Life is full of transitions, and while some are smooth, others can be a little more on the bumpy side. Those bumps in the road can affect our overall well-being, mentally and physically. Often, we may not even realize just how much mental health is affected by stressors that emerge in life. I am committed to helping guide you through the challenges and find helpful ways to cope. I provide services utilizing a person-centered approach, which encourages clients to be active and take the reins during sessions and throughout treatment.

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.

Everyone we encounter in our lives plays a part in our story. Each experience leads to decisions that develop who we are. Sometimes we come to an encounter or experience that we aren't sure how to interpret, or work through. When we experience mental health symptoms or life stress that impairs our functioning, it is important to seek, learn, and utilize skills to get back to functioning that helps us achieve our goals.

I am passionate about serving children, adolescents, adults and families. By partnering with my clients, I see tremendous growth towards their goals and improvement in general well being. When working with children and teens, I take a systems approach and work closely with caregivers to provide the most comprehensive care possible.

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.

You have so much going for you. You have a great group of friends, a spouse/partner that supports you, healthy children, and a job that you enjoy. But you can't help the feeling that something is missing. "Why don't I feel fulfilled?" "Why am I not happy?" "Am I missing something?" These are common issues many women face but feel they are struggling alone. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to feel fulfilled. Reconnect with the happy woman inside of you.

You will not go where you have not yet been without learning to do what you have not yet done. Many seek wellness, peace, joy, and such believing they must discover it for themselves, by themselves. Yet we see example after example that the most successful have guides, coaches, mentors, or counselors.

I believe everyone deserves happiness, joy, and belonging. Not everyone has the support and skills they need to make that happen. I'm here to help. I have 10 years of experience helping others work through life challenges big and small. If you're dealing with overwhelm, lack of motivation, feeling stuck, relationship issues, parenting issues, anxiety, depression, or just confusion about why life seems so much harder, heavier, more complicated for you than everyone else. Let's work on this together.

I am especially passionate about working with children and adolescents, as I believe they are our future. I became a counselor to help young people learn and develop coping skills they can carry with them into adulthood, fostering resilience and emotional well-being from an early age.

Life can throw us off balance because of relationship issues, the need to set boundaries, depression, anxiety or just because life is… Life. I can help you find your inner voice - your source of self-reliance, self-assurance and self-empowerment. Sometimes knowing that you are not alone and have someone to help you stand when times get rough can make all the difference.

Does your child, adolescent, or teen exhibit concerning behaviors at home or school? I believe we should strive to look beyond the concerning behaviors exhibited by our children. What if we shift the perspective from viewing the behavior as problematic to seeing the behavior as a form of communication? My goal as a therapist is to translate this form of communication to create a bridge of understanding between caregivers and their children. As an adult, “adulting” is hard. Therapy can be a positive outlet to explore new coping skills and a self-care routine. It can also be a place to process through life stressors or trauma.

We are not meant to live life alone, but rather deeply involved in relationships. Some of these relationships are highly successful, while others have come with great loss, significant struggle or just the every day difficulty of learning to live and enjoy life with another person. I believe in the value of working through personal problems in the context of building stronger relationships. I will help you work through this on a personal level or with whomever you are needing to have a restored relationship with.
