I find that the best way to be of service and support is to utilize a person-centered approach to therapy.
In all of our lives there are times when we struggle and could use support. As a licensed professional clinical counselor and licensed alcohol and drug counselor, I specialize in working with those who suffer from chemical and mental health issues. The past 18 years my professional career has been dedicated to improving the lives of teens, young adults and their families. I am also passionate about working with those who are simply trying to live a more fulfilled life.

I use person-centered, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness and EMDR modalities to help you achieve your goals.
Seeking change requires risk and risk requires vulnerability. Your first step toward therapeutic change involves courage. You are reaching out and that is not easy. One of my greatest honors as a therapist is being trusted to witness and participate in one’s healing journey. I believe in the importance of developing the therapeutic relationship and creating a space where you are able to be your authentic self.

I am passionate about helping people see the best in themselves, even during the most challenging circumstances. Sometimes this includes processing what is going on around you, sometimes this means exploring aspects of your past that have led to patterns of behavior, and sometimes this means making sense of a hectic society that can seem a little senseless. I am especially keen to work with clients who want to explore aspects of their own identity, whether it be where they came from, their family, their racial or ethnic background, their sexual orientation or gender, and/or diverse relationships.

Have you been feeling dissatisfied or discouraged in your day-to-day life? Do you feel like what you are doing falls short of what you want to accomplish? This can be pretty demoralizing, and it is not uncommon to keep doing what you are doing in the hopes that things will change or get better. Unfortunately, this is often not the case. Hoping for change is not enough for most people, and while there is comfort in knowing what to expect, it doesn’t get you any closer to the life that you deserve. You deserve to be healthy, happy, and fulfilled in all areas of your life. Together, we can get you in a place to make that happen.
