Hi, I specialize in addressing relationship issues with significant others through individual, couple, and family therapy, including working towards healing relationship traumas. If you are feeling disappointed, hurt, maybe angry, overwhelmed, perhaps confused, lost, and broken, and if you are ready to change that, I am here for you.

I work with adults and adolescents (16 and up) experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, abuse, life transitions, ADHD, and women’s issues.

I view mental health through the lens of the whole person: emotional, physical, spiritual, and relational. My approach to every session is trauma-informed and client-centered.

As far as anyone knows, you’ve got it together. Despite being intelligent and hard working, you just can't shake the feelings of inadequacy- no matter how much you've accomplished. You're not one to ask for help because you think you should be able to fix everything on your own. Maybe your relationships are suffering or you're just plain exhausted and at the end of your rope. Maybe it's time to put yourself first. I help people like you learn how to to relax, prioritize their goals, and realize their worth without having to "earn" it or rely on external circumstances to feel like they are enough.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I use a client-centered approach to work with adults dealing with issues of trauma and abuse, divorce, aging, life transitions, mood disorders including depression, and anxiety.

Life not going as planned? Do you feel stuck moving forward? Are your relationships or marriage suffering? Feeling down or anxious? Do you find yourself pulling away from people and activities you love? Do memories you would rather bury away keep popping back up at the wrong time? Do others comment that you just do not seem like your normal self? Does it seem like you keep trying and nothing seems to work? Do you feel emotionally overwhelmed? Is your sleep suffering? Life is a journey with ups and downs. It does not have to be this hard and you do not need to do it alone. There are ways to make it better.

Are you afraid of change? Be kind to yourself. Take time for you. You have the answers deep within you. Hiding from pain will only worsen the symptoms, behaviors and relationships. I believe each person has the ability to be their own healer. I see treatment as an opportunity for clients to remove the fear in their life and gain peace, happiness and self-confidence. My ultimate goal is to provide a genuine and safe environment. Through mistakes and failure, we can become resilient. I am honored to provide guidance in this vital journey.
