I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in Individual, Family, and Play Therapy with children, teens, and young adults. I have a passion working with children, young adults and families! I work with a variety of issues including behavioral issues at school or home, parenting and co-parenting skills, adjustment to life changes, anxiety, depression, and grief. My goal is to help children, teens, families, and young adults gain coping skills to manage hard to have emotions, deepen family relationships, and strengthen communication skills.

Are you feeling stuck, but knowing you want something to be different? Are you going through a life transition-- in relationships, identity, parenthood, work-- and need some support? I offer support, expertise, and hope to figure out what you need, what you want, and how to start moving in a new direction. I work with individual adults and couples to manage depression and anxiety, self-esteem and personal growth, coping and stress management, adjustment to life events, and relational issues. Significant change is created through intentional efforts on a daily basis--let's start one step at a time.

Do you wish you and your partner could communicate better? Are you tired of feeling misunderstood in everything you do? Maybe it's time to let someone help. My passion is helping couples build a strong and lasting relationship with each other based on communication, transparency, and respect. I have experience providing therapy services to individuals, couples, children, and families experiencing mental health and relational concerns such as depression, anxiety, premarital counseling, relational conflict, and communication problems. I am a compassionate therapist who works collaboratively with my clients. I strive to help others tackle whatever life throws their way.

My specialty is working with clients in that uncomfy realm between feeling like a kid and feeling like an adult. It’s terrifying for anyone to face their future, but the one handed to Gen Z is particularly frightening. Most of my clients are struggling to find happiness in our toxic world, but there’s hope. Let’s rediscover the joy and peace you had as a kid. You can talk to me about ANYthing, but common topics are anxiety and worry for the future, loneliness, friendships, dating, independence, career, trauma, tech dependence, and self-esteem. You're the expert on your life, so I'll take your lead. Supervised by Faith Ray, LPC-S.

Imagine that you are holding a bottle of soda. Now imagine yourself shaking that bottle. What happens if you open the top? It explodes everywhere! Now, if you take that same shaken up bottle and carefully turn the lid to let a little amount of air out at a time, it will settle. This is how I view therapy, with each shake representing a negative experience, relationship, and/or trauma. Good therapy demands being careful with and sensitive to those shakes, and eventually walking out of the door with a mind, a relationship, and a life...settled.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. The focus of my practice centers around couples, families, and children. However, I also work with individuals from a systemic perspective, which simply means that our interactions with each other have a ripple effect. I welcome anyone struggling with communication and relationship issues, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, issues of abuse or behavioral problems, even those simply wanting to find new perspective.

If you are struggling with anxiety, ADD/ADHD, OCD, learning disabilities, communication and relationship issues, recovering from divorce, or high functioning autistic (formerly ASD), then I am the right person for you. I strive in every encounter to: 1) listen to you in an attentive, genuine, non-judging manner 2) provide conversations that help you change and "re-story" negative patterns or relationships in your life 3) help you learn new skills and ways of thinking that will help you make positive change and 4) always respect your right to be an active participant in the counseling process.

Coming to therapy takes courage, I honor this first step that you have taken. Together we will set and clarify your goals, explore different paths and further your understanding of yourself. Whether you are looking for relationship help or individual therapy, I am ready to walk along side you and uncover your inner strengths and provide guidance to create lasting change and connection.
