My passion as a therapist is helping people navigate life transitions and cope with personal challenges. I work with both teenagers and adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, loss, and the emotional aspects of living with neurological disorders. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, EMDR, and others to support my clients. With compassion and understanding, I aim to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where clients feel safe sharing their stories.

Whether you have been to therapy before or it's your first time wondering where to even start, it takes courage to take that first step.

Regardless of the situation you find yourself in, I am here to help you navigate it.

Life can throw us some curve balls. We can have extended stress and trauma that leads to depression and anxiety. There is treatment available to assist with these issues. Therapy can also relieve and possibly eliminate some somatic issues that include; chronic pain, migraines, and fatigue that often accompanies stress. Those who also suffer from traumatic injuries who now have chronic pain or phantom pain could benefit from EMDR therapy. First Responders and those in helping professions such as Teachers, Nurses, Doctors, and Therapists (To name just a few) can experience stress from being on the job. There is hope and healing!

Change is possible in all of us, even when it seems like we have been stuck in place for as long as we can remember. I believe that life happens, and there are circumstances that are out of our control that can cause us great pain and difficulties.These circumstances do not have to define who we are or how we live. I believe through a therapeutic relationship people can heal and lives can be improved. Together we will work towards building a safe and comfortable environment to allow change to begin.

When thinking about the clients I most enjoy working with I imagine the people who are willing to put in the work, even when it can be challenging. They want to know more about themselves, their experience and how to be the best version of themselves. Willing to explore how their experiences and relationships have shaped them over the years as well as how to heal from some of them as well. It can be difficult at times to determine exact goals prior to coming into therapy so we can figure those out together.

I have seen the needs of kids change and grow over the course of my career working with children. The foundation of my practice is understanding that kids do the best they can when they can, and that behavior is a form of communication. My goal is to equip kids and their parents with the tools they need to be emotionally intelligent, resilient, and prepared for social settings. I am dedicated to supporting children and their families through their most challenging times.

I encourage client-led counseling sessions, believing that you are able to enact change when you are vocal in your journey towards growth and most in-tune with yourself.
