Are you an individual or couple who struggles with addiction, codependency, or other coping behaviors that have not only stopped helping you but have started to hinder you and your relationships? If you were able to just stop doing those things, then you would have already done that. But so much about our behaviors and interactions is gripped by how we interpreted earlier experiences. Wouldn't you like help getting to the root of why you keep repeating the same unhealthy patterns? While those roots are often deep, it's never too late to start growing in a healthier direction.

I work with a wide range of adolescents and adults, in particular those in the LGBTQIA community who are seeking to understand and accept themselves. This process involves self-discovery, understanding and self-acceptance. We can work together through issues such as shame, guilt, low self - esteem, school bullying, verbal/physical abuse, discrimination and the lack of family and societal support. We can also navigate possible conflicts of spirituality and personal values with sexual orientation/gender identity.

My approach to treatment utilizes Person-Centered Therapy, Strength-Based, CBT & Mindful-CBT.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, in a “funk”, lonely, or out-of-sorts? Feeling like you have to put on a face to show that you have it all together? Do you feel sadness or anxiety from past experiences or current events? Maybe it's hard to even pinpoint. It can be hard to ask for help, but coming here is a great first step toward living a fuller, happier life. I know from personal experience about the struggle of getting out of your own way and opening yourself up to change. Because of those experiences, I am passionate about helping you tap into the strength that you already possess and discover the values that align with who you are.

I lean towards using a strength-based and intuitive approach while also integrating numerous other theories and interventions.
Choosing to engage in a therapeutic relationship will help to enhance understanding of self, others and your environment. I believe that everyone possesses the ability and knowledge to create a fulfilling and peaceful life. Sometimes people need a safe place and a non-judgmental guide to help them understand their thoughts and feelings so they can heal and move forward in life. I work best with clients that are collaborative and engaged in the process of understanding and healing.
