Navigating our way through life can be challenging, confusing, and unexplainable. Are you tired of feeling like you "should be" at some point in your life that you're not? Have you hesitated to seek help due to the stigma and judgement of mental illness? Being a human in this world can feel so hard, and we are not always meant to be on this journey alone. Therapy should be a safe space where we can work together to foster your growth, connection, and strength. You are deserving of support through life transitions, trauma, self-discovery, and self-esteem/trust building. This shit is hard, but together we can do hard things!

The scope of my practice encompasses treating those who experience Anxiety, Negative Beliefs about Self (worth, responsibility, power, choice, etc), Trauma, Body Image and Diet Culture, Life Stress, and Grief. Life can sometimes take hold of us and we feel like we have lost our grasp, I work to help those get a better hold on things again. My focus is on helping you find ways to heal and feel whole again. We often have a lot of unpacking we have to do to heal and feel lighter to move forward. I like to intertwine humor into the treatment experience.

I enjoy working with my clients on cognitive behavioral therapy along with dialectical behavioral therapy, and also motivational interviewing tactics as well. I am very excited to work with clients that have been experiencing family conflict issues, along with anxiety and depression, and help tackle issues in their present day, personal and professional life’s.

Do you seek a deeper understanding of why you do the things you do? Are you struggling but you’re not exactly sure why or what to do about it? Taking the step to explore a better understanding of yourself in therapy, is empowering, purposeful, and courageous. Through an authentic connection and openness, I believe change, growth, and healing can occur. Together, we identify areas that are impacting your thinking, behavior, and relationships, seek out and examine their origin, find meaning, and work towards achieving and practicing new, healthier ways of relating and understanding.

Through telehealth sessions, I endeavor to create an atmosphere where you can feel supported and comfortable to share openly your concerns. I have extensive experience as a telehealth counselor, and am able to make lasting connections and create a fun and engaging experience for those younger clients. Telehealth sessions are found to be just as effective as in-person sessions, and my goal is to tailor services uniquely for each client.

Are you someone who struggles with mood concerns or anxiety? We can work together and help you address these concerns. My ideal clients are searching for a non-judgmental therapist who can meet them where they are in their journey. They are looking for someone who is compassionate and can provide empathy, validation, and overall support throughout their journey to wellness. They are looking to uncover their truth by learning more about themselves and how to help manage life on life’s terms. My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and create a life that is worth living.

Wanting to make some changes, but feeling stuck? I work with you to uncover the obstacles inhibiting you from making the changes you desire and give you the tools you need to make those changes.

I also teach Relaxation Response breathing and other relaxation exercises for those dealing with stress and anxiety.

Life can be hectic, our past can haunt us, and our future can be overwhelming, but therapy provides space for understanding, connection, and communication. It's an opportunity to look at ourselves, our relationships, and our feelings without judgement and allow ourselves to feel compassion, in order to grow. I believe that it's important to live life in the moment, but that we can only truly understand ourselves by reflecting back. My integrative approach guides you in this self-reflection because understanding our family, our feelings and our needs fosters a healthier sense of self and helps us build satisfying relationships.

Connection is one of the most important aspects to a healthy life, and it is vital for any relationship including a successful therapeutic experience. I work to make each of my clients feel known and valued, whether I am seeing an individual, a couple, or multiple family members. Everyone has a unique perspective that comes from their lived experiences. I strive to understand this from each person, and then journey with my clients as they find their way back to meaningful connection and improved wellbeing.
