We all go through stressful periods in our lives. Sometimes it's a result of a traumatic event, such as a sexual assault, loss of a loved one, or difficult life transition. Sometimes it's more complicated to pinpoint. Maybe we are having trouble coping with school, work, or everyday life and are not sure why. Maybe we feel stuck and just feel "off" or not ourselves. I believe that everyone is capable of changing their life and moving toward happiness. Whether you are new to therapy or have gone in the past, I'll work with you with non-judgment and compassion to help to you on your journey of personal growth.

Welcome! You've completed the first step towards healing, you're here! As a therapist I provide a safe space where clients can share their thoughts, feelings, worries, problems or any challenge they may be facing without fear of judgment. Therapy is a journey that will look different for everyone; no one person is the same. Therefore, my approach can be helpful for anyone who feels like they are overwhelmed by negative experiences, thoughts, or emotions. I strive to empower clients to reach their goals

Through the lens of Bowen Systems Theory I work towards providing insight and awareness into the emotional process that we often find ourselves intensely reacting from. Building on that insight and awareness, decreasing the emotional reactivity while increasing calmer and more rational choices. Looking at our emotional patterns to better understand them allows us then to think in a way that can provide an openness to making different choices. To know better is to do better! To understand why we react to our situations and where those patterns have been learned, we can then start to look at each new moment as it’s own.

If you’re looking for a safe place to discuss life challenges and to explore ways to better your overall sense of well-being, then entering therapy may be the right choice for you! I offer counseling for adults going through life transitions, grief-related issues, anxiety, depression , LGBTQ-related issues, as well as a range of other needs. I'm passionate about working with people who are hesitant to ask for help and feel that everyone, no matter who they are, really deserve someone to hear them. Entering therapy is a brave step.
