Do feelings of anxiety or depression leave you feeling "stuck" in life? Do you find yourself awake at night because you just can't quiet your mind, and expecting the worst when walking into unfamiliar situations, or starting new relationships? When things happen to us that are not within our control, feelings of anxiety are common. Life altering experiences are not always obvious... in fact, they can appear quite subtle, yet have a large impact on the way we view the world, and view ourselves.

It is often difficult to ask for help in the face of life's challenges. People attend therapy for a variety of reasons such as; trauma, struggling with anxiety, depression or a life altering event. Ultimately, we want to feel better and live more-productive lives. Therapy is a collaborative endeavor which takes place in a warm, open and non-judgmental environment. My role is to help clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves, what motivates their behaviors and how they can bring about change.

Life can sometimes feel difficult and overwhelming, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Allow me to support you in finding ways to feel safe, understood, and able to move forward. I believe that our emotions, especially the uncomfortable ones, provide us with important information about our needs and where we should be headed. My aim is to empower my clients to trust their inner wisdom, rebuild their sense of self, and feel more connected to those around them. In sessions, we’ll spend time talking about everyday stressors, but we’ll also look to identify patterns and dynamics that have ongoing influence in your life.

I believe that people have primary accountability for their own lives, and that within each of us is the power and capacity to make choices that will lead to happiness and fulfillment. However, sometimes there are obstacles that must first be overcome (for example, anger, depression, trauma, anxiety, sexual identity issues, relationship problems, etc.) to be able to make healthy choices. I assist my clients along their journey of self-discovery as they learn how to empower themselves to overcome their obstacles. They then are able to make choices that will lead them to the life they want to have.

Anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, depression, judgement from others, and grief can create barriers in our minds and hearts, but it doesn't have to remain that way. My clients want to recover their strengths, feel more joy, and face their life situations with more confidence. We all want to feel empowered to pursue the life they really want, so we address those issues together. I enjoy working with pre-teens and up through seniors from all cultures, traditions, backgrounds, and orientations.

Relationships can be a source of fulfillment to draw from in our lives. Often, however, miscommunication, old habits, physiological issues and daily stress create barriers preventing them from being a source of happiness and strength. Therapy can help break down barriers to improve communication, decrease conflict and increase emotional and physical intimacy. I specialize in the respectful and confidential treatment of relationship and sexual concerns. I believe in utilizing an open, honest, and sex-positive approach to help assess your unique personal goals and assist you in developing more positive and fulfilling relationships- with your self and with your partner.

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I believe each individual deserves a safe place to process life transitions, frustrations, worries, fears, or sadness. As an empathetic and nonjudgmental clinician I know it can be challenging or frightening to enter into counseling and open up. I place emphasis on creating a safe place where children, adolescents, adults, and families can comfortably explore the nature of their issues.
