People are the expert on their own lives. As we work together to identify concerns and set goals, our work may include discussing behaviors, emotions, or thought patterns which do not serve the end goal and learning skills to manage or change them. I have experience and training to provide clinical support while someone navigates the changes they would like to see in their life. Wherever the person is in their need, that is where we will start.

Do you find yourself longing for a deeper connection with yourself and others? You want close relationships and yet these very relationships become a source of pain? Many people find their way to therapy feeling lost, confused, and alone. For me, a most valuable aspect of therapy is connecting with a caring other and being able to undo the loneliness that one feels in their experience. Feeling connected in therapy allows individuals to access important core emotions and gain a deeper sense of themselves. My goal is that people leave therapy with a renewed sense of vitality and a coherent narrative of who they are.

You’re trying your best, but life didn’t used to be this hard. Things aren’t going right. You notice it’s harder to be happy, to feel connected, or even to get out of bed in the morning. You’re tired of pretending to be okay; to be perfect. On the inside, you feel so sad, worried, and angry. You’ve pushed things down and ignored it, but you wonder how much longer you can do that. You’re used to fixing your problems on your own, but this time you can’t figure it out. You’re stuck. You want help; whether that's with OCD, burnout, adverse religious experiences, anxiety, trauma, faith & doubt, or life changes. You want to feel better!

Life is difficult. With the right tools and some effort, it does not have to be. My hope is to help you with your goals. Whether that is to feel better (less depressed, anxious or angry), improve your relationships (with a spouse, parent, child, etc.), change your behaviors (substance use, self harm, avoidance), or anything else that is important to you, I'd love the opportunity to help. I enjoy working with a number of different presenting problems. My passions are working with teens/adults, men's issues (especially navigating work and/or family life), post-partum Dads, athletes and substance use/co-occurring disorders.

Life does not always give us the opportunity to slow down and process all of the experiences that it throws at us. Oftentimes, it feels impossible to move forward when we feel paralyzed by our thoughts and feelings. I’m here to help foster a safe space in order for you to heal and grow as an individual. My specialties include depression, anxiety and stress, interpersonal and/or relationship challenges, generational trauma, PTSD, neurodiversity, and transationally adopted individuals. As a neurodivergent therapist, I am passionate about working with individuals who have been diagnosed with ADHD and/or ASD.

Working together in a collaborative, non-judgmental and client centered manner helps create change and growth. If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, self worth/self esteem problems, addiction, or have difficulty managing your relationships, I can work with you to identify healthy ways in which to cope and better manage your emotions. Together we can identify ways to help make healthy lifestyle changes both emotionally and physically. I encourage a holistic (mind, body, spirit) approach to treatment. As you become more aware of your strengths you become more confident in yourself and your abilities.
