapy, only individual therapy for adults. If you've been struggling lately to feel good about yourself, your relationships, manage your mood, or you've noticed past trauma is sneaking its way into your current life, things can quickly become overwhelming. It can make it hard to get through the day-to-day grind, and that can leave anyone feeling unfulfilled and even hopeless.

Walking alongside you as you seek therapy is my passion. Helping those who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, caregiver burn out, health care complexities or a life limiting illness that may be impacting your quality of life, is the focus of my practice. Please anticipate some homework as you work with me. My practice focuses on individual counseling but at times, when we agree it will be helpful, integrates other family members.

My goal is to provide you with support and guidance on your journey of healing and growth. I believe that you have the strength and resilience to navigate your challenges. It is a privilege for me to walk with you on the journey of discovering your inner resources and unique path to well-being. I hold a safe, non-judgmental space for you, where you can openly express your thoughts, emotions, and experiences and where we can build a strong foundation of collaboration and growth.

You already possess the ability to reach your full potential. My job as your therapist is to listen, walk alongside you, and help you move toward this potential. People seek therapy because they desire happiness. Let's begin by discovering what happiness looks like for you. Do you feel unheard, dismissed and over-ridden by a parent or partner even though you are an adult? Do you feel as though attempting to set new boundaries for yourself is next to impossible because important others will simply disregard them? Therapy can help you learn to fully validate within yourself what it is you feel and believe, and what it is you consider to be important. Peace, authenticity, and balance are springboards to happiness. My goal is to offer you individualized help in overcoming the obstacles that are blocking that happiness. Taking a step, reaching out for some help, will lead you to the change and growth you are hoping for. And whether you are seeking thriving relationships or simply greater contentment, I will help you tap into your own innate strengths to bring about a fuller, happier life.

I aspire to work with individuals in finding their most authentic self through self-exploration and identity work. I meet my clients where they are in the moment by providing empathy and understanding while also encouraging them to be the truest form of themselves with the inevitable highs and lows that life throws at us. I utilize various different therapeutic approaches to meet the goal of self-growth/evolution including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), existential therapy, and humanistic therapy.

I believe that mental health is an important element in the overall wellbeing of all individuals. I employ techniques based on evidenced based practices; to ensure your services are high quality, ethically sound, and culturally appropriate and sensitive to your needs as a consumer. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, CADC, and National Certification through NBCC I have met high national standards and commit to ongoing quality and verified trainings.

Health is about more than the absence of illness and "the picture of health" is different for every person. My philosophy is that each individual has strengths and values that can be built upon to improve quality of life no matter what your health challenges are. I specialize in helping people find their strengths and then, we work together to create a wellness plan that is realistic and achievable. Together, we can build one for you beginning wherever you are today and moving forward.

This is your place to feel seen, heard, and understood. I value giving people a safe space to share and feel seen. Sometimes we put on a mask to look positive, but underneath we're feeling overwhelmed, worn down, hurt, and discouraged. It can be an isolating experience, coupled with anxiety, sadness, and uncertainty. Although it can be intimidating to begin, therapy is a great place to let your guard down and share what's really going on inside. I'll help you find your way forward, and we'll do it together. I don't want you to go through this alone.

My practice focuses on people who want to enjoy greater peace and more satisfying relationships. I’m pleased to serve children, adolescents, and adults. The emphasis of my work includes treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, interpersonal difficulties, psycho-spiritual issues, ADHD, and child/adolescent behavior problems.

Just like you, my personal journey of being a mom, wife, daughter, and friend has been filled with both joy and pain. As a therapist, I love being able to come together with you, bringing my experiences, both personal and professional, to help create a way forward. I believe that all experiences, whether good or bad, are a learning opportunity. I use strength based interventions with the goal of empowering you to recognize the choices you have in the difficult moments of life.

Life is full of transitions and challenges; one of the biggest is parenting. Whether it’s navigating a newborn, the tempestuous toddler years, potty training, or starting school, having someone to help you and your child succeed with minimum stress and decreased behavioral concerns is my specialty. Anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and mental health affects the family as a whole and I’m sensitive to that. Parenting is hard enough. You don’t have to do it alone. Let me partner with you, your child, and your family on this bumpy road called life.

Greetings neighbors. I am a person-centered therapist. I believe you are the expert of your life, and it’s my job to help you identify and overcome obstacles in life that are keeping you from experiencing true happiness and joy. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are facing difficult challenges in their lives, by being supportive, affirming, and helping identify unwanted and disruptive behaviors and thinking patterns.
