Oftentimes we find ourselves focused on issues outside of our control, engaged in unhelpful thinking patterns and feeling stuck and unfulfilled in life. We may battle with symptoms of depression and anxiety which seem difficult to manage and often disrupt our daily lives and goals. We may experience relationship problems, self esteem concerns or intrusive thoughts triggered by our past.

Being a human doesn't come with a handbook, and I want to help you navigate the parts of life that you are struggling with. Adult and teenage depression, anxiety, communication, boundaries, stress, sexuality, marriage, relationships, and trauma are areas of therapy that I focus on. I am passionate about what I do and love to weave CBT, existentialism, and positive psychology into my therapeutic approach. These methods can help individuals overcome trauma, provide new perspectives, decrease pessimism, and improve motivation. My approach fosters the ability to talk without filters, embarrassment, or pressure.

Whether you are college-age or retired, unexpected changes in life can crash upon us at any time. They can come in the form of losing a job, toxic relationships, or, unfortunately, the loss of a loved one. These changes can stir up emotions which ultimately affect our abilities to function healthily. If you are a Christian who is going through trials that is testing your faith, I can provide counseling from a biblical foundation. If you do not want this, and disregard religion, because of spiritual abuse or for other reasons, I understand and will accommodate.

Let’s be honest, life throws some serious curveballs. School stress. Job burnout. Family drama. Relationships. Grief. Lonliness. Anxiety. Problems that seem unsolvable. I understand what it’s like to feel stuck. You might not even know where to start. I became a therapist because I truly want to walk alongside your journey and 100% support you. In particular, I specialize in underserved communities (minorities) due to my own negative experiences receiving “help” from professionals who weren’t helpful. Shifting from frustration to empowerment, I want to be a positive light and advocate to help you build life-changing skills and hope.

I am a psychologist with over 25 years of experience helping others to navigate life's journey. I offer a judgment-free environment to overcome life's challenges and provide a haven for self-discovery. Through this process, my clients have recognized their ability to heal and gain a greater insight into self-empowerment. I specialize in overcoming trauma, parts therapy (IFS), relationships, anxiety, depression, and more with individuals/couples in coordination with their PCP when needed. I have found that how we perceive ourselves is our reality, and, together, we can expand that perspective.

Life's struggles and experiences can cause us to feel overwhelmed, or even at times, out of control. We want to change how we are feeling or how our child feels, but we don't know how. We all experience moments like this in our lives and often we can persevere. At times though we need some help, and that's okay.
