Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse populations.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, trauma, or relationship issues, I’m here to provide you with the support and guidance you need to achieve your goals.

Therapy is for anybody that has a desire to change or grow. It is not always easy to identify our specific issues, needs, and goals. However, most can identify when something just isn't working right. We can work together to uncover the ins and outs of your problems, then create a plan to address them. Therapy is not about making life’s challenges disappear. It is about growing and becoming better equipped to handle these challenges. Depression, anxiety, relationship problems, addiction, and so on, are all difficult but common human experiences. Life can be difficult, but you don't have to face it alone.

Life is a journey but sometimes that journey brings challenges. The problem is that many of us don’t know how to overcome those challenges. My goal is to meet you on your journey, wherever that may be, and guide you through the process of facing life’s hardships and complications. During our sessions, I will help create an environment that allows you to feel validated and empowered. I will help you to become resilient and create a future that you can enjoy. Together we will work to move forward to promote your happiness and mental wellbeing.

I believe that every individual is worthy of respect and the dignity of their life should be upheld and protected. This belief system is carried through in the therapy room where I will work diligently to create a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients. I desire to create an environment where you will feel safe, seen, heard, understood, and loved. I feel strongly that human beings were made for community and that we all struggle from time to time. As a therapist, it is my privilege to walk alongside you and accompany you in your journey toward healing and self-discovery.

Have you ever observed how much of human behavior is driven by our basic human needs for balance and connection? Think about the ways we risk and reach for our partners. Think about how you cope when you feel lonely or rejected or the ways you mask the discomfort of feeling overwhelmed or depressed. It might show up as an eating disorder, conflict in your relationship or sexual issues, even stress at work. If you feel the ways you navigate life stressors are not as effective as you would like I am here to help. I see therapy as a safe, secure place to work through life’s challenges in a collaborative, non-judgemental environment.
