NOTE: I have no current availability, but you can reach out to join my waitlist. Are you feeling anxious or burnt out? Are you stuck or unfulfilled in your career or in your life? Do you lay awake at night and fantasize about a life that's complete different from what yours looks like now - but you're not sure how to get there?

I specifically enjoy working with clients experiencing anxiety/phobias, self-esteem/body image/disordered eating concerns, and stress.

They will have patience with themselves as we explore their concerns while also being willing to make changes for their benefit.

Life is full of challenges that can test our resilience and sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed, discouraged and alone. Whether it is dealing with personal setbacks, facing unexpected obstacles or crises, or coping with the stress of daily life, it is easy to feel like giving up. Despite the trials that life brings, I am here to provide support to those who may feel alone and be a listening ear to those who desperately need to feel heard.

Change is something that we can always rely on. It will come into our lives whether welcomed or not. Being able to find inner balance and develop resiliency can help a person move through these changes. The start of this journey to establish inner balance, whether triggered due to illness, depression, anxiety, stress, or something else, can begin with outreach for support. I am drawn to the human spirit and I love working with individuals to fulfill their ultimate potential. I work to create a safe environment that allows for exploration and vulnerability, the emergence of awareness, strength, and resiliency.

I’ve always wanted to be in a role that helped people grow. I have been a mental health professional since 2010, working throughout one’s developing stages. Initially I began working with children with autism, ADHD, and behavioral issues. After becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor, I transitioned to family-based therapy, supporting the strengthening of bonds and minimizing conflict. Subsequently, I received certification as an Advance Alcohol and Drug Counselor, assisting teenagers and adults struggling with co-occurring disorders.

I work with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, major life transitions (divorce, health issues, career), low self esteem and those who want to have more balance, peace and less stress in their life. I work with couples who are going through the divorce process and want to learn how to co-parent for the well-being of their children. I also work with adolescents and children who are having difficulty with their parent's divorce.
