Being human can be hard—sometimes overwhelmingly so. You might be feeling stuck in anxious thoughts, weighed down by depression, or noticing patterns in your behavior or relationships that you’d like to change. Whether you're seeking relief, clarity, or a better understanding of yourself, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
I work with both children and adults facing anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges. Some clients come in feeling overwhelmed and in need of immediate support, while others feel generally okay but want to better understand themselves or improve how they relate to others.

I work to create a safe, caring, accepting environment where we can deepen your understanding of yourself and foster a growth lifestyle.

My goal is to help you work through life's messes, discover the beauty of forgiveness, mine the depths of true joy, teach the art of grieving well and to help you discover your most authentic self.

There is a time in all our lives when it feels that nobody understands, somebody fails to listen, and we feel we have to figure it out by ourselves and that doesn't work either. Finding yourself in that desperate place is an appropriate time to tell your story to a therapist who desires to listen and help you understand where you've been and come along side you to assist you in knowing where you want to go. Courageously step toward the therapy process and embrace the hope that reminds you that you don't have to stay stuck or remain in the dark.

I am passionate about helping couples create deeper connection than they ever knew possible. I also enjoy working with individuals in all stages of life. My favorite moments are when a client says, "This is new." Many enter counseling feeling stuck in old patterns, and new experiences provide hope for healing. My practice is currently full for regular weekly clients. However, I specialize in 3-day weekend intensives with couples and I take on 1-2 new couples (from in- or out-of-state) per month for this work. Follow up work is required after the 3 days in order to continue momentum and create lasting change.

Growing up can be challenging, and sometimes children and teens need a safe space to process emotions, life experiences, and difficult situations. I work with children and adolescents (ages 5–17) experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, emotional regulation difficulties, behavioral challenges, grief, trauma, bullying, identity development, family conflict, school concerns, and self-esteem struggles.

I believe what is most effective in therapy is finding someone who makes you feel truly seen and heard. Finding one's voice is challenging enough, and going unheard or misunderstood can be incredibly lonely and can alter our perceptions of our lives, our futures, and ourselves. I enjoy supporting others in finding their voice and rediscovering who they are through each chapter they encounter in their lives. The therapy journey can be long and on-going but is worth every step of effort to reach the level of healing and confidence we all deserve.
