I work with adults and couples who experience challenging events like trauma, including childhood trauma, other complex and acute trauma, loss and grief, life transitions, relational problems, anxiety, depression, and intergenerational relationships.

My approach is empathetic, non-judgmental, and collaborative. Together, we will work to identify the underlying causes of your depression and develop coping strategies.

My joy in counseling comes from helping people become unstuck and find both growth and abundant life. I bring a wellness mindset into counseling sessions and enjoy fostering mind, body and spiritual growth with clients.

Are you tired of constantly feeling overwhelmed and anxious? Your mind is racing with a million thoughts, and you never have a chance to just relax and be present. You feel like no matter what you do, you’re still not good enough. You find it difficult balancing your workload, hobbies, and social life, while also making time for yourself. You have really high standards for yourself, and you have a tough inner critic that never stops. Now is the time to change these patterns, take care of yourself, and get the support you've always deserved.

I realize that choosing a therapist is a very important decision, which is influenced by many factors. For this reason, I offer a free, fifteen-minute consultation to all potential clients. My goal is to support the people in my community with getting the services they need so, I am always happy to provide referrals based on individual needs.

Our lives can change in the blink of an eye. The feelings that go along with these transitions can be overwhelming and unpredictable. Daily life is both the same and different.

I am passionate about providing therapy for children, families, and adults who have experienced trauma, including abuse, neglect, sexual assault, and domestic violence. The clients who come to see me are often feeling angry, aggressive, depressed, or anxious. Parents who seek treatment for their children express feeling confused and frustrated by their child's behaviors, and don't know how to help. Adults who have experienced violent, controlling relationships with their partners can feel hopeless, worthless, and alone. When someone has experienced scary, overwhelming things, they can feel stuck and unsure how to move forward.

My approach is to offer clients the support, acceptance, insight and guidance needed in order to achieve a healthier and more fulfilling level of functioning in their lives. You may have already identified goals for self-improvement that you’d like to sort through, or maybe you are not yet able to articulate anything beyond your desire to alleviate a general discomfort, soreness, pain or paralyses you feel in one or more areas of your life. It is OK to enter counseling with more questions than answers! Your counseling journey has already begun as you’ve started to research counselors and take this important step for yourself.
