I have dedicated my career to helping teens manage anxiety and self-destructive tendencies, as well as working with young adults on managing issues that get in the way of "adulting." I help my clients to engage in a process of creating strategies around life's troubles.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who focuses on the needs of men in their twenties and thirties. Some of my clients are experiencing interpersonal crises, or require talk therapy as part of psychiatric care, but many of my clients simply find it beneficial to meet once a week and discuss what is going on in their lives. My clients come to see therapy as a way to connect and accept the values and desires that make them who they are, and also to find the power to cast away habits that are not resonate with who they are. The goal is more genuine freedom.

I want to hear your story and help you to write the next chapter. Our stories give us a foundation for where we are at in our lives as well as direction for where we are going next. So, the question becomes, where do you want your story to go?

I'm glad you're here. I believe that success in therapy is all about trust and connection between therapist and the individual. I work from a collaborative, strength-based approach; assisting and supporting teens and adults to be the author of their own lives.

I believe people seek out therapy because they are in need of non-judgement and unconditional positive regard, whatever it is that is causing suffering. I approach all of my sessions this way. So many of us are experiencing burn-out, depression, anxiety, even post-partum and find ourselves feeling alone despite the circle of friends and family surrounding us. That is where I come in. I am here to listen and support you in achieving whatever your goals are and I am always open to feedback as I know that people need to be heard and each person requires a different approach.

Throughout our lives, we all face difficult situations. Human connections are vital to successfully navigate them. I work with children, adolescents, and young adults-helping my clients deepen their connections and relationships in a way that gives them the skills needed to not only work through difficult times but to thrive in the better times. To do this, I utilize a client centered, integrated, and creative approach.

Today was hard. Waking up thinking “how soon can I go back to sleep.” Sometimes you find yourself questioning if you really want to live. You feel so alone and wonder how no one else sees your pain. All day at work you fake a smile. You make excuses to not do the hobbies you once loved. You just don’t feel like yourself anymore. Nothing seems to excite you. Reminders of the past are keeping you from moving forward. You just want to feel different.

It is no secret that stress, unhappiness, and insecurity can hold us back in life. Do you or someone you know feel trapped or helpless, unable to overcome life's daily challenges? We can provide valuable evaluation, support, and/or cooperative training in ways to cope. Our providers work with a wide range of patients including children (5+), adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Feel free to contact us by phone or e-mail.

I offer clients a safe, supportive place to express their needs and listen with empathy and non-judgmental acceptance. I work collaboratively with clients on their journey toward self-discovery, positive change, and healing. I welcome individuals of all ages, including children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have considerable experience in working with trauma, domestic violence, childhood abuse and neglect, depression, anxiety, parenting issues, co-parenting, reunification, suicide ideation, and low self-esteem.

I realize that no two people are the same and as such tailor my therapy to meet the specific needs of my clients. When appropriate, I use specialized training in Clinical Art Therapy to provide additional avenues for the expression and depth work that deep healing requires. I interweave DBT, Psychodynamic Theory and depth work to meet clients where they’re at, provide experienced containment during strenuous treatment and guide them towards a greater life worth living. My practice specializes in treating adolescents, young adults, families and group therapy.

“I struggle to get out of bed.” “I feel like a failure.” “I criticize myself all day.” “I have a hard time taking care of myself.” Life transitions such as moving to a new state, starting college, break-ups or starting a new job can bring unsettling feelings to the surface and make you feel disconnected from yourself and others. When we are together, my goal is to create a safe, calm and warm space for you to find healing and growth. It can be difficult to catch your breath with everything you are balancing. My hope is that our sessions will challenge you but also provide relief and connection.

Are you missing the joy that you once felt in your day to day life? Do you notice your heart racing even while you are at rest? Are you trying to adjust to daily challenges after a recent loss, or lifechanging event? The human experience is fraught with difficulty, however I believe we can work together to help you find meaning and peace in your life. I feel privileged to accompany a person on their journey of self examination, healing, and evolution, recognizing the inherent dignity and worth of each individual and the interconnectedness of all humanity.

Many teens and adults struggle with relationships, anxiety, and depression. Negative thoughts and beliefs about self and the behaviors that follow can disrupt daily functioning and have a serious impact on self-esteem and problems at home, school, and work. Stress, life events, and emotional and mental health challenges can feel completely overwhelming. Life's challenges are hard to take on by yourself and I enjoy helping others move through their journey, discover their strengths, and reach their goals. I love partnering with my Therapy Dog, Rio, and my horses for experiential learning and psychotherapy.

I am passionate about supporting the well-being, balance and wholeness of each client. I believe every person deserves the space and opportunity to let their authentic selves flourish. I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, loss and grief, low self-esteem, phase of life issues, family and relationship challenges, and substance use. I work collaboratively and creatively, walking alongside you on your journey, to help you navigate life's challenges.

My goal is to move you from surving to thriving in life. I help young adults and families struggling with mood disorders, PTSD, communication issues, and addiction. Empowering you to overcome grief, trauma, and stress through somatic experiencing, EMDR, and parts work will allow you to lead a life according to your values. Whatever has brought you to therapy- I encourage you to come as you are. I am an altruistic and creative clinician, whose focus is connecting with you to build authenticity and trust. Humor is an innate part of the human experience, and I invite you to find laughter and play in our work together.

Life can be hard, can’t it?! If life feels hard and you'd like a little more support, I may be a good fit for you. Whether your challenges are due to unexpected life challenges or transitions, anxiety, depression, self esteem, relationship issues, or substance abuse issues, I can help you work through that. My goal as a therapist is to support my clients in whatever life’s difficulty may be and to challenge them to grow and become a better and healthier version of themselves. I seek to understand what my client's individual goals and needs are and work together to feel better.

I believe we have everything we need to heal inside each one of us. I believe we all have the inherent strength and ability to thrive and will do so if given the right venue and treatment. The times when stress and traumas overwhelm us, we can forget our strengths, skills, and insight. We all deserve to have support to cultivate a safe and trusting space to reconnect with that innate inner wisdom. I seek to support individuals who have become overwhelmed in life and want to learn how to get unstuck, heal past pain, and embody their purpose to live an authentic, thriving life.
