My belief in every person’s inherent worth, dignity, and ability to heal and grow have been a driving force in what has led me to become a therapist. As human beings, we crave connection from our earliest moments, yet sometimes we experience pain that prompts us to protect ourselves or creates suffering. I work with people of all ages; children, teens and adults; witnessing the growth that can come from this collaborative relationship. In our work together we will help you connect with your compassionate, courageous self; paving the way for greater connections with others and with yourself.

I want to hear your story so that you don't feel alone with it anymore. LGBTQ+ and ENM-affirming. Therapy for therapists. Supervision for SC licensure. Nurturing and non-judgemental is my priority; despite society's messages, humans need support and connection to feel safe enough to heal and grow. For over 10 years I have been helping people navigate their complex feelings, especially when it comes to trauma. Every individual has value. Through therapy, I'll help you believe in your value.

Your emotions are on a constant rollercoaster. Just when it seems like the ride is ending the rollercoaster starts to gain speed again. You’re quick to react to anything that bothers you. You find myself arguing and explosive to the people you care about most. Your marriage is on the verge of divorce and are constantly arguing with your children. Friendships are nonexistent. It’s hard to stay focused at work, you are being passed up for promotions, and find you’re in conflict with co-workers a lot. You’re always stressed out and feel like you are on the verge of a mental breakdown.” Sound familiar?

We all have a story and some chapters tend to be more difficult to remember and understand than others. I assist others in processing through, coping with, & resolving the ways in which our life experiences are impacting our current state of functioning & well-being. Often times, finding our way feels impossible but my approach is to be a guiding light on your healing journey. Landing onto this page is your first step in a brave, yet perhaps scary new beginning. My approach is practical & often direct, however driven with compassion and non-judgement. I often tailor my sessions with a bit of humor if appropriate.

Finding the right therapist is based upon the connection and "goodness of fit". My approach to providing therapy is collaborative, relational, direct, warmth and with a sense of humor. If you have been having challenges and or stuck with creating meaningful changes in your life, I will help you first identify the kinds of roadblocks & blinders that are preventing you to give you a better understanding of why it has been difficult. There were patterns from your history, relationships & past conditioning that we might need to dive in to process. My hope is to engage, empower & foster hope towards your healing, learning & growth

Feeling exhausted? Overwhelmed? Irritated? Life is hard. Plain and simple. Situations and circumstances so often drive us in a direction we weren't prepared. So many of us have a hard time figuring out what to do in these moments. I have worked with nurses, doctors, educators, mothers, teen girls, college students, persons involved with DHS/DCF, birth & adoptive parents, pregnant women, LGBTQIA persons and so many others who have been through big life events, albeit trauma or otherwise, that have landed them in a place that feels dark and confusing. Anxiety can come in forms that we didn't know existed - until we are there.
