I work with individuals, couples, and families confronting a range of challenging circumstances including, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I specialize in understanding complex family dynamics and how these play out over the life cycle. Acutely aware that life can pull the rug out from underneath us though the experince of a traumatic or extraordinary event, I use a trauma informed lens in my work. My lived expereince and theological training have taught me to appreciate the role that faith & spirituality play in healing and when asked, I will bring these tools into our work together.

I work to provide a comfortable and engaging environment to help clients build upon their strengths and improve their lives. Life has many transitions and stressors that can weigh us down.

I believe that therapy should be a journey that my clients and I travel together. I like to work collaboratively with them to empower them and teach them tools and resources they can use to help them improve their quality of life. I want everyone I see to feel comfortable so I try to provide a welcoming space free of judgment. I am passionate about caring for each and every individual who comes to me for care. I come from a more personal approach as opposed to a clinical one.

Mental health challenges affect everyone, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, or gender. You may have grown up being told that seeking therapy is a sign of weakness, but in reality, it shows courage to confront your struggles. Therapy can help you address hardships directly, preventing them from impacting other areas of life. Navigating your life's journey and finding yourself can be overwhelming. There's no shame in seeking help. I believe in the power of therapy to guide you through challenges, develop coping strategies, gain new perspectives, and utilize your strengths effectively.
