I'm not the expert on your life, YOU are. With the perspective of an outside observer and insight born of experience, I seek to help you map out a path to pursue healing and wholeness. I believe that ignoring your heart is as dangerous as following your heart. I instead seek to help you understand what's happening in your heart, so you can explore your inner world and respond out of a place of self-awareness and growth.

A warm hello! I want to put a big welcome mat out for those who may need help but are hesitant about being open with a therapist. There is a fresh start and new hope in talking with someone who understands and is well trained to help. I am trained in psychodynamic therapy and understand people through early childhood, object relations, and attachment theory. I can help with depression, anxiety, abuse, and relationship issues. I have had extensive experience with college students and women's fertility, abortion, and loss issues. You will find me to be gentle and non-judgemental.

Sometimes, often—in fact—life seems to be living us instead of us living life. If we’re honest, we feel disconnected not only from others, but from ourselves as well. This sense of honesty requires courage, and we’re not sure we can quite muster up what is needed to reconnect, to release anxiety and fear, to move into a place of flourishing rather than just surviving. Many of us have had trauma that feels almost unspeakable, insurmountable. We may have things in our lives we’ve never been able to speak about…with anyone. And yet, your story and experiences matter, and they greatly influence the person you are and continue to become.

I value the counseling setting as a place to discuss all thoughts and feelings freely and without fear of judgment so that new associations can be made, and emotional isolation can be replaced with connection. When we understand and accept ourselves, growth and healing can occur! I create a safe space where individuals can first understand how their personal experiences have impacted their lives and then collaborate with clients in order to establish authentic insights that will shape their stories moving forward.

Seeking help from someone you have never met and discussing your most challenging life obstacles can be very uncomfortable and scary. However, at some point in our lives, searching for guidance and support outside of our friends and family may be needed in order to get you to your desired goal in life. Or maybe you are on the right path, but simply need validation and support. Whether your goals are decreasing anxiety, assisting with family conflict, or guidance with trauma, I can assist you with your desired outcome. I work with all ages from diverse backgrounds.

Whether you have had a therapeutic experience before or not the first important step is that you feel heard, validated and connected. We all have many life experiences in our past and present that at times can be challenging for us to figure out and manage on our own. We need to know that we are not alone, that we can be resilient and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I want to partner with you to help you to see and reach that light and to be where you want to be.

We are all in different seasons of life, and the best part about seasons is they only last for awhile. I have had the privilege of growing and learning through each season of my life, with the first part of my career in medical healthcare and for the last decade in mental health care. I believe that people are good and well intended. As humans living amongst other humans, we likely have experienced a traumatic event that keeps us feeling stuck or perhaps struck with anxiety, depression, and fear.
