I help adolescents, families, individuals, couples, and adults, find healthy perceptions of themselves, strengthen relationships, improve communication/interactions, and find guidance so that they can feel complete, hopeful, and at peace. I understand that no single approach is right for every individual, so I provide an eclectic compilation of what works best for each client. With 16+ years of experience in the field, I’ve worked with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, anger, self-improvement, co-parenting, couples counseling, working through major life stressors, trauma, and helping them find a new path.

As a licensed clinical therapist, I offer a warm and collaborative space for you to freely explore what most troubles you. You may be dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or changing life circumstances.

My role is to attend to you with skill, compassion, and without judgment, so that you can more fully be.

Feeling connected with your therapist is one of the most important parts of any journey of self-exploration. In the mental health services & gender affirming voicework that I offer as a music therapist & pre-licensed counselor, I use a collaborative, nonpathologizing, resource-oriented approach that fosters creative healing spaces for personal growth.

Together, we work to foster the kind of life that you want to be living.

Understanding our life experiences and how they shape our views can be difficult to do alone. Traumatic events or troubling times, no matter how long ago, can bring up harmful thoughts and complicated feelings. Anxiety and self-doubt may be holding us back. Fortunately, it doesn’t always have to be this way. We will work to understand what you need for your own therapy journey. Building a trusting relationship is important to me, and I will be your support as you process what you have been through. Together, we can find balance in your life and bring hope and healing.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 25 years experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families. I believe we all strive to feel a sense of belonging and to master any task before us. I view emotional, behavioral and relationship problems as distress signals indicating that current attempts at realizing important healthy strivings are not working. Repetitive, unsatisfying patterns of interaction can result, leaving everyone involved feeling discouraged, isolated and "stuck". This is usually when folks seek counseling for themselves or their loved ones.

As a therapist, it is my goal to create a safe and welcoming environment for individuals to explore any concerns they may be experiencing. My approach is tailored to each individual client, and I believe that a strong therapeutic alliance can provide a safe and healing space. It is important for me to explore my client's personal history and background to help them understand how it is currently affecting their present situation and how we can collaborate to improve it.

I view counseling as a non-judgmental space dedicated to developing greater understanding of yourself and your life with a trusted individual who is invested in your growth. My counseling style is warm, casual, and collaborative.
