I have learned that each individual has unique therapeutic needs and because of this, I strive to create an environment where you can discover your inner strengths and resilience in a setting filled with safety and compassion. I believe in a collaborative approach focusing on your own strengths and values. We will focus on internal narratives and beliefs challenges as well as challenging (external) behaviors that may be roadblocks to finding the life that you are striving for.

Do you have trouble getting out of bed in the morning (or evening for you shift workers)? Do you dread going to work? These struggles can come from burnout, anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply carrying too much for too long. You’re not alone, and therapy can help you feel supported and more in control. I frequently work with first responders and helping professionals.
I use a variety of approaches tailored to your needs, creating a client-led space where we collaborate on your goals. In our sessions, you can cry, laugh, vent, or cuss if that’s what you need.

I work with people who have experienced trauma in childhood or adulthood who want to heal from the aftereffects of their experiences. I believe that many challenges you may live with daily, such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and more, may actually be signs of traumatic stress. Together, we can learn tools to manage your traumatic stress warning signs and work on reducing these symptoms to help you move towards the best version of yourself.

I come from a background in education, serving students and families in local districts since 2007, first through teaching and then through school psychology beginning in 2017. Within that timeframe, I have developed counseling skills working primarily with adolescents in the school setting. I believe that individuals thrive within an atmosphere of unconditional positive regard and solution-focused goal-setting.

Next Level -Deep Work!
You’ve done therapy before, got the insight, the skills—but something still feels unfinished. Are you ready for deeper healing, not just symptom relief? Then let's talk!

Waking up to a new day, but it's like déjà vu all over again. The daily grind feels more like an endless loop of the same old routine, and despite the wins, something's missing. It's like living in Groundhog Day, minus the comedy. Behind the scenes, there's a tug of war happening. Success? Check. Anxiety? Triple check. It's a weird mix of "I'm doing okay" and "What am I doing with my life?" that's hard to ignore. Want to find meaning in the midst of the chaos? Learn to stop avoiding the "boogie monster", stop people pleasing, gain perspective, and set boundaries for yourself. Get in the driver's seat again. I see and hear you!

My approach to therapy is interpersonal and collaborative. I strive to develop a strong therapeutic alliance that will allow us to achieve your treatment goals. I have a strong interest in multicultural issues and working with diverse populations. For me, diversity not only consists of race or ethnicity but also consists of sexual orientation, gender, socioeconomic status, religious affiliation, age, and a myriad of other characteristics that make an individual unique. I integrate your personal history (narrative) and solution-focused goals to develop a treatment plan in order to facilitate growth and change you wish to see in your life.

There are many reasons someone may be seeking counseling whether it be for the first time, or to restart therapy. You may not be feeling like your usual self lately; lacking motivation, having trouble making decisions, sleeping too much or having trouble falling asleep, or feeling “stuck” in life. Is your teen struggling in school, engaging in risky behaviors, won't open up about anything and constantly fighting with you? You may be worried about the changes you are seeing and feel like it's time to seek outside help. I help teens, parents and young adults deal with feelings and learn healthy coping and communication skills.

I specialize in working with children, teens, and women. For kids ages 3 and up, I use play therapy, sandtray, and expressive arts to help them transform worry into confidence, sadness into understanding, and confusion into clarity. Play is a child’s natural language, and in therapy, it becomes a powerful tool for healing, resilience, and growth. For teens and adults, our work focuses on moving from survival to steadiness, and from self-criticism to self-trust. Together, we’ll uncover what holds you back and create lasting change that fits your unique wiring.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
