In our fast-paced world it’s easy to lose track of who we are, what we need, and where we’re headed. It can be difficult to cultivate community or to break out of unfulfilling routines, and life transitions can throw us off center. I value creating a safe, supportive space for you to slow down, express yourself authentically, and connect with your true self so that you can live your fullest, most vibrant life. I enjoy supporting individuals in adopting a lens of curiosity and self-compassion, building self-esteem, developing resilience in later life and navigating life transitions.

I am devoted to helping people not only address their physical and mental health, but also to identify how stigma impacts the healing process. I began in 2014, working with both adolescents experiencing Substance Use Disorder and their families. Since that time, I have developed skills working with people experiencing a wider range of challenges including: depression and other mood disorders, anxiety, and trauma. My intention in every session is to provide a safe space for people of any race, gender, sexual orientation or family structure (however that may look for you). Asking for help is hard and I can only hope to honor that.

As a therapist, I understand the significance of feeling safe, heard, and validated. I strive to provide an environment that is not only safe but culturally affirming, non judgemental, supportive, and accountable. I utilize laughter and humor as a big part of my approach in session. Pain, sadness, grief, stress, etc are carried throughout our day to day - and honestly, it’s exhausting. My primary goal is to meet you where you are and join you on your journey in healing to harvest joy, improve your mood, develop relationships, and embrace self-love.

I believe in transformation - yours (and mine), and that the draw towards the good is irresistible. Whatever challenges you face, there’s a way forward. How you see yourself - and those around you - can make all the difference. I want to know your story, how you tell it, and where you hope it will go. You’ll have a partner as you navigate life transitions and circumstances, learn to better manage difficult thoughts and feelings, change patterns that no longer serve you, and improve relationships. As your unfoldment happens (and yes, it's always messy), you’ll have an ally in this incredibly difficult yet doable work.

I know that taking the step to begin therapy can be really hard, because... feelings. We have them, whether we want to or not. Understanding our thoughts and behaviors can also be hard. And making changes to improve our lives may be the hardest of all. My job is to acknowledge that this is hard, and to validate your feelings, whatever they are. I will sit in those feelings with you. I will also get to know you and your story, the people and things that are important to you, and help you set goals around what you want to focus on (such as learning skills, moving through difficult experiences, or utilizing therapeutic techniques).

As a former manager, trainer, and substitute teacher I have been able to work in many capacities. Now, my hope as a counselor is to guide clients on their journey through their difficulties as they discover autonomy, empowerment, and self-determination. I want to meet each client where they are in the present moment and explore individual needs as we build necessary skills for the future. Every person we meet is unique, and I believe understanding the “whole” of the individual is a key to exploring and cultivating authenticity. Building a foundation of self-compassion and kindness to oneself is a wonderful place to begin.

Have you come to a place in life where everything feels completely wrong, somewhere between longing and not belonging? Throughout my 20 years in the field of clinical social work, I have learned that healing is not a linear path, and there is no “one size fits all” approach. I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD management, shame resilience, negative self talk, family of origin, perfectionism, grief, interpersonal relationship, acculturation, identity development and trauma. I have a special interest in working with multicultural college students, university faculty, and their families.
