Reach out by email for fastest contact. The most powerful predictor of whether therapy will be effective is your relationship with your therapist. Finding the right one can feel overwhelming but you are already on your way. My approach is warm, empathetic and straightforward. I am accepting and direct in nature while focusing on strengths and growth. I do not "beat around the bush" as they say, while also being understanding and kind. I know how important it is to find the right "fit" with a therapist so I offer free 30 minute intro sessions so you can determine if I am the right therapist for you.

Everyone has their own story or life experiences. I assist clients with helping them process through this, challenging negative thought patterns, develop coping skills, and help resolve these previous experiences or emotions affecting them. I hope to provide a different view of the things that you are looking to address or explore in order to help you move forward in life successfully based on goals that you have set forth for yourself personally and professionally.

Therapy is an investment in your relationship to self, others, and your future health. We all go through various transitions and experiences in life that can overwhelm our capacity to cope and make sense of who we are and where we are going. Working with a clinician in this process of self-exploration can provide insights as well as actionable steps to take to lead to a healthier and more regulated version of who you already are. I firmly believe that people arrive in the therapy space with resources already within that are ready to be discovered and encouraged.

Struggling with your relationship, identity, anxiety, frustration, and/or just not feeling "you"? This can be so frustrating and debilitating! Through time together we can find "you" again. Want to not only find "you", but better "you"? Lets walk that journey together! I offer exclusively telehealth services in the evenings, which can be ideal for those individuals/couple who work during the day or before heading into your second/third shift job. (I work with people as late as midnight!)

Have you noticed persistent feelings of sadness or emptiness that seem difficult to shake off? Are you finding it difficult to navigate changes such as the journey to parenthood? Are you struggling with your relationship with food or your body and feeling like you are not good enough? Whether It's your first ever therapy appointment or you are deciding to re-establish in therapy after some time, congratulations on taking the courageous step towards prioritizing your mental health. Step into a safe space that is dedicated to providing compassionate support to navigating life's twists and turns.

Sometimes life happens and leaves us saying "I just can't handle it anymore!" You are not alone and you're in the right place to find help. I am a Christian counselor that uses evidence based approaches that nourish the mind, body, and spirit. My passion is working with couples and families. I specialize in relationship concerns, addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Change is possible and I'm committed to providing a safe environment for you to grow.

Life can feel overwhelming at times and it can also hold meaning. Although both can be true, making sense of it all while maintaining a secure connection with others is not an easy balance. Genuine and authentic relationships offer the unconditional support that is essential in building the foundation we need to explore who we are, what we value, and how it all impacts the lives of the ones we love.

Every human has the ability to heal. Sometimes, traumatic life experiences make that feel impossible to happen. You feel broken or unfixable. Maybe you ask yourself why you never feel quite good enough. Therapy can seem scary or uncomfortable, but it can be a wonderful start to healing and betterment. Asking for help is okay. As your therapist, my goal is to create a nonjudgmental environment that provides compassion, encouragement, and ultimately the support you need to begin the healing process.

Accepting New Clients in person or via Telehealth! Therapy is a space for you to process many things past, present and even future. I believe everyone can benefit from therapy. My approach with clients is number one, meeting them where they are at. You are the client and in the driver's seat. I am here to help facilitate change and work toward wellness. The therapeutic relationship is key to successful therapy and this being said, I work very hard to connect and build that relationship. I work with those suffering from anxiety and depression, couples, mood disorders and post-partum depression. I see adults, couples and teens.

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker ready to accompany you on your journey to healing. During our time together, I will provide a safe, comfortable, and warm environment where you are able to explore and process the challenges you are facing. I have experience working with clients processing trauma, life adjustments, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and sexual health.

Have you ever woken up and felt like getting out of bed was like trying to climb Mount Everest, but no one understood? Ever just thought about work and felt fear clawing at your chest and throat? Have you been told you were not “trying hard enough” or were just “unmotivated” or “lazy” when behind the scenes you try so hard it overwhelmed you? I have, and you are not alone. Now imagine waking up, jumping out of bed, feeling refreshed. Imagine knowing that despite the challenges you face you can succeed and it “fills you with determination”. Imagine that, even on the worse days, you know “this too shall pass”.

As a therapist, it is my goal to provide you a safe and comfortable space to process through difficult experiences and emotions. I want to collaborate with you to address any areas of growth that you are hoping to address. YOU, as the client, are the driving force behind our therapy work together. I work with teens aged 14-17, as well as adults 18 and older, focusing on addressing concerns related to self-esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience working with individuals across various age groups in schools, homes, and the community.

I recognize the importance of having a safe, encouraging, and nonjudgmental space to share your story and unpack life’s hardships. Working with individuals ages 5 and older from a variety of backgrounds, I strive to help my clients feel validated, supported, and comfortable in sharing and exploring their story. It is a privilege to witness and celebrate my client’s breakthroughs, successes, and self-discoveries.

Each person has a unique and valid story; it is a privilege to get to learn each client’s. As a clinician, my goal is to help discover and expand clients' existing resources and skills, in order to grow in the directions they choose. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults who may have PTSD and a history of trauma in their lives, ADHD, anxiety, depression, struggles with body image, weight stigma, and/or sexuality. I welcome clients who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community as well as those who may practice nontraditional relationship structures such as consensual nonmonogamy.

It’s okay to not be okay. Therapy is a safe place to explore trauma, hardship, self-fulfillment and so much more. I will continually strive to make those I work with feel safe, secure, seen, and heard. Using a collaborative process, I hope to guide you along the path of gaining clarity, emphasizing your ability to tap into the resources that are already within you. All the while, allowing for space in which you decide what is best for you. I work from a non judgmental position, believing all humans deserve to be accepted exactly as they are and treated with kindness.
