I believe in the power of vulnerability and sharing with an unbiased party, which is where therapy starts. I also believe in the power of feeling seen and heard.

Biologically I believe we are not hard wired for change, and healing takes time. My insight-oriented and solution-focused approaches help with a range of core issues.

The capacity to feel vulnerable is shared by all human beings. Vulnerability is often equated with weakness and because of such a mindset many of us spend our lives shielding ourselves from leaning into any one emotion too intently. From that fear and discomfort we begin to invalidate many aspects of the human condition. My goal with the individuals I work with is to help them embrace the opportunity to view vulnerability as an opportunity to build resiliency. I have a very organic process to developing a therapeutic relationship and if nothing else I would like individuals to walk away feeling seen and heard.

It’s okay to not be okay but don’t settle for a lifetime of not being okay! Do you struggle with intense emotions? Do your emotions interfere with school, work, or interpersonal relationships? Do you have a history of trauma that have caused you to feel abandoned, hopeless, or empty? Do you struggle with Behavioral issues that cause harm to yourself or others? Do you have current or past life challenges that have been difficult to overcome? If the answer is yes to any of those questions, you are in the right place!

Navigating life’s ups and downs can be as much a challenge as it is a privilege. The support of a caring presence outside your circle of daily influence can help as you move through the sticky spots.

There are times in life when we face obstacles and transitions that challenge our ability to adapt and cope in healthy and effective ways. This leaves us feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and defeated. I am deeply passionate about helping children (ages 8+), adolescents and adults adjust to life transitions. I work closely with clients to help them develop and utilize healthy coping skills. Through a solution-focused lens, I assist clients to view the problem from a new perspective. I provide an authentic experience that challenges clients to push past the feeling of being "stuck" and learn to let go of things you cannot change.

Life can be difficult at times, right? But who says we have to go through those times alone. I know talking to your friends or parents might help for a second, but you might not even feel comfortable sharing with anyone what you are going through. Seeking therapy to assist you on your journey to coping and healing is a big step, so applaud yourself for taking this initiative. I’m here to help you on that journey, whatever stage you may be in. I provide individual and family counseling for adolescents and young adults using person-centered, solution-focused, strength-based, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

My approach is solution-focused because I believe there is a solution to every problem and we will work together to figure it out. I work with clients of all ages to address issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, communication, relationships, decision making and impulse control.

Daytime openings (virtual) Wed, Thurs, Fri…... As a counselor I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space where you can be heard and supported. I approach counseling as a collaboration between counselor and client. You bring your unique life experience; what is working for you and what isn't. I bring a supportive, outside perspective and clinical strategies/tools for addressing problems and making positive changes.
