Hi there! I specialize in working with folks who are experiencing behaviors and emotions that are difficult to understand. Together, we can explore what those thoughts and feelings are, how best to understand them, learn about treatment approaches, and set goals. I enjoy helping to build a support network that has your best interest at heart, and allows you to share your experience with those supports in a way that gives you choice and dignity. LGBTQAI+ affirming and compassionate care is the standard here, as is support around accessing reproductive healthcare.

Transitions to new roles, the loss of old ones or the stress of current roles can sometimes bring challenges, mixed emotions, difficult thoughts, and new behaviors that may surprise us. It can be hard to find stability in an ever-changing path and at times can impact our daily life and relationships. Transitions in identity to new parenting roles, new jobs, or job stress, moving away from family, or starting a new educational path can all present challenges we may not have expected.

Whether this is your first time reaching out to a therapist, or a process you’ve been through before, I am happy you’re here and making this first step. My primary goal as a therapist is to hold space to process, heal, explore, and rebuild the relationship one has with themselves. I view the relationship between therapist and client as a partnership and aim to support those who are ready to actively engage in their healing.

People often seek therapy following life changes where customary ways of coping are no longer sufficient to meet the demands of their world. I consider the focus of my work as a therapist the development of a safe and trusting relationship where I can help a person discuss difficult feelings as well as identify problematic interpersonal patterns that may be getting in the way of personal goals and successful relationships. I then work closely and collaboratively with my client to develop creative and effective ways to move past these roadblocks.

My primary focus is working with adults, teens, couples, families, and veterans that struggle with, but not limited to, trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship/family issues. It is my experience that clients know themselves better than anyone else and that there is no single approach that is right for every one individual. That is why I see therapy as a joint venture where our knowledge and skills are combined to create solutions and positive outcomes. I believe that the best therapeutic relationships include trust, respect, authenticity, and shared decision-making.

Therapy can be a great opportunity to add support for yourself and provide tools that you may not have had access to before. Making the decision to start therapy, either for yourself or for your child, can feel overwhelming. Therapy and therapists are not a one size fits all, so it's important to find the fit that is right for you and/or your family. I believe healing and change can occur, but taking a risk is required to do so. If you or your child are struggling with processing trauma history, grief/loss, parenting issues, stress management, adjustment issues, mood disorders, depression, and anxiety, you don't have to do it alone.

Facing new and stressful situations is common. Sometimes we are satisfied with our ability to respond. At other times, we may feel stuck, inadequate, or unable to find a purpose for moving forward. Maybe we missed something significant, fell into an old and unwanted pattern, or wish things would go differently in our relationships. Whether looking through a lens of deficit or strength, family influence or individual accomplishment, we can examine our lives, learn more about ourselves, and find ways to move through difficult situations.

We've been there. Feeling lost, alone, unsupported, maybe even misunderstood. Having someone who hears you, understands you, and supports you without judgment is essential. Hopefully, whether that is with me or someone else, I hope that you get the support you need. I believe that culture, environments, and individuals influence us deeply and through counseling, we can tackle some of life's curveballs and hurdles together.

I work with clients from all backgrounds, religions, gender identity, and sexual orientation. I believe that as we move through life we encounter moments that cause us to adapt; whether from trauma, unmet expectations, humiliation, lack of nurturing, societal pressure, or our role within our family. We cultivate these adaptations and carry them with us, applying them to new parts of life where they may no longer be needed. If we learn to meet ourselves with compassion, gratitude, and curiosity, getting to know the parts of us that work so diligently to protect us, we can begin to uncover and heal the deeper wounds that they shield.
