As a counselor, I have always been aware of the courage and openness a client needs to be able to seek support and engage in counseling services. I also understand how difficult it is to make therapeutic changes in one's life. I am humbled to be privileged to learn about a client's intimate struggles, and I take the depth of that relationship of respect, privacy, boundaries, and expectations very seriously. My ideal client is anyone open to counseling, receiving feedback, and willing to work together on developing action steps towards change and personal growth.

Many clients decide to come to my therapy practice as they find themselves confronting life circumstances that challenge previously effective coping strategies. They may be seeking self understand and a comforting environment to explore options, some of which they may not have yet considered. Clients want comfort, support as well as non-judgmental objectivity in order to discover their best path forward.

The primary focus of my practice is working with clients who have experienced trauma and/or have experienced issues with substance abuse. Many times, they go hand in hand. This includes people contemplating sobriety, those in early recovery who may need support, those in longer recovery who are ready to tackle some deeper issues as well as those who have been or are negatively impacted by someone else’s substance abuse. This could be a parent, spouse or child. Maybe someone is concerned about your drinking and you aren’t sure you have a problem or not sure you’re ready to stop or are sober and feeling stuck. Reach out for support.

Managing emotional stress related to personal issues, relationships, work, or school can frequently be an overwhelming challenge.

"It is the quality of our relationships that will determine the quality of our lives." -Esther Perel. Why is it that our most important relationships can feel the most challenging and combative? Silly squabbles that lead to distance and instability can cause us to feel lonelier next to our partner than when we’re alone. We feel caught in a loop of endless drama unable to escape the gridlock.

Life is filled with times of transition and times of change. This couldn't be more true than for the life of a child or an adolescent. School stressors, personal identity, family separations, forming healthy friendships, and an overwhelming desire for acceptance are all things that a child or adolescent may deal with regularly. In these moments it is crucial for a young person to feel understood and listened to in order to be helped. Coming alongside a young person in whatever place they may be residing in is where my heart resides. Many times this age group can be overlooked or misunderstood, but their needs still remain.

Sometimes, taking the first step is the hardest! I have worked to take the pressure out of coming to therapy and established a comfortable and inviting practice, from the comfort of your own home.
