Life is full of many unexpected changes and challenges. I believe that when someone is experiencing a difficult life event, there is the opportunity for growth. But all too often, this event can consume and control us. If you are looking at this site, my guess is that you can relate to these words, and are seeking the help and support to be able to move forward in a positive and fulfilled way. I offer an empathic, supportive and non-judgemental approach to therapy with the goal of helping you, the individual, feel both secure and confident to make the changes that you desire.

Waitlist for new clients
I feel best suited to work with adult men and women who struggle with depression, anxiety, and/or a sense of powerlessness which limits their participation in life whether it be work, love or play. I am particularly interested in working with adults who are aware of sexual misuse in their childhood or adolescence which may be continuing to have influence on their current situation. I want to provide a space where the unique stories of each client may be named, felt and explored in light of their current relationships for the purpose of finding hope for the future.

I believe that individuals hold the key to solving life’s issues but sometimes need the assistance of others to help pull out those strengths and provide support along the way; I have a passion for supporting clients on this journey of self-awareness and growth. I firmly believe that we do not have to face life alone and that seeking help is a sign of strength, showing one’s desire to make a change. Not only is this a strength but it also supports the movement towards breaking down the stigma that exists around seeing a counselor. As a therapeutic presence can be the most beneficial healing tool, I strive to be just that for clients

Life is a journey that can often become difficult to maneuver. However, facing life's struggles can empower us to be the people we are intended to be. This process is often mentally and physically exhausting. I would be honored to walk alongside you, your child, and/or your family on your personal journey of self-discovery. I love children and specialize in non-directive play therapy with children 3-7 years of age. Additionally, I work with adolescents and teens navigating the often difficult times of transition through middle/high school. Finally, I have a heart to work with women in life transitions.

Do you feel disconnected to yourself or your partner? Life can be hard and frustrating. In a world run by social media/screen time, we often feel "alone together". It is my belief that everyone can use a little motivation and guidance when it comes to taking charge of their own life. Whether you are battling stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, a life event, etc. it is important to have the support you need to foster change and growth in your life. Together we can build a strong foundation for you (or your relationship) to continue moving forward and tackle any roadblocks that may come in the future.

You’re always exhausted. The alarm clock buzzes, and you struggle to open your eyes. The blanket feels like it’s made of lead as you attempt to get out of bed. It’s the same every morning, and things only worsen from there. You sleepwalk through each day in a thick, hazy fog. You’re not fully present, but you go through the motions because you’re supposed to. It’s getting difficult to remember a time when you actually felt good, and you can’t imagine ever feeling happy again. You've tried fixing your problems, but no solution lasts for long. You know that something needs to change, but you don’t know how. It feels hopeless!
