Hello and welcome. I have been in the mental health field for some time, and in my journey I have found a passion for helping others, especially when there are many things to consider: physical health, mental health, spiritual health, recovery from addiction, etc... It's my belief to look at the person as a whole rather than a list of concerns.

Anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems can be very challenging. When we blow-up, it’s usually on the people we care the most about. When our relationships aren’t good, it can impact nearly everything we do. When anxiety or depression becomes too much, you can feel as though you are lost or constantly overwhelmed. I specialize in helping people who are overcome by anger, struggling with their relationships, drowning in depression, and/or frozen by anxiety. People who reach out to me for support realize they're not living the life they want. They know they’re capable of more and want to fix their situation.

Every person experiences emotions differently, and it can be scary. Therapy can help you to understand your emotions better and learn how to feel your emotions in a healthy way. Therapy isn’t just a therapist talking at you, it's a combined effort between you and your therapist. You are in control every step of the way and you get to define the progress that you make.

It’s important to me that therapy is a safe place where clients can show up as their authentic selves and leave feeling seen, heard, and understood. We will work together to build the skills and supports that empower you to live a life that makes sense for you. Pema Chodron explains how I experience the therapeutic process, “Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.”

I believe that the relationship between the therapist and client is very important. It’s very important to me that I create strong relationships with my clients based on trust and acceptance. I take a holistic approach, as our mental health is as important as our physical health, and they are often related to one another. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy and a person-centered approach. I can assist people who have mood disorders, anxiety, grief, trauma, substance abuse, parenting and family conflicts and LGBTQ support. I encourage strength and endurance in finding joy in our lives and supporting understanding to move forward.
