“I feel lost and alone.” “No one truly understands me.” “There is a disconnect between who I am and who I want to be.” These thoughts may feel overwhelming, but there is hope. Everyone has a unique collection of experiences, emotions, and identities. Even though we face challenges in our lives, we don’t have to feel stuck forever. I believe everyone is capable of growth, finding meaning in their life, and becoming more aligned with who they want to be. In therapy, I prioritize a person-centered approach by listening deeply to my clients to better understand their unique goals.

When people experience painful events, emotions, and memories, we tend to lock them up in a dark place. I believe that as we bring these difficult experiences into the light, we can work together to confront and heal them. I will accompany you into your dark places so you don't have to go alone, and together we will bring freedom from these painful experiences. I believe in empowering people to learn how to help themselves, so you can handle future difficulties with the skills we learn together.

My ideal client is someone that is willing and wanting to transform their life. The greatest piece of artwork a person can create is an empowered, successful life. I have a large background with mental health and also working with adolescents and understanding how that stage of life can be very challenging. No one is immune to having things completely shake up their life, but in having support that empowers them to find their way and regain mastery in creating the life they want, that transformation is extremely possible.

Gifted students tend to set high expectations and standards for themselves; are perfectionistic and become profoundly disappointed, stressed, and hopeless if they feel they have failed to measure up to their expectations. Gifted individuals are intense and sensitive. Some may view these "big emotions" as illogical, scary, and risky. They need support in balancing their interpersonal and emotional self with their intellectual and logical self. Through setting goals that are realistic and healthy, educating gifted about their overexcitabilities, introducing healthy coping strategies, and self-soothing tools prove very impactful.
