Welcome to the first step towards finding your best and healthiest self! It Is my goal to help you create a space where you feel safe to explore those challenging feelings, thoughts, stressors, and triggers in an effort to show up to the life you deserve! Each time you step into my office it becomes Your Room and I am the visitor. I believe in taking a holistic wellness approach to therapy in an effort to personalize each clients therapy experience. I hope to build a therapeutic rapport where I am able to be authentically myself allowing each client to do the same.

I am an open and compassionate person. I work with clients from many different backgrounds and life experiences. Since every client is different, I use a variety of techniques to tailor treatment to your family. I work primarily with adolescents, families, and couples, but also see adult clients individually. I specialize in teen issues, gender questioning teens and young adults, parenting issues, cutting/self-harm, depression, and anxiety. Depression and anxiety in teens can look very different than they do in adults, so if you have any concerns about your child's behaviors, call me today.

I can work with children, adults, couples, families, groups, & organizations. I have years of experience working with issues including but not limited to mental health diagnoses; couples & families in conflict; unhealthy relationships; grief & loss; trauma & crisis; stress, anxiety, & perfectionism; social & emotional learning; bullying & conflict resolution; depression & self-harming behaviors; life training & social skills; older adults & family supportive care; case management & networking to community resources. I love having the opportunity to focus on building upon personal strengths, healthy relationships & holistic wellness.

I specialize in seeing individuals who are dealing with the following issues: depression and anxiety, Bipolar disorders, relationship issues, childhood sexual abuse/trauma, career transitions, unplanned pregnancy, grief and loss, and behavioral problems. I have training in Biblical studies (a one year certificate in Bible and Ministry) which provides a foundation for Biblically-based counseling. I do treat clients who express a non-spiritual focus.

Are you feeling dissatisfied, overwhelmed, and disgusting? You work hard and you are stressed and exhausted. You feel overwhelmed, anxious, angry, and sad. You work so hard to do what is right but something still feels off. The things you have tried to feel better just don't seem to be working. You are seeking help, support, guidance, and you want answers. You probably have it together, most of the time, and most people would say your life is not that bad. But what people don't know is you feel dissatisfied, overwhelmed, and not yourself. You are discontent and you are searching for a way to feel "good enough". It's not that you're unmotivated to make things better. Maybe you've done therapy in the past, or have tried yoga, dieting, and prayer. But you're not getting enough of what you need on your own, and you sense something better is possible.

I actively work with children, adolescents and emerging adults. In sessions, I draw from a variety of techniques with a patient-centered approach, including: cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, and acceptance commitment therapy. My passion for helping people find their true potential is fueled in my sessions. Uniquely, I am able to achieve this with my clients by taking a holistic approach through mindfulness and self-compassion with each patient.

I know it might not feel like it at times, but being miserable is optional! Life is too short to spend it being stuck in that place... There IS hope, and making an appointment is a great step towards your new future. In addition to working with depression and anxiety, I specialize in helping clients with addictions, eating disorders, and self-harm issues break free from these destructive, but powerful patterns. If you can relate to being stuck in some (or all) of those, I can help! My years of clinical experience have allowed me to work with people of all ages, races, genders, body sizes, and sexual orientations.

In addition to providing individual counseling for teen depression, teen anxiety, ASD, teen self-harm, and other teen-related issues, I also provide teen support groups. Group is one of the most powerful tools in helping teens grow and get better alongside other teens. When teens realize they are no longer alone they begin to see there is help and there is hope and want to be a part of a small community with those who understand. Each teen support group is led by a trained therapist with a small group of 4-7 members and ensures positive productive conversation as well as the development of new coping skills. ​​

With the rise of social media and all the pressures teens face today, it can be extremely difficult to know how to help when you see your child hurting or struggling. Let's face it, kids are growing up in a different world and in complicated times. Many loving parents want to act, but fail to do so because they either don't know how to help, where to start, or who to trust. This is where I come in. I would love to help you and your family find new solutions, have better communication, and discover a pathway to a stronger relationship as well as a more hopeful future.

Looking for a new therapist is not easy, you might not know where to start or who to pick. The secret is to pick someone (after making sure they treat your area of concern) who you feel comfortable opening up to, who you connect with. All therapists will be nonjudgmental, knowledgable and patient to help you through whatever brings you to therapy, it's the connection that you will build that will help you gain the most you are looking to gain from coming to therapy.

I specialize in treating: suicidal ideation, self-harm, substance use/addiction, disordered eating, & emotion regulation concerns that accompany depression, anxiety, bipolar, & trauma/PTSD. There's an exhaustion & isolation that often come with these struggles. Clients I work with may feel trapped in a cycle, simultaneously yearning for change and fearing it. These behaviors & feelings can become deeply ingrained in one's identity, making the idea of letting go daunting. I want my clients to know there's more to them than their struggles. I'm here to support and guide them as they uncover their resilience and empowerment.

**I am currently on medical leave until April 1st** My yearning passion and desire has always been to help others, in every way possible, and the characteristics a genuine counselor should have has always come naturally to me. Overall, mental health has such a negative stigma in our society but I have faith this perspective WILL change. My main priority is to walk side-by-side with each client as they navigate their way towards wholeness & healing (mind, body & spirit) while emphasizing the importance of growth and finding/implementing healthier ways to cope/positively maintain their mental health and life.

Now that your considering the next step, finding the right therapist can be adding to your stress. Hopefully, I can help make this process less overwhelming.

My treatment approach is collaborative, solution-focused, oriented toward solving problems and learning skills. If you're considering making a change but aren't sure if therapy is for you, give me a call and I will be happy to answer any questions.
