Immediate openings! Frequently I have been told I am a down-to-earth listener and I create a judgment-free zone. I hear the little things, the big things, and all the in-betweens because they all are equally as important to me! That one story you tell me, I’ll bring up months afterwards, the traumatic event from your childhood, I’ll remember every detail. There is no repeating with me because I listen to every word. I am here for you through every step of the way to your life worth living. My mission is to create long lasting change for you.

I am a therapist passionate about listening to the stories of others. I provide a safe space to tackle difficult issues and heal from the affects of trauma. In the past I found myself in therapy, and when my therapist helped me improve the quality of my life I decided I wanted to sit in his chair one day. I've devoted my career to that pursuit. You may be seeking therapy due to crippling anxiety, exhausting depression or to lift the weight trauma has placed on you.

Have you ever found yourself unable to feel better, despite past attempts to think your way out and move forward? Like a cycle you can't escape? Is it sometimes hard to "human"- to socialize, get yourself to focus, to navigate sensory overwhelm, or even to communicate to others? Maybe you've seen therapists in the past who seemed to be puzzled by you or not on your wavelength so you felt stuck. Are you looking to get to the root of these challenges and heal them for good instead of chronically coping just to get by? Do you need to make a change, but don't want to simply talk about your feelings? The good news is everyone can heal.

I work with individuals and groups providing a comfortable and calming space to work out life’s challenges. Many individuals come in with patterns of behavior that have been difficult to escape. The pressure of modern society creates unique challenges and clients need a space to work out these stresses, anxieties and addictive patterns. Many of my clients work on strengthening their identity, emotional balance, acceptance in relationships and individual growth.

I have openings! If you were told you did not matter growing up, through actions or words, this will have an impact on your ability to recognize your worth. Growing up in a home with alcohol abuse, homophobia, emotional abuse, or excessive criticism can lead to feelings of worthlessness, shame, and self hatred. You may seek validation from others and fear their disapproval. This often leads to putting others needs before your own. Not understanding your worth, you may struggle following your dreams or have a career where you feel overworked and under valued. Let's flip the script, heal your wounds, and accept the person you are.

Hello, and welcome. I believe one of the most important aspects of therapy is prioritizing a collaborative, compassionate, and safe environment. I like to take a client-centered approach, making sure you are in charge of your goals but supporting you as you work to achieve them. Everyone has unique experiences and needs that I believe should be considered when it comes to therapy. I have a background in child welfare and development but have worked in a variety of settings.

Currently offering daytime appointments only I aim to meet the individualized needs of each person, couple, and family I work with and take a collaborative approach in setting goals for therapy. I use a family systems approach to explore how multiple areas of a person's life impacts their experiences and current struggles. I work on achieving these goals through personal exploration, role play and exercises used in and outside of session, implementation of improved communication skills, and boundary setting.

As an LCSW therapist, I have greatly improved the lives of children and their families by understanding that each family and child is unique. I believe the success of every child begins within the family unit. Prior to becoming an MSW therapist, I worked for 15+ years as a Montessori teacher guiding the development of children. This experience allows me to address children's academic and emotional needs. Let me help you establish a strong and positive bond with your children.
