The therapeutic relationship I build with individuals, is my priority. I will work closely with you to create a plan that addresses your personal concerns, needs and goals while supporting you throughout your journey. My goal is to help you restore the feelings of wholeness and well-being in a safe and nurturing environment, while also forging resilience and tenacity.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues? You want it to get easier, but it never does. Maybe you're feeling numb, on edge, or overwhelmed, your relationships are draining, and the stress of COVID-19 is making everything harder. Whatever your situation is, I’m committed to getting to the root of what's getting in the way so you can start building the life you deserve. I have helped hundreds of clients work through depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and divorce. Through our work together, you'll begin to stop blaming yourself and start creating healthier relationships.

Emotions are part of being human.I like to think of feelings as tools; indicators of where we are in life and that it may be time to explore change. All too often we find ourselves wrapped up in situations that evoke emotions so powerful, we can become overwhelmed. Regardless of your situation, I will meet you where you're at & help to identify and utilize strengths you posses as we move closer toward a place of clarity & growth. I enjoy helping individuals make sense of the past, as they work on the present and achieve a stronger sense of self.

Meaning in life can be hard to find when we are struggling to just get through each day, and therapy can help. If you feel empty, overwhelmed or lost, please reach out because you don't have to go through this without support. Let's normalize getting therapy! While I work with many issues, I specialize in mood disorders, adult 'giftedness' /GT issues, polyamory and relationship problems of all types. If you have felt othered or marginalized before, I want to assure you I offer affirming care and operate from an intersectional, inclusive point of view. Currently accepting new clients for virtual therapy only.

Every now and then life can sure throw some curveballs. From everyday stress to life changing events, things at times can seem to become a little more difficult to manage. If you or someone you love is going through a difficult time please feel free to contact me. I have day and evening availability to help meet your needs. My background includes helping children and adolescents (ages 5-18) learn how to process and cope with various types of trauma such as family separation, abuse, pregnancy, and anxiety. I also work with adults and couples who are affected by stress, anxiety, and grief.

I provide individual and couples therapy to older adolescents and adults. My approach to therapy mainly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I have additional training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). While I tend to draw from CBT, I incorporate other styles and techniques to tailor each session to meet the needs of each person I work with. I believe the most important and healing aspect of therapy is the relationship that is created between myself and the person sitting across from me.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience providing solution focused, brief therapy for those experiencing challenges-personal, professional or interpersonal-at any stage of their lives. Please contact me if you or a loved one are seeking solutions to these challenges.

Does it feel like no one is listening to you? Need to get something off your shoulders with trust that there will be no judgement? Feel like you are stagnant in life or cannot overcome a hardship? It takes tremendous courage to decide to escape your (un)comfort zone and find out how you can create a better quality of life. I use evidence-based, therapeutic techniques that guide you toward discovering your hidden strengths, conquering your demons, and enhancing your self-confidence. Our first goal will be for you to walk out of each session feeling self-empowered.

Sometimes we can feel like we are settling for an unfulfilling life, yearning for freedom from the emotional pain that plagues us. We may feel that we are drowning in conflict, depression, and loneliness, as well as feeling scared and overwhelmed. Our wants and needs sound so simple, yet no matter what we do and what we try to change, it turns out to seem like it is just not that simple after all. We crave connection and intimacy, but sometimes our anxiety, sadness, fear, anger and relationships seem like obstacles to our goals, and the changes we want to make in our lives. Talking helps. There is hope, you are not alone.
