We encounter many seasons throughout life and many of us need help navigating the various experiences and feelings we face along the way. Taking the step to begin counseling is the best choice for optimal health and wellness. I am here to meet my clients where they are and assist with self awareness, healing and productive change from a place of empathy and non-judgment. We all need to feel heard and understood and I feel honored to do that for my clients. I look forward to assisting you with your health and healing.

You struggle to understand yourself as you anxiously survive from one situation to the next, trying to adapt to other's expectations. You cycle from impulsive outbursts one minute to completely avoiding your feelings altogether another; internally overwhelmed. It's exhausting and confusing. You've started asking yourself, "Do I even know who I am? What do I feel? What do I even want anymore?" You want help, but you've been too embarrassed to seek help. You believe you "should" know how to handle your emotions better. You hate feeling so dysregulated. You crave a more grounded sense of self & understanding.

"I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." - William Henley. People want to feel in control. But, when people experience internal or external change, and resist such, they can feel a loss of control. By identifying goals, increasing insight, developing integrity, and encouraging self-care, I have helped countless clients regain control. I have worked in a variety of settings, including outpatient, residential, and inpatient; and with a variety of populations, including adults/adolescents/children experiencing depressive, anxiety, trauma/stressor, disruptive/impulse-control, substance, or personality disorders.

Therapy is a journey and lived experience. The connection, empowerment, and shifts I get to be apart of are what keep me motivated and striving to be the therapist that I am. My hope is to empower clients through connection and collaboration and I feel honored to be invited on your journey. In my free time, I practice self-care through my own therapeutic journey, I enjoy playing and watching hockey, I enjoy hiking in the Foothills, I take my dog “Bella" to her favorite places, and spend time with my closest friends and family. Should you invite me on your journey, I hope to help you to reach your therapeutic goals.

Life's messy and complicated, and you weren't as prepared as you would have liked for the curveballs. Important relationships in your life have become strained, or you experienced something difficult that you can't seem to find a place for in your mind. You might find yourself struggling with restlessness and irritability. It feels like you're putting on a happy face when you're really just drained, or you're exhausted from having arguments with your loved ones all the time. How your problems express themselves in your life may look different than it might for someone else, and those distinctions are really important.

My specialty in rehab psych is all about helping people to transform hardship and change into an opportunity to construct new life paths. Do you want a better quality of life but face barriers that seem insurmountable?

I am pro-marriage. I work with couples, families and individuals on relationship issues, unresolved trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions. Something in your relationships isn't working.

Perhaps you are at war within yourself battling negative thoughts, anxiety, depression, traumatic memories, apathy, low self-esteem, overwhelming emotion or any number of addictions/bad habits that deeply affect your quality of life. It's not for lack of effort, but you are ready for support to live your best life. We should talk.
