I once heard that finding a good therapist is like discovering your favorite flavor of ice cream. Counseling is not one size fits all. I focus primarily on the creation of a warm atmosphere to dissolve barriers to a joyful authentic life. In order to see results of therapy, I believe there must be a strong therapeutic relationship. I am a non judgmental advocate for my clients. I believe that having an anchor of strength and support is an aspect of therapy that is life changing. Therapy can be a catalyst to create peace, change, joy, and self awareness. I would love to take this journey with you.

As a counselor, my goal is to help clients gain insight and peace of mind to feel more confident in navigating life's challenges, traumas, circumstances, and relationships. I enjoy helping people discover and develop healthy processing and decision-making. I especially value helping people who have had prior ineffective or negative therapy experiences because I know it can be difficult to tell the difference between a strong therapeutic connection and "venting." Good therapy isn't "just talking" or "venting." Good therapy helps you find healing and understanding that builds hope and confidence within your real world.

Coming to a therapist is an enlightening experience, it can make a once chaotic and out of control life become peaceful and have meaning. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy as my main methods for therapy; however, I draw from other therapy types to give my clients the best therapeutic experience. I love working with children, adolescents and adults. My experience lies in behavior management, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, life changes, adjustment issues and addiction issues as it related to the addict and to the family. I see a lot children from blended and divorced families.

Waitlist for new clients
My ideal client is ready for change and the process that comes along with it. They may not know their growing edges yet, but they know there is something they would like to change and desire help to get there. My ideal client is motivated, insightful, and open to the therapeutic process. I aim to serve clients who have experienced trauma and are struggling with the lasting effects. I also enjoy working with relational difficulties, identity issues, and overwhelming life changes. Further, I am passionate about serving marginalized communities and offering the support our society often fails to give.

I enjoy working with college-aged students who may have some anxiety or stress surrounding this life transition. Many clients hope to gain an understanding of why they feel anxious or stressed, and how to overcome these feelings. I can assist in helping to quiet the noise, or even just provide a listening ear to those who may need to talk.
