I understand that seeking help is not always easy. So the first thing I want to tell you is that I believe that therapy clients are some of the bravest people I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Coming to discuss personal things with someone you've never before met is brave. I realize that you might not feel brave or strong when you seek my help, but I hope to have the chance to help you feel those things. There are several reasons why people seek counseling including relationship issues, depression, anxiety , and fear. Unprocessed trauma is often at the root and can feel like it invades every aspect of life.

I understand that life doesn't always go as we planned. But unwanted changes don't define us. I see adaptation as one of our greatest abilities. I believe that we are all are entitled to unconditional positive regard and to be met where we are at in the quest to live our best life. I use a cognitive behavioral approach to increase insight and help you bring about your own positive changes.

My clients often are experiencing a life that feels without meaning and control. A life that is filled with chronic stress. This stress results from conflict in our relationships and multiple roles in life. At other times,this stress is residue from unresolved life events that have depleted the ability to see through a lens of love. Life then naturally becomes driven by fear. If you are seeking to learn a way to create a life that feels worth living, despite any circumstance. I can teach you the way. The majority of my clients are experiencing anxiety , anger and depression in their daily life.

We all differ in meaningful ways, and therefore, therapy is different with each person. With careful, non-judgmental, and respectful listening, I hope you will feel deeply understood and hopeful, and we will be able to work together in a genuine, collaborative way. I work with adults with different difficulties and emotional struggles like depression, anxiety , trauma, identity, relationship issues, LGBT, cancer, life transitions and losses. Being of an international background and past military service, I value diversity and am deeply attuned to your unique background (cultural, ethnic, gender, sexual orientation) and its effect on your individuality.

Life is difficult and sometimes we need someone to walk with us through the hurt! I am a Marriage and Family Therapist who has a heart for coming alongside those who are hurting and providing a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients. I love working with individuals as well as couples. My goal is to make everyone feel welcome regardless of religion, sexual orientation, or race. I have experience with depression, anxiety , relationship struggles, premarital, grief, family issues and more! We will work together to develop an individualized treatment plan. Christian based therapy available upon request!

Counseling takes time, effort, and courage. Once you experience the benefits, it is a life-changing process. If you are ready to take this brave step, I seek to honor your trust. My counseling style is a blend of compassionate listening and direct communication, with the ultimate goal of imparting healthy responses to times of stress, anxiety , grief, depression, transition, and mental health valleys. I specialize in viewing both the historic, present, and future context of you as a unique individual within your relationships, school, career and family systems.

If you're feeling uncertain of your direction, "stuck" in your situation, and overwhelmed by the daily stress in your life, I would love the opportunity to help. I use several different approaches to therapy depending on your individual needs, and can help by working to identify and change unhealthy patterns, establish positive goals, and learn to minimize symptoms that act as a barrier between who you are now, and who you want to be.

As a therapist, my goal is to build a relationship with you so that I can walk alongside you in your journey to emotional health, in a safe and comfortable environment. While we cannot change dfficult situations from the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve the challenges in your life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a tough time or are ready to take a new direction in your life, I look forward to helping you achieve your goals!

My practice is rooted in the conviction that every living being is worthy of compassion. I believe that everyone has a story to tell, and I would be honored to listen to yours. I specialize in the treatment of depressive & anxiety disorders, and I enjoy working with helping professionals who are facing compassion fatigue or burnout. I believe deeply in the human-animal bond, and I am honored to hold space for anyone who is struggling with the loss of a beloved pet or facing difficult decisions regarding their pet's medical needs.
