My philosophy toward therapy is first and foremost to honor the trust that you’ve placed in my position as guide. As we travel through our adulthood there are many twists and turns, losses, and life changes that we experience. We are surprised by sudden loss of enthusiasm, friends or loved ones departing, and other shifts. I specialize in working with those experiencing anxiety, depression, and burnout related to these changes. I approach each session from a humanistic and person-centered informed approach. As a guide, I will help you evolve toward a more empowered path to your life, while focusing on short- and long-term goals.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed with life’s challenges or simply want to work on achieving better balance in your life, we can help guide you. Perhaps you’ve been trying to manage depression, anxiety, substance abuse issues, trauma effects on your own, and feel that it is all a bit too much. At times, we can be our own worst critics, and struggle to manage our self-doubt. We realize that deciding to seek out a therapist can be a difficult task, and you want someone who will be there for you, and help you get to where you want to be in your life without judgment.

Utilizing warmth, a sense of humor, and providing an emotionally safe environment for my clients, I am able to help and support their process.

When we are in the eye of the storm; it's difficult to sort through what is happening around us, and how it affects us on the inside. Simply starting therapy is often the hardest part.
