Your mind has been pushing you around with negative thoughts. You have tried to "be more positive" but that hasn't worked. You are having problems in your relationships and some days feel like a ride on an emotional rollercoaster. You know something needs to change but you aren't sure what. You are feeling stuck.

At times in our lives we will face challenges where we do not know how to move forward, we might feel stuck or abandoned, lost or overwhelmed. My approach to counseling is that of a journey we walk together. It is one of conversation, exploration, uncovering, and understanding. I believe that the key to a successful counseling experience is built from our sense of connectedness, mutual respect, trust, and honesty - not only with each other but with ourselves. I trust that you have the ability to create and enact the changes that you want and need in your life and I am here to walk this journey of self-discovery & unfolding with you.

I approach my work with deep compassion for those who have been affected and shaped by the struggles of an addicted loved one. Like many in the mental health profession, my passion springs from my own painful experiences in a family with generational addictions. I am committed to bringing my authentic self to each therapy session. It is an honor to be fully present and to hold your trust as you discover the strengths and courage to address the obstacles that are preventing you from living a meaningful, values-based life.

Hello! I'm a therapist who specializes in the Person-Centered Approach, and who works with populations over the age of 12! I have experience administering therapy in various fields, including individual, family, group, multicultural, grieving, LGBTQIA+, and others. I mainly utilize a naturalistic form of therapy that places a high emphasis on developing a strong therapeutic rapport with the client. To me, a person has the inherent ability to assert a measure of control over their present circumstances, and I strive to help the client tap into this source of internal strength. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

Childhood can be filled with exploration, and with that comes big changes, stresses, and a shift in identity and dependency. Navigating the first two decades of life is not one size fits all. Whether it’s learning to get along with friends, going to school, dealing with broken relationships, or navigating through trauma, we all need extra support. This is where I can help. I love working with young individuals to support them in becoming exactly who they want to be while working through obstacles. I have unique experiences working with youth who struggle with identity, anxiety, depression, trauma, and navigating relationships.

If college is the best four years of your life, then why do you feel like this? Stressed and alone. Surrounded by people, but struggling to connect. Wanting love, but tired of the games and swiping. Scared of the real world, and still stuck with that vape habit and yoyo diet from high school. Or maybe you were so excited for parenthood, but not for this. This is so loud and hard and nothing like the pictures online. Life transitions - my favorites being college and parenthood - can shake you up and reveal cracks you never knew were there, but they can also shake you loose from your old habits so you can grow.

My professional experience has been working with adolescents, college students, adults, working on various issues, and wanting someone to help them in the journey. No one lives life without going through something that makes them question whether they can work through it on their own. This is the very place God has for us to come to him and his strength. I have personally experienced a few of these, and have been given a calling for helping others in theirs. My practice aims to shine light on the purpose we have on this earth, and walking with you to uncover the roots of why you struggle.

Do you just want to feel closer to your partner yet find yourself in another argument? Even though you love each other, do you find yourself having the same argument over and over - repeating the same unhealthy patterns that may include blame, avoidance, criticism, etc? Are you ready to try something different? I take great joy in helping clients develop healthier ways of connecting with their significant others.

I work with both individuals and couples, empowering people to cultivate their relationships into the source of strength, hope, and life that is needed. In individual work I focus on cultivating resilience, emotional girth, and strategic approaches to difficult circumstances and relationships. In couples work my goal is to preserve and expand relationships, helping couples to grow together through life challenges in a way that is mutually beneficial and supportive. As a Christian, I also integrate matters of faith with these goals appropriate to the unique needs of each client.

Modern life is full of challenges and uncertainty, and everyone struggles at times. It’s OK to ask for help when things feel difficult, whether it’s dealing with hopelessness or overwhelm, or not feeling close to the people around you. Perhaps past traumas have led to your feeling disconnected or "not good enough," and managing your emotions feels nearly impossible. You are not alone. Finding the right support is an important step on your mental health journey, and I am here to help you work through the obstacles that are keeping you from living the life you want.

Do you have something on your mind? There are times when we all have thoughts running through our minds. Thoughts related to family, friends, relationships, school, love, spirituality, money, work, or happiness. Sometimes they are memories from your past that you're unable to let go. Maybe you can't sleep, maybe you can't eat. Maybe you have lost your purpose, who you are, what you're doing or why. It could be big, or just a small thing you want to let go. These situations can slow you down and pull your life to a stop.

I like to work with people that are interested in kindness, personal growth, and human evolution. I am curious about the aspects of our lives where we are hiding from ourselves and am moved to gently expose those areas as we are ready. Those places are guarded because there has been hurt. You and I will take the path of learning to trust, mainly ourselves and know that we are protected. The nervous system is a purposeful messenger telling us there is something to acknowledge and we experience the physical and emotional symptoms; anxiety, panic attacks, depression, misplaced anger, disconnect, unworthiness...

If you're someone who is trying to figure out who you are in the world, trying to find their way, or who just needs a solid connection with yourself and others; if you recognize a problem and a longing for change or struggling with overwhelming thoughts and emotions that keep you pushed away, leaving you in the dark, then you’re not alone and I’m here to help.
