I know there are many paths that may have brought you here today. Maybe you’re grieving the loss of a loved one, feeling isolated and exhausted from caregiving, navigating a life transition, exploring your identity, or just looking for a safe person to walk alongside you in a difficult season. I work with clients who are interested in stepping away from black and white thinking – who want to lean into life in the gray areas, the uncertainty, the “what happens next?” moments. I’m here to support you in embracing your true self and owning your inherent worth and strength along the way.

I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and couples. Compassion, warmth, and objectivity are what I offer to everyone that walks into my practice, physically or virtually. Clients are accepted for who they are while receiving encouragement to become self-aware, grow and thrive within their communities. My goal is to create a safe space for reviving the soul (mind, will, and emotions); rebuilding weakened and destroyed personal, family and social foundations; (revealing) putting into proper perspective life's challenges and using them effectively to advance, bringing about restoration of the total being.

Life has it’s share of challenges, whether you are a new mom, starting college for the first time, or navigating & exploring your identity. Showing up to your first therapy session, you may feel as though you are alone & drowning in a sea of emotions. The most helpful thing that I can do is get in & swim with you. There are two ways of swimming, on the surface, which may look like getting through the day with coping skills, venting, & exploring day to day stressors. The second way of swimming is to dive deep & explore some dark emotional caves that they may be avoiding. Both ways can be challenging & both ways are moving forward.

I believe in meeting my clients where they are and assisting them in moving towards their goals. I take a holistic treatment approach that considers the mind, body, and environment as well as emotional well being to achieve healthy functioning. Empathy, respect, and authenticity are at the foundation of my interactions with clients. I have effectively worked with adults, adolescents, and children in overcoming emotional and behavioral obstacles through the use of CBT, solution-focused strategies, play therapy, and skills training.

I offer clients a collaborative approach to address whatever may have brought them to my door. My relationally focused psychodynamic style supports the idea that healing occurs through our connection with others. By providing a safe and solid therapeutic relationship to a person, that person begins to experience a greater range of perspective regarding their own life and the lives around them. With increased self-awareness, individuals are able to recognize that they have more choices in their lives. I have found this to be true regardless of what obstacles a person may be facing.

My passion stems from this belief: All people have the power and potential to figure out how to best live in this world. My role as a counselor is to help clarify how one's own life experiences influence their thinking, behaviors, emotions and perceptions of the world. Once a person understands the origins of their problems more deeply, they are then able to make and sustain the changes they need to move forward. It is my hope to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space in which a person can feel safe and comfortable exploring their lives and experiences.

You may be someone used to figuring things out on your own, but you’ve run out of ideas or want a fresh perspective. Maybe you have sought help before but were frustrated by the pace of your previous therapy. Perhaps life has thrown you a curveball, and it’s time to make some changes. Either way, you want real solutions as well as support and encouragement. My clinical judgment is tempered by real-world experience. I've raised two kids to adulthood, been married, divorced, and happily remarried. I’m an ex-Business guy. I have a Ph.D. in Psychology, I’ve run real businesses, coached top execs, and been helping people for 25+ years.

My goal is to provide a safe nonjudgmental space to help you work through what brings you here. As a licensed clinical social worker I believe it is vital to acknowledge the person’s strengths in the face of systematic barriers, stigma, and discrimination. My approach to therapy is integrative and collaborative which allows us to work together to identify and make progress towards goals that are most important to you. Helping you to align with your most authentic self and to process what may be getting in the way of this is what I strive to help you with.

My clients want to connect to others but are afraid. They've learned in childhood that those that are supposed to love you don't always treat you well. Yet, their deepest desires are to be seen, heard, and accepted. My clients often carry shame or guilt while also knowing deep down that they have immense strength and worth. They have the desire to move forward and live a fulfilled life, but feel stuck. Does any of this sound or feel familiar? Great news: it doesn't have to be this way! Reach out to me! Together, let’s explore a path forward—a healthy way forward—so that you can thrive. After all, you deserve to thrive.

Therapy can feel tough and intimidating, or scary and vulnerable. Yet, it's also a space for empowerment, validation, and healing . While I may have extensive training and experience in the field of mental health, I will never have expertise in a life that is entirely your own. Rather, I am here to shape and adapt therapy to the needs of every individual through guidance, empathy, skills building, distress tolerance, and emotion/trauma processing. I am here to help in every capacity I can offer; therefore, I invite any and all looking for help, insight, and a willingness to work toward an improved well-being.

Inspiration is the key to successful change and growth. Although problems can have similar origins, we as unique human beings bring to our life a perspective that is different than anyone else. As such it is important that our uniqueness is valued and respected. In helping clients with their various issues, this is the cornerstone of my approach. I see my role as a mirror, helping you to craft a plan to get from where you are currently to where you want to be based on your value system. Remember, change starts from within.

My clinical practice covers a range of mental and behavioral health challenges, including trauma exposure, depression, anxiety, interpersonal and behavioral issues, anger, substance use, and more. I have specialized training in the assessment and treatment of interpersonal trauma (e.g., abuse, combat) and trauma-related outcomes among both civilians and military personnel. Together, we can identify what’s currently keeping you from living the life you want to live and work on overcoming those obstacles. My priority is to ensure that therapy is a positive experience for all and to help each of my clients live a meaningful life.

I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking lasting healing and therapeutic change. You may be experiencing depression, anxiety, or overwhelm that is signaling the need for a different way of living and approaching your life. You may have past trauma and need a safe space to work through this. Old patterns, wounding and trauma live in our bodies and show up in many ways including in relationships, feelings, thoughts, beliefs & body sensations. We will work together to heal and integrate these through a therapeutic approach that is relational, embodied, spirit-oriented and attentive to the culture and larger systems we live in.
