If there was ever a time when you have felt alone, lost, and confused with how you’re wanting to find help and find a therapist. You’re in the right place, whether it would be starting therapy with me or giving me the opportunity to help you find a therapist — I would want what is best for you. To find someone to walk with you on your journey, be the person to challenge you and to comfort you when needed and to be the person to help you reach your goals. The feeling of starting is always scary but, it’s something we can start together.

An emotion lasts for ninety seconds. I have aided individuals and families with owning and claiming their narratives for over 10 years. Having to reverse or defend an opinion that others have placed on you impedes our daily functioning, work life, schooling, family dynamics, and social life. In my practice I want to give you motivation and tools to maximize your life. In order to navigate this process we will discuss how you can practice mindfulness to customize your healing journey. No one should be alone as they go through constructing their life’s narrative. I would like to help you begin your mental health journey.

Life is unexpected and sometimes we struggle with finding our path. My goal in therapy is to work with my clients on being comfortable with vulnerability. I believe that consciously choosing to not hide your emotions or desires from others is key to healing and growth. In therapy I learn about and help my clients use their unique strengths to help them resolve current conflicts. I am working on certification in perinatal care and menopause. My focus is primarily assisting women experiencing depression and anxiety, but I also take male clients.

My ideal client is age 8 or over, wants to explore making changes in their life, and sees therapy as a piece of that process. I love spontaneous and outside of the box thinkers, and clients who are willing to try unconventional strategies to heal. I have 10 years experience working with children, teens and adults with Autism, ADHD, executive functioning concerns, high-functioning anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, and other disabilities. I am an LGBT+ affirming therapist. I will provide psychoeducation and resources along the way so you can understand the work we do.

Accepting NEW Clients - We all experience challenging seasons in life and need someone to help us make sense of our circumstances. We all go through transitions and loss. Sometimes unexpectedly, our life changes, or we've been struggling with something for too long in isolation, and you've been afraid to ask for help. I gently invite you, when you are ready, to contact me so I may help you heal. When we heal ourselves, we begin to attract other healthy people into our lives.

When do you to take your car in for service? Warning lights or routine maintenance guide these decisions to keep our vehicles in optimal working condition. Without the required service, your vehicle will fail to operate. Relationships also stop working when we do not maintain them. Similar to vehicles, we often need additional assistance to get it up and running. Is your relationship due for a tune-up or a complete overhaul? Outside of a thorough assessment I will help individuals and couples navigate through their symptoms and relational stress by not only fostering insight, but encouraging an ability to tackle future obstacles.

As a therapist my goal is to provide a safe and honest environment where all clients feel empowered. Therapy can be one of the most powerful gifts we can give ourselves and our loved ones. This experience can open doors to better understanding of family and transitional situations, assist with development of communication skills and provide valuable tools for coping with trauma or other challenges in life. My client-first approach involves working together to understand your unique experiences and assist you in achieving personal goals. I strive to be an ally, advocate, and conscientious facilitator during our time together.

I work with adults in their 30s-70s who is overwhelmed with chronic stress, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, grief/loss and/or life disrupting childhood trauma/post-traumatic stress. I also work with individuals and couples who want to resolve problems within their relationships, life transitions, divorce, including cultural identity issues. I work well with men who are in midlife (30s-70s) struggling with anxiety, aging and/or depression. I also work with those who are going through many life changes and identity conflicts. These clients often feel lost, stuck and alone. Their anxiety, negativity and low mood is out of control.

Food was my best friend and my worst enemy. I would constantly anticipate the pleasure of eating something and simultaneously fight every impulse to "give in". If you are caught up in a war with food and your body, I get it. It probably feels like you're all alone in it, a warrior fighting a hidden battle that no one else can see, and you're desperate to win. I've been on the battle field too, and I found my way out. As a health coach and counselor, I have 15 years of experience working with women who struggle with emotional eating, binging, and over-eating.

Hello! I am so glad you're here & looking for support! I would be honored to walk alongside you as you move through life and any challenges that arise. I believe that you can make changes in your life - even when you feel stuck or alone. Maybe your mood impacts your ability to feel fully present with yourself and others.

I believe that compassion, authenticity, and attunement are essential building blocks for the therapeutic relationship.
