Hi! I’m Sommer. I'm a licensed professional counselor who specializes in working with adults struggling with OCD, anxiety, depression, phobias, and more. I offer a nonjudgmental perspective and allow you to take the time to assess your well-being. I attempt to help you implement gradual change as opposed to trying to change everything at once. You can expect a warm and empathetic approach that allows you to share at your own pace. I am passionate about this work because I believe everyone deserves the chance to build the life they desire.

Waitlist for new clients
Frustrated. Heart-broken. Hopeless. Exhausted. Life and relationships can feel daunting. You may want a stronger relationship with your partner but feel out of sync. You want deeper connections with the people in your life, but past experiences hold you back, telling you not to trust anyone. You want to feel secure and empowered, but you feel broken or defeated.

I’m a licensed clinical mental health counselor who believes therapy should feel safe, honest, and genuinely supportive—not clinical, stiff, or judgmental. I work with clients who feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck carrying things they’ve had to manage on their own for a long time. Many of the people I work with have experienced anxiety, trauma, complicated family dynamics, relationship stress, or long-standing patterns rooted in earlier life experiences.

If you or your family are struggling with issues like substance abuse, addiction, eating disorders, or relationship conflicts (infidelity, communication problems, etc.), therapy can be a great way to deal with those struggles. Most people struggle without support for longer than is helpful. People have the innate skills to cope and bounce back from their struggles. My goal as a therapist is to provide a non-judgmental space for you to identify and grow the tools to work on those struggles.

Exhausted. Disconnected. Stressed. Broken. You have been through a lot. When life feels heavy, asking a stranger for help takes immense courage.

“If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can’t survive” -Brené Brown. Thank you so much for visiting my site. What I have learned about being a human, let alone a therapist, is that everybody has a story. My job is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to tell your story. Life can be very difficult for a multitude of reasons. Sometimes these struggles can feel overwhelming, leaving us confused and hopeless.
