Life challenges, past hurts, consuming worries, and loss can be so overwhelming at times that it can feel as though they are directing your life. It is during these times that we seek to access our inner resilience to open the door to healing and a pathway to a life of feeling present, connected, and fulfilled. Resilience-informed therapy works to strengthen your ability to process, adapt, grow, and flourish despite challenging circumstances. With enhanced resilience, we are able to enjoy more meaningful relationships, repair the narrative of past trauma and loss, and live with a sense of presence and purpose.

The world we live in does not provide a whole lot of time and space for reflection or processing. It often feels like we must continue in our day-to-day lives without acknowledging the hurt, fear, anxiety- even the joy that shows up. But those experiences need to be heard, and they can tell us valuable information about how to live a more fulfilling life. Although it can be counter-cultural to practice awareness, live intentionally, and move forward in a way that aligns with your values, I want to support you in creating a journey that is both authentic and enjoyable.

You’re driven and ambitious, but sometimes you find yourself stuck on the couch, overwhelmed by anxiety, procrastination, and perfectionism. Some days you’re on top of the world, and others, you constantly second-guess yourself. You feel the pressure to keep it together, balancing your job, relationships, and life... and you are tired. You get in your own head and escape through mindless eating, drinking, doom scrolling, and sleepless nights, but deep down, you have big goals. The fog of self-doubt and fear of failure makes it hard to get started, and you’re ready for a change.

My goal is to improve client mental health so that they feel and perform better. I provide a space where clients can be “heard” without judgment and are able to identify their strengths. These strengths are then combined with research-based practices to build skills needed to achieve one's personal goals. If a client is unsure about their goals, they have my support in helping to clarify them. We will then learn, practice and apply the skills. At other times, a simple objective ear is all a client needs. My services are provided in the least restrictive and quickest manner possible.

I help individuals, families, and couples who want to feel satisfied in their connection with their partner, mediate thoughts and identify thinking errors, and help manage anxiety and sadness to perform better in their lives. I strive to serve as a guide while supporting you with healing from past hurts, inter-generational trauma, and systematic pressures by getting to the root of your restrictive core beliefs that guide your behavior, how you see yourself, and perceive life and relationships. I provide a safe and judgment free atmosphere which allows for transparency, empowerment, cultural appreciation, and validation.

My ideal client is tough. Perhaps someone that has never trusted a counselor before? Since I have worked in prisons and jails the last decade, I expect resistance, mistrust, and skepticism. Previously, I worked as a substance use counselor. In that field I learned that there are many pathways and versions towards recovery and change. None of them are wrong. If you are willing to be a little uncomfortable, lets do that together. Life can be messy, cruel, and hilarious. I'll grab a paddle and jump in the boat of uncertainty with you.
