It can feel scary, exciting, intimidating, and hopeful to finally decide to see a counselor. Sometimes it takes us years to finally reach out and make the call. It is such an honor that my clients allow me into their lives. I find that my life is enriched through knowing and experiencing my clients' lives along side them. I work hard to make my office a safe, open, affirming space. Experience has taught me that past experiences truly inform present functioning. Healing and growth is possible, as I witness it daily. I look forward to collaborating with you and I offer you the option of utilizing EMDR to enhance outcomes.

I believe that part of the human experience is to weather change. This can feel overwhelming, lonely, or confusing, and you don't have to go through it alone. Searching for a therapist can feel daunting, especially if you're already struggling. My approach to therapy is to walk alongside my clients in their journey as a fellow traveler, providing guidance and evidence-based psychotherapy theories along the way. I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and I can help you untangle complicated emotions to reveal a sense of purpose in your life.

Questioning your belief system or processing negative experiences that occurred in religious or tight-knit social contexts can be lonely and frightening. Those who speak up about their questions, thoughts and feelings, or traumatic events within the community often feel shame and isolation. Too often, they are left wondering, “Is something wrong with me?” This sense of isolation usually means people suffer quietly, feeling as though there is nowhere to turn.
