I enjoy working with both adults and adolescents. Who we are is a direct result of what we experience and surround ourselves with. Because of this, a narrative is created. Sometimes the narrative we have for ourselves can be harmful. When a client is experiencing a discrepancy in his/her life, I work hard to gain understanding of how they experience the world so that I can better serve my client's needs. Gaining control of your mental health is empowering and because of this, I work to create an environment to foster growth and understanding within the clients therapeutic journey!

Waitlist for new clients
I am particularly passionate about working with adults, teens, and couples who are struggling with trauma, mood disorders, anxiety and relationship issues. I aim to guide individuals into overcoming internalized shame and guilt, embracing self-compassion, and finding their voice. As someone who felt like she didn’t have a voice growing up, I hope to provide the space for others to explore their own experiences and identities to ultimately find peace and authenticity. I have worked as a therapist for three years and have experience working with individuals and couples in multiple communities.

You might look like you have it all together to the outside world. But, behind the scenes, you have been stumbling for some time. You may lack confidence or direction, have depression or anxiety, or struggle with your day-to-day life while feeling like you have no one to go to for help. Perhaps you’re dealing with past traumas that haven’t been resolved. Whatever the reason that has brought you to me today, I encourage you to contact me and schedule an appointment.

Do you ever feel like you’re living on the margins of your life? As a therapist, I work with people to explore their lives on a deep level because it is my experience that the more deeply we work, the deeper our healing. We will work together to identify what is holding you back, has you stuck. I don't think it is what's wrong with you; I think it's what's happened to you. You may identify the stuck place as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship isuses, blocked life transitions, creativity, or spiritual growth. You may recognize this as a yearning to deepen and grow.
