I have worked with children, adolescents, teenagers, and adults with a variety of mental health concerns such as anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, PTSD, history of abuse, domestic violence, and personality disorders.
No one is meant to go through this life alone, although it may feel this way. If you have been struggling lately with situations, events, or mental health symptoms, you are in the right place. You’ve taken the first step in looking for a counselor, and many times that can be the hardest step. My passion is supporting my clients through person-centered, cognitive behavioral therapies and empowering my clients with the necessary tools they need to succeed. I incorporate client interests, such as reading, music, sports, art, and writing, into our sessions to best support clients as they are working through the therapeutic process.

I have extensive experience working with adults, teens, and couples.
Life is challenging. It is helpful to find someone to talk about our challenges with, someone who truly hears us, someone who sees us and with whom we have a connection with. Perhaps you're tired of not feeling like yourself or your exhausted by your anxious thoughts, if so, I would love to have the opportunity to work with you.

Making the first call to get services is often the most challenging but you deserve to invest in yourself. You are worth it.

My clinical experience includes providing partial hospitalization and outpatient services to adolescents and adults for eating disorders, as well as comorbid issues including, but not limited to, mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, self-harm, and interpersonal issues.
I believe that we all develop and possess our own unique stories that give our lives meaning.

I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental place for you to explore those stories and to rewrite them so that they better support your goals and values, empowering you to live out those values in meaningful and fulfilling ways.

Through my clinical experience, I had the pleasure of providing outpatient and partial hospitalization services to adults for a variety of mental health concerns including, but not limited to, mood disorders, trauma, grief and loss, and interpersonal relationships.
I firmly believe in the power of an open mind and empathetic heart, both of which guide me faithfully as I strive to deliver compassion and guidance to those who are stuck in their growing process. I counsel adults using a client-centered approach that allows you, as the expert of your experiences, to guide me as we form a mutually agreed upon plan to meet you where you are at. I care as deeply about your successes and strengths as I do your concerns, so I want to help you reconnect with your best version of you. Sometimes this means looking at the different parts of you, getting to know them better, and offering healing to them.

I work with youth age 6-18 and adults who may be struggling in the following areas: Depression, including Post-Partum Depression, Anxiety-Mood Disorder, Stress management, Family conflict, Parenting skills, Coping skills, Trauma Focused CBT, Grief and Loss, Body Image issues, Student-Athlete Pressure/Balance.
Connection matters; we weren't meant to go through life's hurts and challenges alone. Oftentimes we get this connection through friends and family, but sometimes we need more than that. Sometimes it feels as though we are stuck in the spot we are in without hope of things changing. I understand that it's difficult to take that step towards counseling. My heart is to create a space to feel heard, understood, and to gain hope as we walk through those stuck points together.

I specialize in working with teen to middle-aged women dealing with self-esteem and relationship issues, as well as adults and teens dealing with relationship issues, setting boundaries, and family issues.
Do you feel lost, confused, and totally disgruntled as the world feels like it is passing you by but you’re holding all of the strings together. Getting to this point has taken a lot of you, maybe even feeling like its taken all of you. You have used so much courage, perseverance, and resilience to get to this point. This is the place where it stops. This is where you find what you have been looking for: the support, the encouragement, the ear to listen, the shoulder to cry. This is the space where you feel safe to be able to be the most vulnerable that you have ever been.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults and families.
I believe that we all need a little bit of help once in a while. I also know that sometimes we don't know how to get that help or whom to ask. I feel that therapy can be beneficial to help facilitate that change by providing an outlet or resource for those that need that help.
