First if you are exploring therapy, I just want to say congratulations because it's great idea, and future you will be happy that today you is doing this. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort between clinician and client, I am not "treating" you, I am helping you understand yourself better, while empowering you to create a life that feels more authentic and in alignment for you, and reducing your suffering along the way.

Most of us act with the best of intentions and don’t always get the results we were expecting. As a counselor, my role is not to tell a client what to do, but rather to help clients examine what their goals are, different ways goals can be achieved, and to provide supportive and honest feedback through a therapeutic relationship. I have lived in and around very diverse communities throughout my life, and I take pride in understanding and honoring everyone’s unique culture and beliefs.

And who knows but that you have come to your position for such a time as this. -Esther 4:14 We are created to be in community and we were created at this time and in this place for a reason. While there are times when relationships need to end, many times we are just caught up in bad patterns that we have the power to change. When we change our communication patterns, learn to create and hold to boundaries, and learn to regulate our nervous systems we are more available to one another.

As a Master’s level clinician I strive to help clients improve their lives and learn new skills, techniques, ways of viewing themselves, and the world around them in a way that may reduce pain and suffering. I frequently use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to help empower and guide individuals in their healing journey. I believe we are all capable of finding relief, strength, and a new way of perceiving ourselves and our environment, despite the difficult and unique challenges we face.

My passion as a therapist is helping people navigate life transitions and cope with personal challenges. I work with both teenagers and adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, loss, and the emotional aspects of living with neurological disorders. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, EMDR, and others to support my clients. With compassion and understanding, I aim to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where clients feel safe sharing their stories.

What is holding you back from living the life you want?

Hi! Do you struggle with low self-esteem? You may find yourself making negative comments about yourself, being overly self-critical, or blaming yourself for things that go wrong. I help women struggling with low self-esteem grow their love and acceptance for themselves so that they can reduce anxiety and feel at peace within.

Life is full of peaks and valleys, and sometimes we all need a little support or guidance. I am passionate about supporting kids, teens, young adults, women, and parents in periods of struggle or transition. I have training and lived experience with anxiety, depression, trauma, pain, child and family issues, and perinatal mood disorders. I have worked with survivors of sexual abuse, clients struggling with suicidal ideation and self-harm, and parents/caregivers trying their best to raise strong and healthy children. I can relate to people from all different walks of life, cultures, religious backgrounds, and sexual orientations.

Life is harder than you ever imagined it would be. Whether it's your painful past that keeps showing up in your present, difficulty in completing tasks and staying focus, or the anxiety and stress from things that are out of your control, you just can't find your way out of the struggle. Maybe it's your child or teenager who is struggling and needs someone else to help them find their joy and peace. A positive change is possible. Hope can be realized and joy can be a regular part of your life again.
