Along with providing such an environment, I work collaboratively with clients, utilizing a strengths-based, client centered approach, to find paths toward healing and solutions that work best for them and their life situations. I believe such a therapeutic environment offers people the opportunity for personal growth and development as well as a deeper understanding of themselves.

Hello and welcome to my practice. My clinical experience is working with those who suffer from depression, anxiety and traumatic experiences. I work with the older adolescent and adult populations. My approach to helping varies according to your age, unique needs & challenges, and goals. I guide you to explore and experience the connection of your thinking, feelings and behaviors as it relates to your emotional, mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing.

Hello and welcome to my page. I can help you with a broad range of issues, including difficult transitions, grief, depression, anxiety, and trauma. My treatment style emphasizes personal strengths and positive coping, and I know that people can make changes if they are willing to work hard. I believe that counseling is a collaborative process, so with caring and respect I'll help you gain personal insight, learn strategies to better manage difficulties in your personal and professional life, and grow as a person. As an integrative therapist, I'll tailor your treatment to meet your individual needs, values, and culture.

Do you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or has it become difficult to manage your emotions? You are not alone. Life has become very difficult these days and we all need extra support and resources to help us through these tough times. Together as a team we can work on the change that you want to see in yourself.

Are you exhausted? You might feel stuck or repeating ineffective patterns in your life. Perhaps you are tormented by sleepless nights, awful dreams, feeling on edge, an ever-present tension in your body, and waiting for the other shoe to drop. Many people who experience these symptoms blame themselves, when it is the body’s natural response to what it has experienced. Could you imagine finding some relief? You are not made out of broken material, your body has been through something that didn’t make sense.

Are you a couple seeking to strengthen your bond, rebuild trust, and renew commitment? Is your family seeking support in navigating life’s complexities together? I am here to walk alongside you. You deserve a space where you feel valued and safe to be vulnerable with yourself and in your relationships. We’ll work collaboratively to enhance communication, unravel unhelpful patterns, and rediscover the connection that you and your partner or family long for. Alongside couples and family therapy, I offer support to motivated individuals and young minds 10+ looking to grow, heal, and feel better prepared to cope with life’s challenges.

Welcome to a therapeutic space where the focus is not on what's "wrong" with you, but rather on celebrating your journey towards emotional health & wellness. I am a dedicated and compassionate therapist committed to fostering acceptance, self-discovery, and emotional well-being. In my practice, I believe in embracing the concept of mental health as an integral part of our overall wellness. Just as we prioritize our physical health through primary care services, I advocate for the recognition and celebration of strategies that promote emotional health. It's about exploring the depths of self-discovery, resiliency and healing.

I believe everything about a person makes sense given where they’ve come from and what they’ve gone through. From this belief, I work with my clients to view their experiences through a lens of self-compassion and empower them to make the changes they want to see in their lives. While I have worked with people of all ages, my more recent work is focused with individuals ranging from late adolescents through adulthood. Whether you’re looking to address challenges due to recent life changes or dealing with the impact of unresolved childhood experiences I am here to help you achieve your goals.

Sometimes in life we experience a disconnect between where we want to be and where we are in our thoughts, behaviors, or relationships. I am here to help you understand yourself better so that you can begin to mindfully live life to the fullest. I specialize in working with clients through life transitions, relationship issues, family conflict, and workplace challenges. I have a passion for helping clients navigate everyday difficulties including finding balance and reducing anxiety. Additionally, I have a growing number of clients seeking to improve communication and form more meaningful connections.

“It wasn’t that bad. I should get over it.” Does that sound familiar? Many people shame themselves for being hurt by the past. Shame doesn’t stop the suffering, regardless of what caused that pain. I am a therapist committed to helping people overcome stressful or traumatic experiences so that they can live better lives. Working with me involves finding the root of the problem, like when your inner critic first took hold, and weeding it out. I primarily use EMDR for this, which allows people to process the trauma without having to give details about it.

Are you confused? Lost? Unable to understand why you aren't happy in your life? Maybe unsure of why you don't seem to be able to do "the thing?" Possibly never feeling "good enough?" Can't understand the amount of frustration and agitation you have? Or struggling to find the energy to get moving? I enjoy working with people who want to get re-acquainted with themselves. People who are curious to know how they got to where they are, and how to break the chains of their life thus far, and move in a new direction.
