Greetings! Just like you, I am human. In 2019 I achieved sobriety from alcohol use disorder, and in 2020 I made a career change from being a professionally-trained orchestral musician and private music instructor to becoming a therapist. I bring this life experience to my work as a therapist because I feel it is critical for you as the client to know who you are trusting with your care. Therapy hinges on one core dynamic: the power of feeling heard, seen, and understood by another person. I aim to achieve this by cultivating a welcoming atmosphere free from judgment, and by valuing the inherent worth and dignity of my clients.

Now accepting new moms/post partum clients for daytime, TeleHealth appointments.
Starting therapy can be tough. At Perennial Growth Counseling, I believe the working relationship is the key to helping people feel better and begin to make changes in their lives. Maybe you are going through a major life transition (had a baby, lost a job, lost a spouse) and need some support. Or you've been struggling with symptoms of depression or anxiety for far too long and want some new perspective and a place to reflect. Have you experienced some traumatic events in your life that are keeping you stuck? Therapy can help.

Hi, I'm really glad you're here. Thinking of starting therapy can feel really intimidating, especially if you're used to handling things on your own or talking yourself out of needing support. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and highly capable in a lot of areas of life, but internally struggle with anxiety, depression, self-doubt, relationship stress, overthinking, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. I hope to help you reconnect with parts of yourself, your personal goals, and what's most important to you.

I use evidenced based approaches including CBT, DBT, Narrative, Solution Focused therapies, and other treatment approaches to get to the root of the problem.
I am accepting new clients, (teens and adults) in-person and virtually and look forward to meeting for our first session together. As a therapist with a humanistic approach, I strive to support my clients in their position as the center of their treatment. I strongly believe in a client-centered approach that is focused on individual’s strengths and their capacity for growth and healing. During our first session, clients and I discuss why they are entering treatment, their relevant history, and the issues they would like to address in therapy. Together we identify the approaches that are most likely to meet their needs.

While I work closely with each individual person to develop a customized treatment plan, I utilize evidence-based approaches such as (not limited to) cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed treatment modalities including EMDR.
Life presents us with a variety of stressors and demands that at times may feel difficult to manage. Experiencing loss, depression, anxiety, or memories of disturbing past events may feel overwhelming and prevent us from fully living in the present. Or, we may feel stuck and unsure of what to do next. If you are experiencing similar challenges, I want to help you to process them, identify strengths, and utilize those strengths to heal. I will provide a safe, supportive, judgment-free space for you to share your story, help you to be present focused, and cope with difficult emotions and situations.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with several years of specialized experience treating OCD and anxiety spectrum disorders, I understand what it's like to feel "stuck" in cycles of anxiety, endless worry, and constant "what if" thought loops. Maybe you're struggling with intrusive thoughts, persistent self-doubt, and compulsive behaviors that leave you feeling controlled by anxiety and you just want to feel like yourself again. More than anything, you want relief, clarity, and practical tools that work. You’re ready to stop merely coping and start reclaiming your life with purpose and self-trust.

Hello, I’m glad you’re here. I work well with adults who are self-aware and ready to look honestly at the patterns keeping them stuck. You may feel anxious, low, reactive, disconnected, or caught in relationship dynamics you want to understand more clearly. Often, you have insight yet still find yourself repeating familiar responses under stress. Therapy is a place to look at these patterns safely and directly. I believe patterns make sense when we slow down to understand them, not to judge, but to see clearly and begin shifting them. This work can lead to a stronger, more grounded sense of self and greater choice in how you respond

From non-directive Existential Therapy, skills-based Cognitive Behavioral therapy and Dialectical Behavioral therapy, to marriage/couples counseling, I am equipped to help you where you want changes in your life using a relational and conversational approach.
Do you feel your life is lacking meaning and fulfillment? Are you feeling unmotivated and low energy, making it difficult to get what you want out of your life? Do you often feel anxious and distracted? These symptoms are common and natural to feel in the fast paced and productivity-driven world that we live in, but this does not have to be our reality. In gaining awareness into our internal narratives, behaviors, and thoughts we can learn how to challenge these unhealthy patterns of being by connecting to what it is that we value and find meaningful in our lives.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
