Sometimes life gives us the unexpected. When it does, we are often scrambling to survive. Lots of us either ignore our pain or blame ourselves for what happened. I am here to tell you that it’s not your fault. When life throws us into the arena, we get dragged in the dirt, scuff up our knees, and exhaust every ounce of ourselves to survive. None of us do it perfectly. I want to remind you that you have survived and are making the brave choice to seek therapy. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, or events in your life that have overwhelmed you, I would be honored to walk alongside you to uncover new paths of healing.

I enjoy working with college aged students, couples, as well as adolescents who are dealing with adjustment, identity, anxiety, depression and relational issues. I also enjoy working with pregnant women and new moms as they embark on their new journey of parenthood.

I strive to foster a safe space where clients can tell their story, gain insight into how that has impacted them, acknowledge the various unique contexts which impact their lives, connect with their strengths, and learn new ways towards wholeness and personal growth. I also have a passion for working with couples and helping them break free from difficult communication patterns using Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), which focuses on the attachment or strength of the bond a couple has and emotions that are getting in the way of safety, connection, love, etc.

Are you feeling unfulfilled in your relationships, choices, and just life? Those who feel detached from those around them often believe they're a burden and bring no value to those around them. If any of that resonated with you, you may feel disconnected from different areas of your life, such as work, relationships, family and interests. Many individuals go through life never feeling like they belong, lack fulfillment, joy, and a sense of identity. You're here looking to finally put yourself first, to find a sense of satisfaction in your life, and I'd love to be part of that journey, so you no longer feel alone.

I am a strong believer in the saying “change is inevitable; growth is optional”. We can count on shifting seasons. You can build resilience and learn to thrive in the peaks and valleys. You can break free of unhealthy coping patterns. You can create new thoughts and behaviors that work for you and your relationships. We all desire a safe space to feel known. It brings me joy to walk alongside adults, children, families, and couples through life’s greatest challenges. To help them feel heard, to locate their inner strength to achieve their goals.

I am an LCSW with 30 years of experience in mental health. During that time I have been everything from an “Overnight/ Stay-awake” in residential facilities, a crisis intervention worker performing suicide and homicide evaluations, to being a Clinical Director of a mental health program for a large company. A couple things that have remained consistent throughout this time has been a major desire to help others and a gift for building rapport and strong working relationships with people of all ages and backgrounds.

Human connection is essential to our well-being, yet in a world where digital interactions dominate, many young professionals feel a pervasive sense of loneliness despite their external success. If you’ve experienced trauma, particularly within family relationships, forming fulfilling connections can be challenging. Even when you’ve reached significant career milestones, unresolved trauma and difficulties in building meaningful relationships can leave you feeling disconnected and empty, as though something vital is missing in your life.

Truth is a fundamental and guiding concept in my practice. I believe we all know when we encounter truth. It is that which resonates with us. Like great art, truth retains value and grows in worth over time. Also, like great art, truth is best shared with a partner. Working with committed relationships is an important focus of my practice. Isn't retaining value and worth what you want for yourself, your partner and your children? In my work, I attempt to be the conduit through which my clients re-connect to that which stands alone and endures within them.
