My approach to therapy is that of a guide, helping people discover their own inner strength so they can make positive changes. Clients say that my laid back demeanor and calming presence allow a safe, relaxing place to talk openly and work through concerns together. While both direct and supportive, I tailor my approach based on the individual needs of each client. Whether child, teen or adult, I feel it is a privilege to help clients find healing and happiness.

I welcome you to my practice site.
If you are here at this site I make the assumption that you are secure enough to know that you deserve to feel better and have good relationships.
With a comfortable match up of therapist and client, both of us work towards understanding the challenges you face, getting some clarity about what can be changed, and learning how to take action. Getting comfortable involves feeling listened to and understood by me and developing trust that I will be knowledgeable about your subject and I will be supportive and non judgmental in this therapeutic relationship.

Therapy with me is a place to talk it out, laugh when we can, and dig deep when we need to. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, neurodivergence, or substance use challenges, I offer a safe space to explore what’s on your mind without judgment. We’ll work together to find what works for you—whether that’s processing deep emotions, building new skills, or just having someone truly listen. Life can be tough, but you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Let’s take it one step at a time, with honesty, support, and maybe even a laugh or two along the way.

I seek clients who are open to discovering their story and how it led them to their current circumstance. I am best able to nurture a relationship with a client who is aware of their reason for seeking support and is comfortable with a direct perspective to realizing their goals. My approach to working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families is centered on the philosophy that we are experiencing components of our personal story daily. When we conclude a chapter, it can impact the next chapter. By understanding our experiences and crafting our next steps, we can shape our story.
