Coming to therapy can be a scary thing. It takes courage, strength, and power to take the steps to go to and actively participate in the ways that you need. Things like trauma, family issues, depression and anxiety, questioning your faith, low self-esteem, and many others can push you to a place of feeling alone and inadequate. You may have had experiences with therapy that make you feel like it doesn't work or that it isn't for you. I would love to be able to join you in your journey, help you process and explore those difficulties, and move toward a better place in your life.

Does your child complain of stomach aches? Say they don't want to go to school? Do they struggle to sleep? Are they having issues with their siblings or other people? Is there a history of trauma?

I specialize in children, preteens, and teenagers. Anxiety, depression, and trauma can all show up as anger, fear, lethargy, and lack of sleep.

Don't continue to live in a state of strife and unhappiness......

There is a wealth of bravery in taking the first step to pursue counseling! I approach my work with clients by meeting clients where they are. I collaborate with individuals I work with, delving into their inner worlds and their lived experiences. Together, we explore the client's strengths and how these can be utilized to propel the individual to success.

To work with diverse clients with unique needs and backgrounds is my passion. To hear individuals stories and help them find solutions to move their lives forward is always interesting and inspirational.

How have you been speaking to yourself lately? Taking a moment to check in and explore our thoughts can give us good insight to our relationship to self.

Together we spend time exploring your anxiety, life changes, depressed mood, trauma history, avoidance, relationship cycles, reactive behaviors, hypervigilance, and overwhelming thoughts.

There is a reason we do the things that we do and feel the way that we feel. All mental health issues are caused by us surviving and navigating this world to the best of our abilities given all the obstacles that can get in the way. Therapy is a science and an art. In better understanding the science and the question of “why” we do the things that we do can be a powerful tool in starting your healing journey. Once having this level of insight, therapy aims to not only heal you in the present but heal the deeper underlying issues that have caused things to get to this point.

Therapy is a place to heal, grow, set goals, and get to know yourself, where you don’t have to wear a mask or say you’re “Okay” even if you’re not. A place to be your genuine self without judgement or criticism. I practice strengths-based treatment and want my clients to feel accomplished, validated, and supported at the end of a session. We all have different goals for therapy. Whether yours is healing trauma, improving relationships or managing stress your goals are important and deserve the time and effort that therapy requires. I can help you to gain new perspective and move toward achieving your goal.

Are you going through a life transition, experiencing stress, and have feelings of anxiety or depression? Or do you struggle with an addiction? Life can be tough and the stress can be difficult deal with. It is not uncommon for this to make us feel isolated, alone, downhearted, and distressed. Imagine if you didn't have to feel this way. It can be a challenge, but people can feel healthy, happy, and "better".

The clients I work with range in age from 14 and up. They have many different stories but some things in common. They all want someone who will listen and understand them. Together we can get through anything.

You are worth it! Getting to know the person in front of me and building rapport with that person is my specialty . I can't wait to meet you!
