I approach my clinical work with an emphasis on relationships, attachment and the importance of multi-cultural and relational approaches. I understand the value of knowing where a client comes from and where they have been in order to collaboratively develop interventions and approaches that are safe, effective and familiar. I believe that in order to truly help clients they, and I, must understand the context in which they live and learn and that the work we do in the clinical room must be transferable to their everyday life. Many of my clients are seeking guidance on how to engage in and maintain healthy relationships.

Ever board a flight on a dark, dreary day, only to find yourself minutes later above the clouds in a clear sky? The truth is, the sun is always shining; it's just that at times, we can't see it. It's easy to loose track of the simple facts. I see therapy as a chance to remember or awaken some of the basic truths we may have known at one time, but through the ups and downs of life, have lost track of. Once reoriented to our truths, life feels more balanced and stable.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) specializing in Complex Trauma, Athletics-Focused Counseling, Gender-Affirming Care, Gambling, Alcohol and Drug use. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and athletic populations using a collaborative approach that fosters a safe and supportive therapeutic environment. My goal is to work together with you to help navigate your life’s journey. If you have ever felt blocked or unreasonably triggered, have had flashbacks to unpleasant moments in your life, or are unreasonably afraid of the future, we can work towards more adaptive responses to otherwise detrimental, "freezing" moments.

I believe that because we are born into relationships, we suffer and struggle within the context of our relationships, and we ultimately heal through our relationships—our relationships with ourselves, with each other, and sometimes with people who are no longer present in our lives. I believe in a reflective, wholistic approach to therapy, incorporating elements of a number of treatment models, from behavior-based to psychoanalytic, in order to meet each person's individual needs.

Mental health is a reflection of both our past and present experiences. These experiences accumulate and influence self-perception, relationships, and our interaction with the world. Through psychotherapy, we can examine how life events have shaped the way we think, feel, and respond to stress. I believe that psychotherapy is a collaborative experience between therapist and client and look to develop a safe and trusting relationship with my clients. Through this approach, we explore the purpose behind behaviors and ways of thinking which negatively impact the quality of one's life.

I believe that all people have the capability to live life in a way that brings them peace. Our ability to live peacefully however can be limited due to past experiences in our often fraught world. Because of such experiences we suffer, and suffering left unaddressed can lead to limiting beliefs and behaviors. These behaviors are adopted as a matter of necessity to survive, yet keep us from authenticity and happiness. The therapeutic relationship can heal and transform our lives through affirmation, validation and sustained attention on one's thoughts, feelings, story and behaviors.
