Waitlist for new clients
Are you feeling isolated by the very walls you built for protection? If so, you are not alone, and I am glad you are here. Past hurts can leave us feeling inadequate, questioning our self-worth, and struggling to develop meaningful relationships. Whether you are seeking healing or personal growth, I offer a supportive and non-judgmental space to collaboratively work towards your goals. Those who work with me find themselves increasing their ability to communicate their needs in relationships, feel more empowered, recognize they are valued and worthy, and better understand and respond to their emotions.

Proverbs 29:18a "Where there is no vision the people perish." Where there is a lack of physical, emotional, intellectual, or relational goals we get lost in the chaos of stress. I strive to help client's identify their personal and relational goals and process the stressors and chaos that distract them from their goals.

Do you often find yourself stuck in a negative cycle? Perhaps you experience negative, worrisome thoughts – worst-case-scenarios and what-ifs – fueling your anxiety and depression, and in return your negative mood impacts the way you perceive yourself, your choices, and the world around you. Many people experience this cycle and feel stuck in their present lives. You might be looking for a way to get ‘unstuck’ but don’t know where to start. Through a supportive, therapeutic environment I can assist you in recognizing, challenging and changing some of these unhelpful patterns and behaviors.

I work with individuals struggling with perfectionism, panic, trauma, PTSD, depression, pornography, screen addiction, relational conflict, social skills, career, obsessive-compulsive disorder (intrusive thoughts, reassurance seeking, 'Pure O', religious scrupulosity, etc.
If you experience persistent fear, worry, or preoccupation with certain topics, therapy could be very helpful. I have specialized training in treating OCD and anxiety that can help you if you feel stuck or haven't made progress with other approaches. Many anxiety treatments focus almost solely on behavior change. We'll address behavioral changes, but also the emotional factors from your story that make these changes difficult and the rumination that keeps you feeling anxious throughout the day. In my work with many clients struggling with anxiety, I’ve found that this combination promotes healing and minimizes the chance of relapse.

Career Counseling Therapists
How do I know if I need career counseling?
Determining whether a career counselor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counseling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counselor.
Who can benefit from career counseling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counseling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counseling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counselor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counseling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.
How long does career counseling typically last?
The length of career counseling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking. Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counseling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counselor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.
How to prepare for career counseling?
Clients can prepare for career counseling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counselor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counselor, particularly if the career counselor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counseling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
