During my years of practice, I realized that many mental health issues are rooted from past negative or traumatic experiences. This is why I decided to specialize in working with trauma, PTSD, dual diagnoses, and other related issues. We can work together to help you understand why you are experiencing distress and develop strategies to manage it.

You need an ally. Someone that is invested in your life and wants to be a partner that can support you along your journey. As a therapist, I strive to be that ally. I believe that it is my job to meet you exactly where you are and help you move toward where you would like to be. Empowerment is imperative to my therapeutic approach, as I believe it serves as a foundation to processing complex topics such as emotional regulation, cognitive distortions, or relationship conflicts.

We all need help sometimes. Counseling and psychotherapy can help to relieve suffering and to having more peace inside. There’s an old joke … How many therapists does it take to change a lightbulb? Just one, but the lightbulb has to want to change. It is a joint effort, no doubt. When addiction or other mental health problems are present, normal functioning and relationships can become impaired. Psychotherapy can lead to improvement of mood and functioning, relief from suffering, and to having a far better chance of experiencing happiness.

As someone diagnosed with autism as an adult, and an addict in recovery, I love working with clients who face challenges in those areas of life. Being an autistic adult in a society that is built for neurotypical individuals can be challenging. I work with clients to implement skills and create space for their needs. When working with addicts, I understand the vicious cycle of trying to get control of substance use and the process of relapse. Together we can work to overcome these challenges. Coming to therapy isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of growth and courage. Together we can create a meaningful life for you.

As humans, our natural inclination is to move away from pain. But at a certain point, we may find that the strategies that once protected us are causing us even more pain. Together we can find ways to break old cycles that are keeping you stuck in order for you to move into the wholeness you desire. Many times when healing feels impossible, it is only an indication that what we have tried so far will not suffice. Often this requires slowing down and trusting parts of ourselves that we have long ignored.

With a therapeutic relationship filled with nurturing and collaboration, along with a bit of humor and playfulness, we can explore dynamics, improve skills, and overcome barriers. Together, we identify and utilize strengths in the process of facing more challenging emotional and relational struggles. My clients, which include children, adolescents, and adults, frequently address issues such as anxieties, OCD, ADHD, trauma, negative self-worth, school/work-based challenges, perfectionism, emotional regulation, preparation/adjustment to divorce, parenting, bullying, and the overall desire to improve key relationships.

It’s truly incredible when a person sees that there’s something inside them that they want to work on, and then they go after that. It’s powerful that you’re here, that you’re searching. The people who want to be the best version of themselves, who want to break “generational cycles” and work on their mental health so that they can heal and pass down health, wholeness, peace, and light to the next generation - those are the superheroes. Our mental health is our foundation for how we relate to ourselves and world around us after all - Our God, ourselves, and others. Let's heal together and break those cycles.

Therapy with my clients is not just passive listening. It is focusing on what your words, body, memory, and subconscious self are saying. Then we work to turn that in to actions that help you reach your goals that make your life worth living. I want to listen to you and I want to WORK with you. I am drawn to working with clients who want to grow and are open to creating healthy coping skills and mindsets. I also bring humor, transparent honesty, and irreverence into therapy as ways to help shift emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.
