I’ve worked with individuals facing a wide range of concerns, including sexual and physical abuse, family conflict, relationship and intimacy challenges, low self-worth, and depression.

Trauma is my specialty. I work with adults who have experience trauma as a child or as an adult. There are ways to minimize the effects of trauma, but it will never go away. In addition, I work with anxiety and depression. Hearing voices is no problem nor is cutting or self abuse. Its important to be flexible. Much of abuse comes with health issues and chronic pain and drug and alcohol abuse. All aspects much be considered.

To those who know me best, I’m a genuine “encourager” of people—compassionate, yet direct. You don’t have to navigate life or relationships alone. I aim to create a safe and confidential space for children, adults, couples, and families to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and move toward healing and clarity. I have graduate training in both theology and counseling and over 20 years of experience. I enjoy working with people from all backgrounds in a strengths-based, practical way that helps them actually move forward, and I’m comfortable integrating faith for those who want that included.

As a therapist specializing in work with couples, families, individual adults, and teens, I am dedicated to helping clients build stronger, more resilient relationships and navigate the complexities of life with greater clarity and confidence. I particularly enjoy working with clients during pivotal life transitions—such as new parenthood, grief, the college years, and relationship changes—where support and guidance can be especially meaningful. I have spent the last year expanding my training in supporting clients navigating newly diagnosed ADHD and the relational impact of these unique symptoms.

This thing we call life is hard. It is full of challenges, decisions, experiences, and transitions that lead to big feelings and complicated thoughts. The good news is: we can do hard things! I have worked with clients on a wide range of concerns including: depression, anxiety, sexuality and gender issues, relationship and family challenges, life transitions, grief, and trauma. My experience has taught me the vast strength of each individual...our ability as human beings to make meaning out of struggle, to change the things we can, and to accept (often with a changed perspective!) the things we can not.

Seeking therapy is a powerful choice of courage and hope. It’s driven by your tenacious belief that the person you are now and the circumstances you’re in are not the final story. I view therapy as a freeing process of telling your unique story of being human in a context that is non-judgmental and self-curious. Putting words to your story opens a space between you and your struggle so you can step outside the fog of your suffering and address what keeps you from your best life.
