I have experience working with adults that have encountered various challenges such as infertility, post-foster, adoption issues, life transitions, and relational issues.
My goal as a therapist is to be and provide a safe environment for my clients and find the underlying reason for the issue at hand so that they can reach their full potential. Since everyone is unique and different, your treatment plan will be developed based on your needs. Whatever you have gone through is not too difficult to work through and process. We will work together as a team so that you can accomplish your goals. You no longer have to work through it alone!

I believe that throughout life’s most interesting journeys, whether painful, full of change, optimistic, or oppositional, it is often easier to have someone to walk with.  I work with individuals and couples who are experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, major life adjustments, and grief, family and relationship issues. Some of the populations I have worked with include: Young adults, first-responders, premarital/couples, post-partum partners, and first generation students.

I am experienced in treating trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction and LGBT-related issues in both children and adults.
In Martial Arts training, we are often taught to redirect energy against us to our benefit. In reality, though, this is true in our daily lives. We cannot stop bad things from happening to us, but when they do, we can respond in a way that fosters growth and progress. In our work together, we will work collaboratively to help you process trauma, cope with life stress, and become the happiest version of your authentic self.
