Life can be challenging. Everyone wants to be heard, and it is important to have an outlet. It can be hard to reach out when in need of support, and it can be even harder to find the right therapist for you. When first meeting with a client I focus on building a therapeutic alliance. I want to know your interests and what's important to you. I understand that in order for someone to make change support and care need to be built through trust. Trust doesn't come easy, but with patience, it can be built. I aim to develop a strong bond with each of my clients. You are not alone, we will walk together on your healing journey.

I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, fellow old souls, and adults who face generalized/social/performance anxiety, depression, perfectionism, LGBTQ stressors, low self-esteem, low motivation, ADD/ADHD, and other attention or mood-related ailments. I bring experience from intensive outpatient programs for depression and anxiety in a behavioral health hospital to assist individuals seeking one on one assistance in managing life transitions and stressors. I enjoy teaching coping skills, stress reduction, increasing self-awareness with handouts, other visual aids and helping individuals organize their thoughts on paper.
I now offer virtual couples case consultation. Discussing cases that are as complex as couples work is essential for even the most experienced clinicians. This case consultation will be for therapists who work with couples and want to discuss couples therapy cases only. For 1:1 couples case consultation I have immediate availability but if there is enough interest I would consider starting another group in September. Feel free to email me: CouplesCounselingToday@gmail.com if you have any questions then we would set up a brief call or virtual meeting to ensure we are good fit moving forward.

Couples often struggle with many relationship issues all at the same time. Marriage counseling can only go so far without having choices on how to move forward. Let's begin with these options: Starting fresh with new skills and approaches to being a couple. Making amends and forgiveness. Exploring your family culture and what you bring into your relationship. Restructuring, uncoupling, separation, or compassionate divorce. We'll discuss the main options and together agree upon the focus of our work moving forward. I take an integrated approach to working with couples which has been informed by many master clinicians.

Clients that suffer from substance use disorder can seek counseling to obtain a better understanding of their choices and/or disease. My vision with each client is helping them regain a sense of control through recovery and a positive outlook on life.
As a counselor who values spirituality, I formed this group after encountering spiritually minded people from various faith traditions who, while valuing their religious upbringing, find themselves seeking a more interactive relationship with The Divine than their religious structures provide. Our time together will be a mix of learning (cultivating awareness of The Divine; accessing emotional movements within ourselves; and discerning how to respond to these movements in real, pragmatic ways) and personal sharing. Please reach out to me to set up a time to discuss if this group is a good fit for you!

Every person's process of growth is unique, and I draw from multiple therapeutic models to help my clients find a more life-giving way of being in the world. I've taken this journey myself, and I look forward to accompanying you as you take yours.

Therapy offer a process of healing learn to be present together, allowing awareness to expand in a safe place. Here, truth can be expressed, allowing transformation. Typically we default to distraction, intoxication or denial when a we can't genuinely connect with ourselves. "Process addictions", loss, trauma and shame creep in and inhibit our sense of Self. Through therapy, our clarity, healing and ease with emotional intimacy can finally emerge.
