“Never give up on someone with a mental illness. When “I” is replaced by “We”, illness becomes wellness” Shannon L Alder. The stress from everyday life can be overwhelming for people of any age, and it can come from a surprising number of sources. Prolonged stress can lead to depression and anxiety, and we may not be sure where it’s coming from or what to do about it. If you are feeling hesitant about starting therapy, know that asking for help is a sign of strength and not weakness.

Therapy works best when there is a strong, trusting relationship between the client and therapist. My goal is to create a collaborative and supportive environment where you feel safe sharing your challenges and hopes for the future. I believe evidence-based therapy techniques are most successful when they are applied flexibly, taking the context of your life, personal identities, culture, and past experiences into account.

Making the decision to change is often difficult as there is comfort in holding onto old ways of thinking or patterns of behavior even when they are ineffective and no longer serve us well. My goal is to help guide you through the change or healing process. My therapeutic approach is supportive and collaborative. I work with adults and older adolescents with anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. I also have significant experience working with individuals experiencing life transitions, relationship/marital issues, stress management or coping skill difficulties, grief and loss, abuse and trauma, and substance use disorders.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, anger, self-esteem, substance use, and women’s issues/infertility/parenting while using a person-centered and trauma-informed framework.
Emotional growth is best nurtured from a compassionate, encouraging, and non-judgmental perspective. In today’s society, the expectations put on us can be quite demanding, and many times, unrealistic. As a wife and a mother, I understand how agonizing it can be to constantly ask myself, “Am I enough?” Challenging negative thoughts, though it may be difficult, is worth the risk. Living a fulfilling, happy, and productive life is priceless.

If you are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression or if you have experienced trauma in childhood or recently, I may be a good fit for you. Please send me a message to inquire further, I typically respond within 24 hours.

My primary areas of specialty include: grief, depression, anxiety, self-harm, substance/drug abuse, difficult life stressors/circumstances, relationship issues, and family issues.
Life can be incredibly challenging and scary at times. Sometimes it can feel as if you are walking through it alone, unsure of which direction to head. Therapy is a great place to find direction. In therapy, I believe in the value of a supportive, trusting relationship between myself and my clients. My goal is to make sure my clients feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I feel that therapy is a partnership between therapist and client, working together while navigating through difficulties and struggles. I take pride in developing a strong relationship with my clients so that they feel confident in their treatment journey.

I have experience working with a wide variety of concerns, including, domestic violence, depression, anxiety, grief, substance use disorders, divorce, and relational challenges.
You’re likely here because life has become overwhelmingly challenging. Sure, you’re surviving (and others may look at you and think you have it all together), but inside you feel sad, angry, ashamed, stuck, and exhausted. You’ve always been the “giver” in your life, and saying “no,” feels like a luxury and beyond your reach. If you're ready to experience a healthier life, I'd like to provide you with a space to start prioritizing yourself and get the support you need to regain a sense of control and peace. Together, we can work through complex relationships, emotions, and uncertainties you're facing in a non-judgmental environment.

Taking the step to get counseling takes a lot of courage. You are already on your way to reach your desired goals.

It is my job to guide you in your journey to reach health and happiness. I work with adults, elders, and adolescents ages 12-17 with anxiety, depression, sexual trauma, and grief and loss. I also have special insights with people who are marginalized (BIPOC, LGBT+, Women etc.).
