My goal as a therapist is to provide you with a safe environment to explore feelings, difficulties, coping skills, passions and personal goals. The goal of each therapy session is to assess and build insight, motivate and encourage with the ultimate goal to empower you to live a happy, successful, fulfilled life.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in Art Therapy, harnessing creativity as a potent healing tool. I passionately believe in the therapeutic potential of all art forms for expression and healing, recognizing that verbal expression isn't always sufficient for clients. Valuing the individualized nature of healing journeys, I emphasize the importance of the therapeutic relationship and endeavors to create a safe and culturally sensitive space for my clients. In my practice, I integrate principles of hope, love, and understanding to nurture holistic healing experiences.

Are you in a relationship that is not satisfying your or your partner’s needs? Do mishaps in your relationship ruin your day? Do you feel you have problems with trust in your relationship? We all have obstacles to overcome with our partners. All of them, even the tough ones can be sorted through before they turn into a tidal wave of sorrow and pain. The turmoil you are experiencing can be fixed.

I practice from a Humanistic or Person-Centered perspective. This means I believe in the potential and inherent desire of people to grow and develop into their best selves. Many times - whether due to their childhood upbringing, relationships with caregivers and primary attachment figures, their culture, oppression, education/instruction, religious institutions, or beliefs about self - individuals are prevented from developing into their most authentic greater selves. In therapy, clients may uncover and unblock these barriers and find ways to bring them down and overcome them.

I've worked with individuals experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety and women experiencing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Facing the challenges and roadblocks that result from mood disorders can be one of the most overwhelming experiences for many. Utilizing evidence-based modalities in therapy can help you understand and process your emotions, learn effective coping strategies, and discover ways to heal and embrace this phase of life with strength and resilience so that you can focus on what is important.

I have found that most men would like to be fully present for their lives. They hope to build healthy, satisfying relationships. They desire to freely pursue their passions. I work with men who feel that something is getting in the way of fulfilling these desires. These obstacles most commonly look like depression, anxiety, addiction, or relationship conflict. I help men feel free again regardless of what may be holding them back. I work with clients to help them find joy in living while becoming the best version of themselves.

I am here to ride with you on your therapy journey. Whether it's your first time seeking therapy or a stop along the way. I enjoy working with individuals to build self-awareness, and self-acceptance, and achieve mental and emotional goals. I am skilled in working with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges of all kinds, trauma, and more. I know therapy can be a scary thought, however, I promise you it can be as fast, slow, productive, or as targeted as you wish.

It is a privilege to enter into the lives of my clients, therefore, holding space that shows reverence, curiosity, and compassion is key. My style is warm yet directive. I operate from a strength-based perspective and will highlight the values held by my clients along with the many strengths they bring. I have experience working with high-conflict families and couples and appreciate the work involved in finding new ways of relating. Lastly, I appreciate collaboration and feedback from clients regarding what works, what is not working, and what could be done differently to achieve emotional wellness.

My approach is to meet people where they are in their healing journey and support in moving beyond the places that make them feel stuck. I hold a compassionate and non-judgemental space for the individuals I work with and recognize the importance of feeling empowered and validated. Through a trauma-informed and strengths-based lens, I can assist with exploring how you can relate to your past and fears with curiosity, kindness, and courage. I provide therapy to adults experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, issues with self-esteem and those wanting to improve relationships, navigate life changes, and gain greater self-awareness.

I hope to create a safe therapeutic relationship, where you can be known, seen, and heard. I am here to empower you to tap into your abilities and strengths and help you to create a new path by challenging the barriers. I work with individuals and teens who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, substance use, grief and loss, life transitions, and relational/attachment wounds. My experience also includes working with the BIOPIC community, LGBTQIA+ community, first responders, veterans, and addicted family systems. I tailor therapy to my clients individual goals and needs and provide culturally competent mental health care.

I am a Solution-focused therapist who uses a Cognitive approach. I emphasize spirituality and existentialism in my practice. I want those I work with to find meaning and purpose in their lives and do so by providing a judgment-free, warm space. With my experience with diverse populations and ages, I have the skills to create a specialized treatment plan. I also specialize in childhood trauma.

My approach to therapy revolves around putting my clients at the center of the process. This means tailoring treatment to suit your specific needs and preferences. It could involve processing through deep-rooted issues, equipping you with coping mechanisms and practical skills, or even collaboration to problem solve. For me, being a therapist is a profound privilege to walk alongside my clients on their journey towards self-discovery and growth.

My clients are typically looking to resolve issues related to anxiety, stress, trauma, insomnia, depression, or relationship issues. Some clients also work on spiritual searching and exploring meaning in life. Sessions can focus on finding one’s purpose. Working with me often involves finding joy and humor again in life. Clients also learn practical skills they take with them, such as meditation and relaxation techniques, and ways of managing the mind’s scattered distractions and critical, negative thoughts. I can also teach physical meditative movements.
