I have extensive experience working with adults, teens, and couples.
Life is challenging. It is helpful to find someone to talk about our challenges with, someone who truly hears us, someone who sees us and with whom we have a connection with. Perhaps you're tired of not feeling like yourself or your exhausted by your anxious thoughts, if so, I would love to have the opportunity to work with you. While I work with a variety of concerns, I specialize in depression, and anxiety, and couple's counseling. Making the first call to get services is often the most challenging but you deserve to invest in yourself. You are worth it.

I am passionate about working with couples, teens, and adults addressing issues around love and belonging, depression and bipolar, substance use and addiction, self-esteem, identity and purpose, and being Autistic.
Connection is why we are here. Too often we focus on what we don't have, what we don't want, and how we don't measure up. This leaves us feeling depressed, disconnected, and isolated. I want to help you ask and answer a different set of questions. What do you already have? What do you really want? What are you passionate about? How are you already good enough?

I am passionate about working with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, life adjustments and loss.
Welcome, I’m glad you’re “here”—taking steps to make your mental health a priority. Perhaps you are familiar with the feeling life is moving at a pace you can no longer manage? Perhaps you are adjusting to a life change or caregiver/parenting role that has served to create new, or worsen existing mental health concerns. Know that you are not alone!

I have worked with children, adolescents, teenagers, and adults with a variety of mental health concerns such as anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, PTSD, history of abuse, domestic violence, and personality disorders.
No one is meant to go through this life alone, although it may feel this way. If you have been struggling lately with situations, events, or mental health symptoms, you are in the right place. You’ve taken the first step in looking for a counselor, and many times that can be the hardest step. My passion is supporting my clients through person-centered, cognitive behavioral therapies and empowering my clients with the necessary tools they need to succeed. I incorporate client interests, such as reading, music, sports, art, and writing, into our sessions to best support clients as they are working through the therapeutic process.

I work with youth age 6-18 and adults who may be struggling in the following areas: Depression, including Post-Partum Depression, Anxiety-Mood Disorder, Stress management, Family conflict, Parenting skills, Coping skills, Trauma Focused CBT, Grief and Loss, Body Image issues, Student-Athlete Pressure/Balance.
Connection matters; we weren't meant to go through life's hurts and challenges alone. Oftentimes we get this connection through friends and family, but sometimes we need more than that. Sometimes it feels as though we are stuck in the spot we are in without hope of things changing. I understand that it's difficult to take that step towards counseling. My heart is to create a space to feel heard, understood, and to gain hope as we walk through those stuck points together.

Body-image concerns, eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties impact our ability to grasp the life we long for. Simple pleasures such as enjoying time with friends, celebrating a special moment with a family member, going out for dinner, hanging out with peers, or feeling connected to our partner can be a daunting or impossible prospect. Stepping into therapy can feel just as daunting, but it can be the beginning of grasping the life you deserve. I have worked with adolescents, teens, adults, and couples to heal trauma, improve relationships with food and body image, and strengthen relationships.

Through my clinical experience, I had the pleasure of providing outpatient and partial hospitalization services to adults for a variety of mental health concerns including, but not limited to, mood disorders, trauma, grief and loss, and interpersonal relationships.
I firmly believe in the power of an open mind and empathetic heart, both of which guide me faithfully as I strive to deliver compassion and guidance to those who are stuck in their growing process. I counsel adults using a client-centered approach that allows you, as the expert of your experiences, to guide me as we form a mutually agreed upon plan to meet you where you are at. I care as deeply about your successes and strengths as I do your concerns, so I want to help you reconnect with your best version of you. Sometimes this means looking at the different parts of you, getting to know them better, and offering healing to them.

I believe that we all develop and possess our own unique stories that give our lives meaning. We are each the authors and experts of our own stories, but sometimes we can get stuck in stories that restrict our growth and possibilities. I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental place for you to explore those stories and to rewrite them so that they better support your goals and values, empowering you to live out those values in meaningful and fulfilling ways.

Twists and turns are part of life, but having an impartial voice that lends a new perspective can make navigating them easier. We all have our own struggles, experiences, and obstacles. We also have our own strengths, talents, and resources. Realizing how to utilize your unique strengths to discover ways to overcome obstacles is my passion. We all have our differences and it is those differences that give us strength as individuals, couples, families, and communities.

I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and even families.
I know how challenging it can be to reach out and start the process of therapy. I enjoy working with clients who experience a variety of needs from their therapist. This includes processing traumas, minimizing depressive symptoms, more effectively managing symptoms of anxiety, and more! It is important to come into a counseling setting with an open mind, and to remember that therapy is a very vulnerable process. Developing trust within a counseling relationship is an important foundation to reaching your goals in the counseling setting.
