Are your feelings often invalidated by the people you love? Are you frustrated with dismissive responses, feeling disregarded, unseen, and unheard? Are you aiming to make everyone happy but feel your best efforts fall short of their expectations? Do you feel you need to be doing more despite achieving what others may deem as success? If you struggle with putting others' needs before your own, communicating your feelings and emotions authentically, and constantly feeling like you're not doing enough - you're in the right place.

My goal is to provide compassionate therapy services, working in collaboration with you to help you meet your goals and guide you through the healing process. I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of challenges, including dating, relationships, trauma, violence and assault, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, self-harm, and sexuality or gender identity diversity. My background includes victim advocacy and outreach, clinical crisis counseling, animal assisted therapy, and human sexuality education. Taking the first step to reach out for help is not only brave but will be incredibly rewarding.

Struggling with mental health issues is hard. Whether it's depression, anxiety, loneliness, a family issue, or spiritual concern, our issues leave us feeling exhausted and defeated. The last thing you want when you're experiencing hardship is another piece of advice telling you what to do. You already have the ability to make necessary change but may need a little extra support to get you there. I offer an inviting, warm, and encouraging therapy environment to come alongside and extend my partnership to assist you in meeting your therapy goals.

Accepting new clients. We all want to be understood but people who actually listen to us are rare. Many things in the world recently have increased our stress, causing conflicts and straining our relationships. Sometimes we all need a trustworthy, confidential person to talk to who will listen and understand us. For 20+ years, I've provided a safe space for people to talk about their anxiety, fears, and relationships. I listen attentively & without judgement. I work with you to find a way forward in your life. I welcome all people regardless of age, gender, race, sexual preference, gender identity, faith, or ability to pay.

Hey, life can be tough. Some events are out of our control and sometimes we tend to get in our own way. Often negative events in our childhood shape our adult responses leading to anxiety, depression, avoidance, and panic. Whatever the experience you’re here because you’re ready to overcome it. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating.

When depression or anxiety takes over and loneliness sets in, it is understandable to feel hopeless. Sometimes even relationships can lead to unhappiness. In therapy, we will work to address these issues. Therapy is a journey of learning about your past and present self. This self-exploration helps open the doors to a fulfilling and meaningful life. I work with clients to help them understand their strengths and struggles, which creates a platform to achieve their goals. In order to do that, I believe that the therapist-client relationship is a partnership and it is central to achieving significant progress.
