Life can be hard. I think we sometimes fall into this trap of believing that it shouldn't be and that if we feel like life is hard, there must be something wrong with us for not being able to withstand the pressure. Whether you're struggling because of internal, external, biological, societal, or emotional issues I'm here to help. It's okay to not feel okay; but together, I'm hopeful we can work toward your goals to help you become the best and happiest version of yourself possible. Seeking out therapy is a brave step that demonstrates just how resilient you are.

Life can be difficult in a variety of ways and deciding to seek mental health support can be daunting. I aim to meet you where you are at in life and be present alongside you on your journey. Whatever path you are on, I am here to offer support along the way. I hope to help my clients reach empowerment to make positive changes in their lives. I believe in the abilities humans hold inside and find it important to validate their experience. Asking for support is a sign of real strength and reinforces the value of human connection. My belief is that the therapeutic process leads one to adapt, transform, accept, and grow within oneself.

Feeling overwhelmed, lonely or down? Do you have a child or teen that is dysregulated, experiencing bullying, low self-esteem or aggression? Is your family going through transition? Having a safe place to talk and process your feelings can help. Many people aren’t sure how to find someone they can trust, or what to expect from therapy. I am committed to helping my clients find relief from cycles of emotional distress, improve their relationships and make lasting changes. I bring compassion, authenticity and a sense of humor to the therapeutic relationship.

Whether it's your first experience in therapy, or your first experience after a bad experience, I am here to help you see what therapy can truly be. Life creates challenges and barriers to help us understand who we truly are and who we want to become. We all want to find what it means to be our best selves. Sometimes this causes us to feel judgmental of ourselves, second guess boundaries we are putting down to better our lives, or we notice an overwhelming amount of negative self-talk towards ourselves.

As a practitioner of Jungian, depth, and psychodynamic psychotherapy, I specialize in supporting those who feel stuck, down, depressed, or anxious; those who are searching for purpose, calling, or meaning; and those who are interested in incorporating dreamwork into the therapeutic process. Often, when we find ourselves at a standstill or in a crisis, our potential for healing and transformation comes from the unconscious side of the psyche. Since 2014, I have specialized in supporting veterans as they seek to heal and transform after war and military service, as well as first responders in search of healing.

Asking for help is hard and you are on the way to taking your first steps. As a clinician, I recognize the importance of collaboration and the impact it can have on our well-being. Life indeed presents its share of difficulties, and having a safe space to explore those challenges is crucial. Unbiased and non-judgmental support is essential, especially when we tend to be overly critical of ourselves. It’s common to feel like some problems are beyond our control, but together, we can navigate them. Whether the issues are big or small, I’m here to join forces with you, working toward your goals and uncovering the possibilities.

Life offers us all challenges, and sometimes those challenges may seem unbearable or especially unique. Some of us experience difficulties from the time we are little children- trauma, abuse, neglect. We each have unique abilities and strengths. Sometimes, we have trouble accessing our strengths, but you have gifts in your being that are your gifts and strengths alone. My goal in working with you is to act as a catalyst -to encourage you to find your talents, abilities, and strengths that will serve you in coping with whatever difficulty life has given you.

Have you ever heard that time heals all wounds? If you're reading this, I'm guessing you've found out that this is not always true. My clients come to me struggling with issues like persistent depression, anxiety, distressing memories, relationship challenges, phobias, and poor coping mechanisms. These symptoms often trace back to unresolved events from the past. I also work with individuals who have experienced a recent traumatic event (ie. car accident, medical scare).

I continue to be humbled by how life can take a completely different and unexpected turn within a few moments. Over ten years ago, I experienced a life altering loss that required me to lean on others and dive into deep self-reflection in order to heal. My hope and desire as a therapist is to provide the space and guidance that will allow you to grieve, process, challenge and change the way you engage with life. We may not be able to forget traumatic or difficult times or make certain stressors and tendencies disappear, but we can take steps and create habits that elevate us to our potential and find lasting and genuine fulfillment.

Are you struggling to maintain your emotional health due to a specific life situation, unhealthy lifestyle or medical health issue? This is not uncommon, and the fact is you are not alone. Many people have the desire to make a positive change; however lack knowledge, guidance, or the tools needed to do so. Others may require motivation for behavior change or support in a challenging season. Regardless of your particular circumstance and needs, we can work together to make your goals a reality. I provide therapy and psychological evaluations/testing. Non denominational Christian Counseling based on the Bible is offered as requested.

I have been in the field of behavioral health since I was 21 years old, working in a residential treatment center for adolescents. In my time in the field I have come to believe that emotional regulation is at the heart of all psychological problems. Individuals seek therapy when emotional regulation breaks down. When you can emotionally regulate, it does not matter how big your problems are, you are able to function successfully. When emotional regulation breaks down, it does not matter how small your problems are, you will have difficulty functioning. My goal is to help clients develop better emotional regulation to cope with life
