We're not meant to live our lives without the support and encouragement of other people. Whether you've been feeling overwhelmed, alone, or haven't had success in the past making long lasting changes towards becoming a healthy you, I would love the opportunity to help.

I have been doing outpatient therapy for the past ten years, working with adolescents and their families as well as with adults.
“I know what I need to do to feel better”, “How is talking about my problems going to do anything”,...these are just a couple of the reasons why people can be apprehensive about therapy. Let’s talk about what therapy can do for you instead. By working collaboratively we can work together to decrease anxiety and depression, increase self esteem, enhance insight and better understanding of self, as well as to identify patterns of behaviors and thinking just to name a few benefits. Therapy isn’t a magic wand, and you aren’t going to be happy every day, or never experience stress again.

Quite honestly, life can suck. You have all these problems and no space or time to breathe. Therapy is not just solving those immediate problems, but working to create lifelong stability through coping skills and tools. Whether you have relational stress with a loved one, or just general life stress and anxiety, therapy can be a great way to work through all that. I work with clients to create healthy, lifelong coping skills and release unwanted burdens from their lives. My goal is to support clients where they are while challenging them through therapy to grow into who they want to be.

I work with individuals and couples both in person and online, via telehealth. I've worked frequently with trauma and have received EMDR and Gottman Level 1 training. I believe in the power of perspective and utilizing internal strengths to overcome life’s difficulties and hardships. Therapy is a great way to explore what has been holding you back in life and find new pathways to changes in your life that you desire. I know this process can be difficult and I work hard to ensure that my office is a judgment-free safe space where you can explore yourself and the process.
