I am passionate about working with all teens through adults struggling with life cycle changes, role obligations, school/work transitions, anxiety, depression, family issues, performance anxiety, communication struggles, emotional regulation, self-esteem, or anger management. If you ever have felt like “adulting” is too much, that life feels unbalanced, or that you are in a perpetual state of exhaustion, we can start by working together to find out what balance looks like for you. I am also a member of, and I am passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+ population and addressing concerns specific to that population.

Get unstuck. Whether you need couples counseling or one-on-one for anxiety, make your time and money count. I see couples for premarital work and those in conflict. We are taught to be critical—to scan our environment for flaws and errors, to assign blame, and to exercise “critical thinking.” We look at our partners and think “If you would just stop (pick your behavior), then we would be so much better together!” Will staying stuck in this mindset serve the relationship you want, or the one you have? You choose. I have a lot of life experience that tells me you can choose differently.

When we experience difficult emotions, it can be tempting to avoid these feelings. This results in disconnection with ourselves, because our feelings are there to tell us something; a boundary has been crossed, or maybe we have made a decision that is incongruent with our values. Old scripts we learned in childhood may be causing us guilt and shame, preventing us from growing into our authentic selves. This emotional friction may impact our relationships, careers, or physical health. We may have turned to substance use. Or maybe we have spun our wheels so long that now we are stuck in ruts we can’t see our way out of.

Everyone deserves a non-judgmental therapist, someone who sees the light in even the parts of ourselves we are still working on, healing, or hiding. I desire to guide others in their best and higher versions of themselves while appreciating the mechanisms used to cope thus far.

You know the phrase, “You have to help yourself before you can help others?” It may ring especially true for you, someone who is running on empty, trying to do everything for everyone. You may feel exhausted, anxious or lack motivation. You may be wondering how much longer you can keep this up. I teach people pleasers and perfectionists to be at peace with their own decisions without worrying about causing conflict or disappointing others. If you want to say no and mean it without guilt or fear I’d love to support you getting there.
