I have worked with a wide variety of people over the years, and have come to recognize both the commonalities in what makes all of us human, but yet uniquely individual at the same time. These commonalities and differences can both sustain us and frustrate us as we seek meaningful engagement with life and others through work, relationships, and continued self-growth. Often people experience internal stress and anxiety as they feel the push and pull between loneliness on the one hand, and the inevitable mix of emotional challenges that can come with attachment with others.

I provide individual counseling to adults. My clients are diverse and initiate therapy for an array of reasons. Counseling is a place where you are validated and encouraged to be the person you are and create the life you want to live.

I work with individuals in uncovering and building upon their innate strengths and helping them to live more fulfilled and authentic lives.

If you feel overwhelmed by life, (i.e. the state of the world, your relationships, school, job, church) , you are not alone. It is difficult to be a human in this world.

Young adulthood is an exciting time, but it can also be an overwhelming experience. Many young adults experience social anxiety as they focus on new friendships and dating. Others stress about surviving college or committing to a career path. Faith issues become a source of concern for some. For those who are married or in a relationship, connecting with another person emotionally and intimately can be a struggle. Creating a new identity as a young adult can also reawaken old problems from past abuse/traumas, depression, self-damaging behaviors, and scrupulosity/OCD.
