Does your anxiety or depression feel like an overbearing weight on your shoulders or stop you from fully functioning in your life? You don't have to be alone with this heavy burden. I provide skills and guidance to help you uncover the source of problems, uproot them, and heal. My goal is for you to regain control of your life and teach you the skills necessary to do so.

As a therapist, my engaging approach will support, encourage, and challenge you. I passionately believe that through collaboration, we will reflect on your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and identify your blind spots and pain points. Understanding the way you were raised and relationship dynamics from an early age can help you become self-aware and make connections to how you are relating with others in your life. This increased self-awareness will be our starting point. With my support, you will use your insights to redirect your life to achieve self acceptance and inner-peace that you seek.

Have you been in a “funk” lately with no idea how to get out? Are you sure there is more to life, but are unsure how to find it? Maybe these thoughts are originating from depression, anxiety, or grief and you’re feeling it is time to reach out for help. The good news is that I am here to help. Together we can develop a plan, address negative behaviors, and reduce unwanted thoughts from getting in the way of living your best life.

Seek relief from unconventional grief, emotional stress? Feel stuck on a plateau or desire interpersonal resolution? You've found a safe, inviting environment to explore strengths, identify goals and values, and achieve progress to experience inner healing peace. Mindfulness, spirituality, resilience skills, and positive narrative processes combined with collaboration between patient and therapist can lead to spiritual awareness. Therefore hope can help create meaning and improve interpersonal relationships. A willingness to let go of resentments, bitterness, and familiar strongholds promotes peace of mind and a hope filled future.

Are you looking for longer term relief from pain or anxiety that seems to come back? If so, you have found the right place. Whether you are new to counseling or not, we will work together through individualized, evidenced based techniques to help you from session ONE. Brighter days await you!

We can’t avoid pain and painful experiences but we don’t have to suffer. We suffer when our inner distress catches hold of our decision making and pulls us away from who we are in our hearts and further away from others. I want to help people recognize and unhook from their painful thoughts and feelings so they be engaged in the world in more meaningful ways. I love coaching families with young kids how to help their kids make positive changes very quickly with PCIT. I want to help teens learn how to be their authentic selves - help them not allow anxiety and depression to change who they want to be.

Life is full of ebbs and flows, times when just “getting through” or “surviving” are at the forefront, and other times when it isn’t enough and we want more for our lives. I would love to partner with you on your journey. I am a client-centered therapist who recognizes that every individual is unique. Therapy should meet you where you are, not fit you into a box. I can be a listening ear, help support you through difficult times, and introduce you to evidence-based strategies to help you overcome your struggles and flourish.

Struggling with your child's behavior? Is the behavior causing tension within the household? Behavioral issues are difficult and can cause tension within the entire family. If the behavior or family concerns are not managed, the relationships in the family can deteriorate. I leverage your family’s strengths to grow the bonds between all members. I help children, teens, and young adults understand and manage life concerns. I provide support to parents and couples dealing with difficulties within their lives and family.

I’m a trauma-informed therapist who helps clients heal from their past in order to live a purpose-driven life aligned with their values. I work with teens and adults who want to break free from anxiety, perfectionism, trauma wounds, and negative patterns that are holding them back. If you are finding yourself amidst a difficult time and wondering if things will ever get better, I’m here to remind you that you are not alone. Life’s hardships can make us feel isolated, discouraged and hopeless, but know that help is available, and there is healing and growth beyond your current pain.

Welcome. Unfortunately, we are not often taught how to process emotions healthily, nor are we given the skills to help facilitate this. My unique approach includes cognitive-behavioral therapy and providing actionable skills that clients can use right away. Paired with my strength-based expertise in working with teens and adults, I feel I have a unique approach that helps clients identify and build on their strengths, clarify their purpose if so desired, and then work to build a skill set that allows them to handle challenges that come their way. Thus, allowing for reduced stress, improved relationships, and a more fulfilled life.
