Empathic. Easygoing. Humorist. You’re the one who brings joy and laughter to others, always ready with a joke or a kind word. But beneath the surface, you find yourself struggling to connect with your own happiness. You’ve carried the role of the supportive, cheerful friend for so long that it’s hard to admit how exhausting it’s become. Always lifting others up is leaving you drained and unseen. You deserve more than just being the one who holds space for everyone else. Your joy, needs, and identity matter. In a world that tells you to shrink or perform, let's work on you taking up space and embracing every part of who YOU are!

I have such unbridled passion for my work I am determined to be a rock star in my field. My style of counseling is eclectic and I tailor my therapeutic practices to the individual. As my niche is neurodiversity, I hold the view that there needs to be an emphasis on recognizing and appreciating the neurodivergent person’s enhanced perceptual functioning. In other words, focus on the individual's strengths not deficits. It changes one's perception from calling it a hyperfocus, which is a stigmatized term, to understanding it as a special area of interest they excel at.

I focus on creating the unconditional connection and space you need to work on the issues confronting you right now.

I have completed Part 1 and 2 of EMDR training and I am excited to incorporate this highly effective approach for trauma, depression, and/or anxiety symptoms, as well as any negative patterns or experiences that feel stuck.

I provide individual and family therapy for children, adolescents and adults. I work to develop a trusting relationship with each individual based on acceptance, understanding and mutual respect. Since I have expertise in a variety of treatment approaches, I can collaborate with each individual or family to provide treatment that aligns with the individual or family goals and needs. The process of healing and growth often involves gaining more understanding of oneself and one's family, learning how to draw on existing strengths and resources, gaining confidence, and/or learning new skills.

I’m compassionate and want to get to know what is effecting you in your life. I’m curious about how your emotional distress is protected and how you attain and experience pleasure and balance in your life. Lots of our best attempts to get our needs met can become habitual and ineffective leading to more stress, tension, anxiety and depression. Making time to be curious and compassionate with yourself is a necessity for harmony and balance. I’ll be your guide on this journey.

I believe that the relationship between client and counselor is key to healing and growth. I bring a supportive and non-judgmental approach to examine the thoughts and beliefs that keep us stuck in unproductive and often painful patterns in our lives and in our relationships. Using warmth, compassionate curiosity, humor, and especially respect, I build a strong alliance to support adults from all backgrounds and identities who are experiencing depression, anxiety, difficulty in relationships, major life transitions, substance use, abuse, and addiction. Together we can begin to identify and heal breaches in trust from the past.

For me and my work there aren't many things more powerful and influential than a genuine human connection, a respectful relationship, and a safe space for exploration. I believe the root source of any change comes from feeling secure in these very areas. My hope is that I can provide these basic foundations with my clients. I strive to create a space in which there is respect, humor, no judgement, and an openness to learn. I find that in this space people are able to tackle a range of issues, strengthen skills, and positive growth takes place.

One of the most profound determinants of how we experience our lives is how we feel about ourselves–our sense of worthiness. The story (our narrative) we tell ourselves is reinforced for better, or for worse. The health of our relationship, the one with ourselves, often dictates the health of our relationship with others. We all have the innate capacity to grow and change, to be resilient in the face of challenges, and to be empowered to change patterns of behavior and relationship that no longer serve us.

Psychological suffering exists on different levels and manifests in different ways, in psyche, body, interpersonally, socially, both consciously and unconsciously. There are many ways to address psychological struggle, exploration of dynamics underlying "symptoms" to the exploration of ways that we are alienated from partners & community. This is especially helpful when the source of suffering is unclear. My work is relational. I understand how relationships and systems impact our lives. Facilitating empowerment is key. I have expertise in working with queer adolescents/emerging adults, with their families and social surround
