“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel” by Maya Angelou. This is one of the bases for my work in mental health. Feelings are often ignored and discarded yet they guide our growth. Emotions not well regulated pose a stumbling block for healthy growth. Allow me to come alongside you as we unravel/untangle the knots of emotions accumulated through life’s experiences.

It's amazing that even despite our similarities as humans, we are all so very different individually. We all have our own unique experiences, challenges, and struggles. It may even feel lonely being the only one who knows your exact feelings. However, if someone could just understand a fraction of what you are going through, there can be a sense of hope - and a sense of connection.

Let me tell you about my vibe, I will tell you what I tell all my clients- "Im not the fluffy" therapist but I am your biggest cheerleader. I am not the therapist who will use fancy clinical terms, but instead I use totally random analogies that will probably make you laugh or even better yet, totally understand what Im talking about. I use sarcasm and humor but can reign it in and let my empath shine through. I work with many first responders and families in the community as I have a personal motivation to keep our heroes healthy. I have a direct client focused style and find major purpose in helping people find their worth!

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults who are comfortable with a one on one approach to counseling. Working with children in therapy always involves working with the parents. As with adolescents, providing them with a sense of privacy and trust is something I try to develop from the very beginning. For adults, privacy, confidentiality, and respect occur in a atmosphere of warmth and patience. If you are dealing with Attention Deficit Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Panic attacks, Bipolar Disorder, or Post Traumatic Stress, I am sure you will find the relief you are looking for at my office.

I believe in creating a therapeutic environment that is conducive to healing / growth. It is important I develop a strong, genuine relationship with clients that allows me to deeply understand each person's own unique experiences and to accept each person as they are without judgment.

I can help with self harming, divorce, relationship issues, identity struggles, anxiety, depression, stress, emotion regulation, etc. I am especially well versed in DBT and understanding neurodiversity.
