I have a passion working with individuals, families, and children with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life's day to day challenges. Sometimes life can be hard and you don't want to face those challenges alone. My approach is to meet you where you are whether your goal is to reduce your anxiety or have a safe space to talk.

I provide counseling to individuals, families, couples, teens and older adults helping to assess and come up with ways to move through life's challenges. Each client presents with unique needs and that is the starting point to assist with a client centered plan to make changes and move forward. I have varied experience; but most clients present with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship/marital, grief or loss, life changes, challenges of neurodiversity, addictions, and employment concerns. I have worked in the mental health field for 40 years and see how empowerment and guidance can help peoples' lives vastly improve.

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.

My ideal client is someone who wants to make steps to change their life for the better. What "better" looks like depends on their needs, and we will work together to find it. They would be someone who needs a helping hand and support to reach their goals and get through life's difficult times. This person may be seeking out therapy to find support that they don't have in their life already or to bolster their existing support system.

I work primarily with neurodivergent individuals, particularly those with ADHD, autism, or AuDHD, as well as trauma, emotional difficulties, substance use/addiction and LGBTQIA+ community. Many of my clients struggle with executive dysfunction, emotional regulation, and challenges in relationships, self-care, and household tasks. Often, they feel misunderstood, grapple with low self-esteem, and face harsh inner critics. My clients seek to develop practical tools for daily life, heal from trauma, embrace their strengths, and foster self-acceptance and healthier relationships.

As human beings, we are constantly striving toward becoming our most authentic selves. When we are living life authentically, we can envision a clear path toward what is truly important to us, and can build a life filled with purpose and joy. This journey toward authenticity can become complicated by challenges such as life stressors, past trauma, mental health issues, and more. When these challenges arise, I aim to provide guidance to my clients in helping them re-align with their values and come back to what is most important in their lives, once again illuminating the path toward authenticity.
