Through life there are many transitions. Not all are positive and serve our well being. Depression, anxiety, grief and loss can come in many forms affecting life and our relationships. The courage you show coming to therapy is a strength and will be met with a safe and accepting environment. My goal is to take the journey of discovery together. Every person is unique. I will help you identify and untangle issues with an approach that works for you to move forward and provide the tools to navigate life's challenges.

Searching for a therapist can be a challenge. If you’re looking for assistance with relationship issues, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, PTSD, sexual abuse, OCD, grief or other life challenges, you have come to the right place. I am an EMDR trained therapist with additional experience in other techniques. Therapy is not "one size fits all", which is why I take a more holistic approach to helping my clients, finding what works for them.

There’s nothing more important to the therapeutic process than establishing a strong relationship between counselor and client. Through a collaborative effort, I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental space where clients of any and all backgrounds feel comfortable to tell their stories, and I provide supportive acceptance in a positive environment. Through the therapeutic process I use a variety of modalities, which allow for gentle directive and reflective approaches designed to empower clients, leading to the promotion of growth and healing.

I specialize in working with couples or relationships, families, women, trauma, and grief. People often encounter relationship dynamics, losses, or wounds that spill over into their current experiences and leave them feeling unsettled, struggling with anxiousness, or finding it difficult to feel connected to the people they love. If you want to explore these past and present patterns, we can gently dig into the therapeutic process together. Our shared goal would be to learn how to honor yourself and lean into the world with curiosity and self-compassion.

Often, our past experiences leave us wounded. The story that we tell ourselves becomes permeated with negative thoughts, low self-worth, and shame. As these feelings manifest, we become anxious and depressed. We might experience isolation, loneliness, and a loss of connection to others and to ourselves. Therapy can help us discover perspectives that create a new narrative, one in which we have different ways to manage our emotions and lead a more enjoyable life.
