I am an LCSW-C therapist who works with adults and couples. Life has a way of presenting people with challenges that may cause you to want to seek counseling to help you navigate your way through life's ups and downs. Sometimes these challenges make us feel stuck and uncertain, whether it be relationship issues, divorce, intimacy, death of a loved one, loss of a job, grief, suicide survivor, identity crisis, family conflict, addiction, processing trauma, sexual orientation, communicating or relating better, building coping skills and resilience, etc., or simply feeling like you are at a crossroads and not sure what to do next.

Life has a way of creating experiences that cause both physical and mental pain, loss, trauma, emotional distress, and challenges. Without notice, we find ourselves mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually stuck with little insight of how to move forward or past the experience. I would like to help you navigate through the conscious and unconscious processes that may have contributed in your struggle to heal. I will work with you to manage or resolve the things that are preventing you from enjoying fully your human journey.
