As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I often work with clients who are suffering from anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, esteem issues, and relationship difficulties. I take a collaborative and relational approach to counseling. I can offer a warm and safe space for exploration and growth. The populations I am best suited to work with are individuals who are motivated toward healthier intrapersonal development, clients interested in creating stronger interpersonal connections, as well as women in destructive relationships.

Life can bring many unexpected challenges that cause an emotional wave. These emotions can impact one’s relationships at home, work, with friends or simply impact day-to-day activities. You may find yourself feeling anxious, sad, helpless, overwhelmed or just plain stuck. The supportive relationships you have may not be enough to help you through difficult days as they seem too frequent, or you are afraid to be judged or get unwanted advice. If you need a comfortable, safe, judgment free environment to ask questions, feel heard, understood, process your thoughts and build upon your strengths, it is time to reach out for help!

My goal is to encourage growth while fostering a supportive atmosphere. I utilize evidence-based treatment with a fun, hands-on approach to help clients with the barriers they may face. I believe in identifying each client’s individual strengths to help empower and inspire. I am also a strong advocate that therapy should be a collaborative experience. I value working with clients from all backgrounds, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, and abilities.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, having relationship difficulties, or possibly trying to overcome an addiction? Contemplating whether or not therapy can help? Let me say, this is the moment to do something different in your life. Whether you feel that your relationship is stuck in the same repetitive pattern; or trying to overcome an addiction; or maybe having difficulties in day-to-day life due to prior traumatic experiences. I can help you gain a better understanding of not only how trauma impacts our daily functioning; but how relationships work, and how problems can be resolved in even the most challenging situations.

Have you experienced anxiety, depression, trauma, or substance use concerns? Do you recognize struggles with self worth, or feeling like you can't stay grounded or present in your everyday life? These can be very difficult problems to navigate, and therapy can help. I believe healing takes place through our relationships with others, and I provide a judgement free safe space to help this happen. I love to work with adolescents (16+) and adults on their own healing journey and guide you in finding your own strength in the process.

I believe that it is the health in you, your hope that life can be better, that is motivating you to seek therapy. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, a personal crisis or any other number of issues, but it is your desire to live and to thrive that is ultimately leading you to take this step. I believe that my role as therapist is to be actively engaged with you in the process of building on that health and hope, to create a richer, fuller life.

As relational beings, we are instinctively wired for connection. It is within the context of relationship that we discover our potential for transformative change. Therapy is a collaborative process of uncovering this potential by cultivating a deep, trusting relationship. I believe it's imperative to provide therapy that goes beyond merely treating symptoms. This is why I take a depth-oriented approach in order for us to discover the root causes & work through barriers. I also believe in the importance of honoring the developmental, biological, sociocultural, and interpersonal parts of yourself to assist in the healing process.

Your life looks good on the outside but you are struggling on the inside. You try to be grateful but feel disconnected from your purpose and the people you love. You've tried to do everything right but secretly wonder if you've gotten it all wrong. The stress of your internal tug-of-war has left you feeling like a wave of anxiety or depression may hit at any moment.

I help people work through the difficulties that come when our emotional lives or relationships are upset. I work to help you identify and address the patterns in relationships and the feelings that can leave us depressed, anxious, disconnected; grieving. My role is to listen to your story with care and attention, seeking to understand what has happened. This may lead me to share my ideas about how I see and understand you and what you bring in to talk about. Together we work to resolve the difficulties you are having by helping you connect with yourself and others.

Life can be challenging and difficult to navigate, especially without support. During the therapeutic process, I look at how our environment, life experience, and current relationships have an impact on the decisions we make. I work with adults and young adults individually and in couples from all walks of life and belief systems who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, personality disorders, adjustment issues, anger management, relationship issues, and more by using evidenced-based approaches and interventions/techniques.
