Elevate your well-being with a National Board Certified Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor who champions the transformative power of self-love and acceptance. Rooted in the conviction that understanding oneself is the cornerstone of meaningful change, I am dedicated to nurturing your innate capacity for healing across all age groups. Specializing in the treatment of couples, trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and relational challenges, my therapeutic approach aims to illuminate your path to a more hopeful and balanced life.

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. I know it isn’t easy to look for a therapist, and it can even feel scary to take that beginning step of seeking therapy. Therapy is helpful for healing emotional and relational wounds, increasing self-awareness, building skills and resources, and increasing clarity when you are feeling stuck and things look hopeless. Therapy is also helpful when you just want to stretch yourself to grow beyond old patterns and what feels familiar but no longer brings you joy, or when the familiar is costing you too much. You are starting something courageous by choosing change, and you don't have to do it alone.

Welcome – and thank you for your interest in the possibility of working together. Choosing to work with a new therapist is a deeply personal and sometimes difficult decision; especially when considering the balance of vulnerability and trust that's typically required to make progress toward your mental health goals. My approach is highly relational, empathetic, compassionate, and collaborative - all of which are essential traits when working with adults and teens (age 18+) who are focused on overcoming anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction; along with a handful of other common co-occurring concerns.

In my ideal client, I envision someone who is open to self-exploration, growth, and positive change. There are many challenges they may be facing, including mental illness, substance abuse, relationship difficulties, and unresolved emotional wounds. I believe that clients need a safe and nonjudgemental space and new tools to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life. My ideal client is motivated to break free from negative patterns, embrace their strengths, and cultivate a sense of well-being and purpose.

I believe that given the safety, support, and tools, we all have an innate capacity to heal and live full lives. Our brains and bodies are designed for this purpose, and my goal as a therapist is to empower clients through relational and body-based treatments to rebuild the relationship with themselves and others. I work with clients seeking support to heal from experiences of trauma, abuse, and loss, as well as those managing burnout, anxiety, and depression. I specialize in treating trauma-related disorders, including those developed following sexual and intimate partner violence, childhood abuse, and traumatic loss.

Do you feel alone, unimportant, misunderstood, or that you can’t do enough or get it right in your relationship? Do discussions escalate into conflict quickly and rarely lead to resolution? Sometimes in relationships we get stuck in negative cycles of interaction or feeling and in our work together, I will support you in exploring your unique relationship path, identify strengths and stuck places, and create space for experiences that lead to new patterns of connection.

I believe that every person's story is a tapestry woven from the threads of their experiences, relationships, and beliefs. These experiences shape our understanding of ourselves and the world around us, influencing the coping strategies and relational patterns we develop. I am deeply passionate about working with first responders and their families as they balance a helping profession with the demands of a romantic relationship(s), family, and friends.

Esther Perel writes, “The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives.” Are you currently struggling in your relationship or within your sex life? Do you often feel stressed out and unsure of how to get reconnected? Or perhaps you're longing to explore aspects of your unique identity that have yet to be fully expressed. If you feel ready to start exploring change, I am here for you. In therapy we will work together to identify the relational patterns that keep you stuck, and how to create sustainable change for greater intimacy.

Are you finding it challenging to navigate major changes in your life and relationships? I work with individuals and couples through a relational lens to restore connection and facilitate healing. From taking the next steps in your relationship, or wanting to break free of old patterns, change can feel very overwhelming, even if it's what we truly desire. I provide a safe space to explore the things that feel hard to talk about. My work with couples aims to strengthen the foundation of your relationship, by exploring the emotional, physical, and logistical barriers, so you are ready to handle whatever life throws at you next.

I am available to assist in empowering you to overcome anxiety/depression/stress to move toward a happy, calm, peaceful and productive life through a person centered approach. I have years of experience in helping individuals, families, children and adolescents overcome and address a wide variety of life problems, mental illness, trauma, anxiety, relational problems and addiction. I have personal experience overcoming paralyzing fears. Hours are Monday to Friday for telehealth sessions. I have some availability on weekends to best serve your needs.

It takes courage to ask for help and seek out a therapist. Thank you for stopping by my profile. I believe that it is in relationship with others that we find healing from past and present hurts and that therapy is a wonderful way to make space for this healing. My counseling background includes working with children, adolescents, and adults, as well as families. My clients' goals often include wanting to understand why they "do what they do" in their lives and relationships, as well as how they can improve their relationships with themselves and others.

Are you someone who never thought you would be looking for a therapist? Are problems that were once manageable now feeling as though they aren't? As a trauma-informed therapist, I am dedicated to opening spaces for those problems that are haunting you, or have haunted you for years. I consciously work to help you recognize that you are uniquely separate from your problems. Separating ourselves from the problems in our lives, such as grief, addiction, anxiety, love, or violence will guide us toward healing through crisis or times when we feel stuck.

I am honored to provide support for individuals, couples, and families during challenging times. I believe in the power of collaborative relationships to uncover your innate strengths, perseverance, and authentic self. Whether you're dealing with everyday stressors or contemplating existential questions, my approach is tailored to you – no one-size-fits-all solutions here. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey toward a more vibrant and fulfilling life.

The poet Rainer Maria Rilke wisely states, “If we surrendered to earth’s intelligence, we could rise up rooted, like trees.” Art therapy and other mindfulness-based therapies allow you to bypass your defenses and programming to access a deeper knowing. Find guidance to do this brave and healing work. Come discover your natural intelligence and help heal and grow from the trauma and patterns you wish to be free from. If you are feeling stuck or lost, come learn tools to support you in the everyday to emotionally regulate, find deep self-compassion, and express your true self.

I work with couples struggling with infidelity, injuries to the relationship, and couples wanting to feel more connected. I work with individuals struggling with relationship issues and trauma. My personal and professional passion is to serve the community through social justice and emotional healing.

By now you may feel like you've tried everything. Perhaps your home has become a battleground, filled with fights that repeat over and over without any progress. Maybe you feel like you have hit a wall with your partner and aren’t sure how to move forward, or maybe you feel stuck, watching from the sidelines as your child navigates the many challenges of adolescence. Taking action can help resolve these feelings of helplessness and taking the initiative to seek treatment is the first step forward. If you or your child is struggling to live a fulfilling life—or even struggling to make it through the day—it’s time to seek help.

I respectfully focus on the uniqueness of each individual and how they are experiencing themselves in the present moment, rather than what they have been told in the past. I am a trauma informed therapist, specializing in working with grief, loss, trauma and life transitions. My professional experience includes working in an inpatient psychiatric setting with adults with trauma, substance abuse and chronic mental health issues, working with adult survivors of childhood trauma and working as a bereavement counselor in hospice.

Right now, more than ever, people are exhausted and just trying to stay afloat. It is possible to overcome obstacles that create suffering and find more peace in life. I provide a safe, compassionate therapeutic environment where you can develop personalized tools and strategies for positive change in your life. It takes a lot of courage to move forward in healing, so I would be humbled and honored to talk with you to see if we would be a good fit. I am passionate about helping my clients find greater healing and see joy return back to their lives.
