Life can be hard, especially in today's world. It's easy to feel isolated, overwhelmed, and disconnected. If you're struggling with depression, focus, anxiety, burnout, sleep, or simply feeling stuck, you're not alone. Many people I see have goals they want to achieve and are not where they want to be. They experience a loss of energy due to barriers that hold them back such as Internet addiction, procrastination, and lack of confidence. I specialize in helping individuals navigate these challenges and find their path to healing and growth.

You’re stuck in a loop of anxiety, and it’s only getting worse. You’ve told yourself ‘it is what it is,’ but it’s not going away. Each day feels heavier, and no matter how much you try to push through, it clings to you. You’re not living the life you want, and deep down, you know it. This isn’t sustainable. You can’t just keep ignoring it, hoping it’ll fix itself. It won’t. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to fight this battle alone. We can break this cycle and finally make real changes.

My approach to therapy is informed by mindfulness practices, focused on assisting my clients in "opening up" to the present moment while connecting to their values to strive toward their "Best Self!" I focus on assisting clients in attending to their relational concerns, which allows for them to overcome the emotional distress associated with a history of difficult and painful relationships. I find that it is my duty to establish a safe space where clients feel truly understood. In doing so, I feel honored to be able to "BE" with my clients, as they strive toward growth and empowerment.

Stories have always fascinated me. They have the power to move us emotionally, to educate and instruct, to entertain us, and to cultivate true compassion and empathy through the act of sharing a story with another. They are also a powerful vehicle for how we perceive, interpret, define and live our lives, yet sometimes it can be easy to forget that we can be the authors of our story, not just a character proceeding along some previously determined narrative.

My clients want to make changes in their lives. They believe that healing is possible for both body and mind. When they feel safe enough, they bravely share the old stories about themselves and the no-longer-helpful ways of dealing with the world that kept them feeling sick or stuck. They keep showing up when the going gets rough, because they’ve seen for themselves that they can trust the process, and they’re willing to keep working it until it works, one day at a time.

I am a Clinical Psychologist and I work well with individuals and couples who are interested in developing deeper knowledge of themselves, their relationships, and those around them. Together with my clients, I seek to understand each person in order to promote healing and healthier living going forward. Clients who benefit from my method are verbal, insight-oriented, and motivated to grow into the healthiest version of themselves they can become. Clients often come with symptoms such as anxiety or depression, but once they feel some relief they choose to explore the underlying reasons for these symptoms.

I am warm, compassionately direct, down-to-earth, and witty. I have been told I have a calming and grounding presence. I bring more than 20 years experience as a therapist working with individuals and couples in a wide variety of clinical settings. I specialize in couples counseling, addictions and substance use, trauma, relationship concerns, grief, depression, and mood disorders, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and personality disorders. Having a safe, non-judgmental person to confide in can be very healing. Most of us have few experiences of being unconditionally accepted, empowered, or encouraged to live our authentic self with courage.

I provide quality mental health counseling and therapy that is thoughtfully tailored to your needs. Our work together will address concerns in an empowering and centering way that produces substantive change. My approach is connective (Therapy works best when we are able to connect and work well together) and directive (by directive I mean that I give things for you to do during the week like writing, journaling, reading, exercises, reflections, and/or activities). I'm known for being helpful with people who have been through therapy and haven't had success. I help people find aliveness, creativity, and strength.
