Through life, you have various goals you are trying to accomplish but sometimes can feel as if you have lost your way. With increasing levels of stress, life can become less vivid than it once was. My goal as your therapist is to get you to a space of empowerment and understanding. Together, we can find ways to regain control, learn what your emotions are signaling to you, explore relationships, and improve overall wellbeing in your life.
I am a licensed professional counselor with valuable experience in an inpatient setting, child advocacy centers, individual and group therapy for both adolescents and adults. I specialize in those seeking to improve relationships with others or self, communication, various traumas, depression, anxiety, and mood dysregulation.
I offer a safe, non-judgmental, place to explore various parts of your ever-changing life and want to collaborate with you on how you want to shape your therapy experience. Please feel free to visit my website for additional information. I look forward to working with you.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. We will acknowledge the need to address root issues as well as make current day stressors more manageable.
