Are you struggling to live the life you’ve envisioned—one of personal fulfillment, financial stability, healthy relationships, and self-worth? You’re not alone. Many individuals and couples alike face challenges related to finances, relationship dynamics, and emotional well-being. For more than two-thirds of Americans, money is the biggest source of stress, leading to feelings of anxiety, shame, or hopelessness. These pressures often spill over into relationships, creating communication roadblocks, professional stagnation, or difficulties managing budgets and debt.

My clients are hard-working and desire a better quality of life. They are willing to be challenged, trying new techniques to move forward. I use information about normal developmental transitions to move people when they are stuck. The focus is on identity and spirituality as themes I weave into my work. This does not mean organized religion, rather concepts such as connections, acceptance, peace, and letting go. If you choose to combine religion and spiritualuity, for your own growth, that is your choice.

There you are, feeling like a total mess under the surface while others think you've got it all together. Maybe you can't shake those negative thoughts. Maybe you've been crying more than usual, or maybe you've been quick to anger. It's exhausting, right? Oh, and your relationships are way more complicated than you'd like to let on. At times you seem to be teetering on the edge and lately you're feeling like everything could come crashing down at any minute. To top it off, you aren't sleeping well which only makes things worse. I know. And I'm sorry. In therapy you can start to leave the stress behind for a fresh start.

Even when life is seemingly going well, our thoughts and feelings can make our days and nights a struggle. Living with mental illness or going through a challenging time can be like there is an ever-looming cloud blocking us from feeling the sun. It is my belief that therapy can help us see and feel the light again. Depression, anxiety, ADHD, behavioral or personality issues, and abuse & trauma can make us feel like we’re alone and without hope. Therapy can be a place where you don’t have to go through life’s struggles alone and get to learn coping strategies and solutions.

People often come to therapy to try to understand something: something about themselves, their relationships, or their past experiences. I enjoy joining my clients in these moments of exploration with warmth, attunement, and collaboration. I support clients in navigating oppressive systems and experiences in their everyday lives, as well as in their personal and ancestral pasts. I’m interested in making space for all parts of you, including the parts that may feel “bad,” shameful, or wrong. I work with individuals ages 14 and older.
