I've spent most of the last decade working with children of all ages and their parents tackling concerns and frustrations related to Autism Spectrum Disorder, Reactive Attachment Disorder, ADHD, depression and anxiety symptoms. I enjoy helping families better understand each other through increased communication, clear agreements, and understanding each other's love languages and learning styles.

My heart as a counselor is to meet my clients where they are. I believe that we are all on a journey of growth with a desire to improve our emotional health. Every once in a while we get to a place where we feel stuck and sometimes being stuck is painful. That is where a qualified therapist can come into the picture and help you identify goals and process past hurts. I strive to provide a safe place where my clients can work through these issues free of judgement.

I want nothing more than to collaborate with my clients in order to help them discover the problems they want and/or need to work on, what strategies would work best to improve those problems, implement strategies, problem solve, and help my clients to build a life worth living. Together, we will focus on the physical, mental, and emotional conditions of your life and I will support you in many different ways to help you grow in each of those areas.

My approach to counseling is to help raise my clients' awareness of their unique strengths and the possiblities available to them for change and growth. One way of empowering these changes is by exploring ways in which my clients may be operating under the influence of mistaken belief systems, and help them shift toward more hopeful, optimistic thinking. I encourage utilizing humor and self-compassion as tools for transformation. Over the years of my practice I have felt fortunate to have witnessed the courage, creativity and resliency of the people I have met.

I believe in helping people build a life worth living, not just surviving. We often struggle most when we are lacking balance in our lives - and I believe that applies to all things, particularly in the way we view ourselves and the world around us. I have experience working with a variety of concerns including: anxiety, depression, interpersonal difficulties, identity concerns, trauma, borderline personality disorder, substance use problems, and life transitions - all with a focus on building healthy coping skills to regulate emotions, tolerate distress, and improve mindfulness.

I have a full and deep life of experience to draw from in meeting my clients in sacred space. The loss of a son, a marriage, a career, accumulated material rewards, and most importantly, the potential of life unlived; dreams unfulfilled. This is soul work. Prepared by the vulnerability of my story, I hold insight and compassion for those whose burdens must be eased into, passed through, and reborn into new purpose, for the quality of our life is in our overcoming. Navigating the troubled waters of depression, anxiety, relational fissures, and archetypal energies is the first threshold of a healing journey.

Finding a therapist that is right for you amongst the sea of biographies can be daunting and finally getting in and seeing if it’s a good fit can be even more frustrating. My style is relational, straightforward, and personalized to each client’s needs. I want you to feel comfortable advocating for yourself and for the direction of your treatment. My belief is that you are the expert on yourself and I am privileged to be a part of the process. While I wish that I could promise a “Goodwill Hunting” moment every session, I CAN promise that I will work alongside you as your ally every step of the way.

Therapy can be greatly beneficial, but not knowing what to expect in therapy can cause uncertainty. I hope to ease any uncertainty by sharing about what it's like to work with me. My style of therapy is collaborative, casual, and direct. Much of what we'll do is have exploratory conversations to assist you in increasing insight of yourself. We'll work together to foster awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and patterns to understand how these patterns affect you. With this awareness, we'll establish your personalized goals and work to meet these goals so you can create the change you want in your life.

Encountering stressors on a weekly basis - or even daily basis - are common human experiences. Whether it's at work, school, home, sport, or various other public settings, you can learn ways to gradually feel relief & move forward through leaning into the benefits of therapy. My approach to counseling begins with meeting the client where they are and walking with them on their journey to where they want to be.

Mental health affects us all but in different ways. We can experience the same symptoms/issues/stressors, but perceive and experience it very differently. This is what I enjoy about being a Mental Health Practitioner; the curiosity and insight of understanding one’s story through their own lens. My clinical approach is empathic, nurturing, and motivating. To help individuals achieve their goals, I often use Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, or Solution Focused Brief Therapy.

Coping with life’s stresses can feel isolating. I welcome clients into therapy to find a safe space to feel supported and focus on their individual strengths. This support includes creating an atmosphere of collaboration. My therapy style is warm and centered on learning a client’s past and supporting them in the present. As a social worker and a mental health provider, I find great merit in inclusivity and working with individuals from all walks of life.

Especially in difficult times, it can be hard to find sources of acceptance, affirmation, and healing. Often the people closest to us - family, classmates, and co-workers, don't accept us for who we are. Perhaps we are gifted and see the world differently, in a new relationship and scared of old mistakes, navigating parenting or co-parenting, or are trying to better understand ourselves and our past. Whatever the reason, we also desire to be happy, whole, and loved - and especially to become something more than what we are. Trauma can hold us back at any age - creating negative habits and barriers to our success.
