People are sometimes challenged by turbulent emotions, transitions, losses or chronic mood issues. The day to day experience of emotional distress or an underlying sense of uneasiness affect vitality and are difficult to endure over time. Verbal dialogue within a relationship designed for you to freely express yourself, explore feelings and discover unconscious factors impacting you describes the change process of psychotherapy. I have seen many individuals over the years not only have symptom relief but find new paths while shedding patterns of disabling emotions, thoughts and behavior.

Waitlist for new clients
I enjoy working with adolescents and adults (both individuals and couples), helping them find relief from depression, anxiety, grief, life-stage transitions, as well as family and intimate relationship problems. I like helping my clients figure out how to reduce the impact of anxiety, stress, or depression on their lives and take steps to safeguard their mental health. It is a privilege to watch my clients grow and heal, investing in themselves as they work toward overcoming their environmental, psychological challenges and other problems that hold them back from leading more peaceful and fulfilling lives.

It is tough to find meaning in your life when you are surrounded by struggles and it feels like nobody truly understands what you are going through. Enter your new therapist, ready to assist you in reaching your goals and transforming from mere survival to genuine thriving.

I value having an authentic connection in therapy. I think a good fit in the relationship between client and therapist is an important foundation. My goal is to understand precisely what clients want to work on and help them reach their goals. I am actively involved in the dialogue of the session and like to provide validation, education, and options for responding to problems.

My approach to therapy is rooted in understanding, compassion, and evidence-based techniques. Being with me feels relaxed, approachable, and genuine, much like a comforting chat over coffee. I firmly believe that therapy is a collaborative journey where the therapist and client work hand in hand to navigate challenges and seek growth. My style is both empathetic and proactive, aiming to help individuals reframe unhelpful thought patterns and build effective coping mechanisms.

Sometimes we get caught up in the messiness of life and forget to enjoy it! I get it, life can be stressful. All of our feelings are normal but sometimes we feel them more intense and they might even make our day to day lives extra challenging (anxiety, depression, low self-esteem… sound familiar?) You are deserving of a life you enjoy living and I am here to help you get back to your best, authentic self.

Wondering why you can't seem to maintain satisfying relationships? Do you oftentimes struggle with identity asking, 'who am I or who should I be?' You have become an expert caretaker specializing in denying your true self and placing other's needs before your own. You have difficulty trusting others with your whole heart and live in fear of not getting your own emotional needs met. Outwardly you appear secure, you have learned to be a doer and a perfectionist, but inwardly you feel fragile and abandoned. Others have accused you of being needy and sensitive which further dismisses who you are. Sounding familiar?

Many clients have experienced unaddressed trauma that bleeds into their current lived experience. My ideal client is anyone who recognizes that they are in need of help with navigating the daily challenges of life including the areas of college/career, academic, relationships, social and emotional concerns. Ideally, when clients come to me they recognize that they can't do it alone and are seeking assistance from a professional who is skilled in bringing insight and awareness to clients in a way that is palatable and can be digested by the client. They have moved past the pre-contemplative stage of change and into taking action.

I believe that therapy can be beneficial to most people during this journey we call life. There are various obstacles and challenges that can make it difficult, and at times very overwhelming for us to deal with. You are not alone! Many individuals that I have worked with over the years find it comforting to be able to confide in someone kind, empathetic, and objective; who can work collaboratively toward their goals. You are an expert in your life, so it's important to note that therapy is a collaborative experience where we work toward your identified goals.

Taking the first step can be difficult, but here you are – taking that step, being brave, and showing up for yourself. If you have been struggling with depression, anxiety, or life stress, I welcome you as you bravely choose to show up for yourself and make yourself a priority. My approach to therapy is person-centered and strengths-based, focusing on a psychodynamic approach to target what matters most to you.

I am a therapist with a variety of skills, education and past work experience. I like to think of myself as eclectic. I see therapy as a safe and supportive place to explore your personal feelings, issues, joys, frustrations, dilemmas and concerns, all in a "Judgement Free" zone. I believe that everyone needs help now and again and I can offer you suggestions/ideas from a perspective that is different from yours. Sometimes a different perspective is all you need to navigate safely and gracefully over the mountain in front of you.

It takes strength to ask for help. Each person lives a life full of unique circumstances and challenges. I believe in partnering with my clients to help them develop their potential and find the path that is right for them. My goal is to empower clients to live their best lives. I enjoy seeing the pride my clients have when they've succeeded in reaching their goals. These goals are often hidden in everyday stressors and the challenges we face, and by exploring challenges in a safe environment, I support my clients in unlocking their goals and fulfilling them.

Do you feel like you are a tangled mess tied into a giant knot thrown into a dark corner? Are you not sure where to start but know you want help? Are you starting on a new or exciting phase in life but instead of feeling happy, you just want things to go back to the way they were? I know it can feel so frustrating, wanting to live, and parts of you are holding you back.

Your smile is different – once natural, it is now wavering, feeling more like a lie with each passing day. You’ve had to keep it plastered on your face for as long as you can remember: to look happy, to keep the peace, to not be noticed as a problem. The thought of standing out now as someone who needs help, who isn’t okay all the time, is terrifying. Yet you don’t know how long you can keep this up. Everything in your life feels out of control, and anxiety and isolation weigh heavy on your heart. You’re wondering why, after so many years of successfully keeping your emotions under wraps, they now seem to be running your life.
