I work with adults, couples, adolescents, and children from 6 years old and up. It's important for you to know that you are not alone in this journey of growth and healing.

I believe therapy heals from the inside out, cultivates resilience and growth, builds a life of meaning and purpose, empowering one to fully engage with life as their authentic self.

What I love about therapy is the journey, helping my clients, as they identify and enact value driven choices, accomplishing goals that promote actualizing the meaningful life in which they envision.

Are you or a family member struggling to cope with the challenges of having a chronic illness? Do you worry about other's perception of you? Do you struggle to stay motivated or remain hopeful? As a family member, Are your efforts to offer support and communicate concerns misunderstood? Living with a chronic illness– or caring for someone who does – can feel overwhelming at times. Anxiety, depression, interpersonal problems, and low self-esteem are commonly shared experiences. If you can relate, then this is the place for you! I’ll help you highlight your personal strengths and empower you to achieve the best version of yourself.

Wellness is having a healthy balance of our mind, body, and spirit. When it’s disconnected, you may feel unmotivated, empty, or dissatisfied with life or relationships. It causes negative thoughts that contribute to feeling depressed or anxious. Exhaustion is another sign of imbalances due to giving too much of your energy to others or feeling like there is not enough time to care for yourself. This results in difficulty in saying “no” to others requests or self-judgement of not being enough. Life may feel or seem to get busier, creating challenges that get in the way of achieving your goals.

Worries and sadness can be overwhelming. Imagine it's your child who is struggling with getting to school, overwhelmed with educational expectations, frustrated with social pressures or discouraged with parental discord. These are some of the various challenges we help children and adolescents manage. We are trained to work with children and adolescents using evidence-based treatment models to manage behaviors and teach new skills.

We have all envisioned some version of our ideal selves. Often times past hurts or traumas can affect our lives so that we act out from a place of brokenness rather than healing and compassion. The dissonance our present selves and who we aspire to be can lead to frustration, depression, anxiety, and despair. If you are feeling stagnant and looking for ways to shift out of unhealthy self-defeating patterns, you have come to the right place.
