I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including grief, depression, anxiety , relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, substance use issues and the LGBTQ population.

For many of us therapy is not the first step we take when we desire change. We change our habits, lean on our support system, or continue the mantra: "I can handle this on my own". Therapy is so much more than fixing what you feel is wrong in your life, or returning to "who you were" in the past. It's about being honest and expressive about your feelings, being open to reflective conversations, and learning new ideas and skills that require both patience and growth. I want my clients to see therapy as a resource to help them on their wellness journey of becoming who they want to be.

I believe that every person has the ability to break through barriers that we are faced with in life, but sometimes we may need some assistance, and this is when I come in. I enjoy helping people navigate change, promote growth, healing and restore hope. I take an active role in helping you to clarify your issues and identify an effective solution that fits your personal need. When I work with clients, I employ evidenced-based treatment including cognitive-behavioral therapy, crisis-intervention, bereavement counseling, Solution-Focused Brief therapy and spiritual counseling.

As a psychotherapist, I believe that each of us holds the capacity to utilize our personal creativity to resolve life's challenges. I seek to assist the folks I work with to find their strengths. I utilize a number of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, Interactive Guided Imagery, Ericksonian Hypnosis, and elements of Internal Family Systems and psychological astrology. Upon the initial therapy session, we will work together to determine the most beneficial modality for you, your family, or your child. In addition, I may suggest expressive arts as a vehicle to create life changes.

Stuck? Sad? Worried? Scared? Do you find yourself dealing with situations, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that you believe you have no control over or find to be completely overwhelming? Are you having trouble putting your past experiences behind you? Are you fearful of the future and of moving forward? Or maybe you want to try new things, but fear gets in the way of taking that first step? Perhaps you're stressed and trying to find balance? It’s okay; as women, we have all been there. We get it. But, you don’t have to deal with this alone. A skilled, trusted, & compassionate therapist can help you navigate these life issues.

Welcome! I am grateful you stopped by and are considering my services during a vulnerable time in your life. I believe that we are shaped by each experience we have, the systems we interact with, and the relationships we engage in. Every individual is unique in their identities (race, gender, sexual orientation, Roles, culture, religion, etc.). Those identities are key factors in the individual’s view of the world and interaction within it. I am also a gender affirming therapist, and here to help anyone on their journey.

TELEHEALTH AVAILABLE As individuals we face many situations in life that can affect us in different ways. There are times when these situations can become more difficult than others and can affect our relationships, our performance at work or school, or even in our daily activities. At this point we face a challenge to start a learning process, strengthen our coping skills and overcome these obstacles in life. Please know that you don’t have to go through this process alone. In therapy, we can work collaboratively to identify your challenges, define your goals more clearly and create a plan according to your own needs.

My goal is to provide a warm and accepting environment for individuals to explore feelings and life experiences that may allow for personal reflection and growth. We all may experience a feeling of being "stuck" at some point in our lives and may be unsure of how to move forward. I believe the path forward is discovered through personal reflection and self-exploration. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults utilizing a strength based approach. I work with individuals that may be experiencing mood disorder/depression, anxiety , adjustment to life changes, grief/loss, and a variety of other presenting issues.
