Whether this is your first time seeking support or if you've participated in counseling in the past, my goal is to meet you where you are in your journey to psychological wellness. You may have identified specific challenges and goals that you want to address or you may simply know that you are in need of support. Life is rarely easy and occasionally we all need to seek help and resources to help us navigate through the ups and downs. If you're struggling with challenging life circumstances that are impacting you, your relationships and/or your career, counseling can help you regain control and feel more fulfilled.

I believe that finding and understanding the root of a client's trauma is an important first step in the healing process, whether you're an adult or child. Utilizing cognitive behavioral therapeutic techniques, I aim to help clients change or manage unhealthy thoughts or beliefs, in order to respond to situations in a more effective manner.

I have a passion for working with children and families in supporting healthy development, resilience, and achieving optimal mental well-being. I focus on creating a safe, nurturing environment where client's can explore their emotions and develop coping strategies to build a strong foundation for a brighter future.

Hi! I feel that trust and authenticity essential parts of a successful therapeutic relationship. I believe all of us can benefit from support with regard to healing, adjustment, and change. I find gratitude in being a part of ones journey.

Human beings are highly adaptable, but sometimes the ways in which we cope are maladaptive or counter productive. Oftentimes when we encounter adversity our natural instinct is to tough it out and hope things change. Sometimes that can lead to feeling stuck, helpless, or overwhelmed when things don't change. Therapy can help get you unstuck and back to living the life you deserve. My main areas of focus include PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, attachment issues, inner child work, grief, and life transitions.

As a dedicated therapist, I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges and empowering them to reach their full potential. My therapeutic approach is grounded in positivity, empathy, and a strong belief in the potential for growth and healing. I foster a supportive therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and strengths-based, focusing on identifying and building upon clients' existing strengths and resources. I integrate elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques.

I am trained in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy and eye movement desensitization reprocessing. I have also completed clinical-endorsed training for youth with problematic sexual behaviors and have experience working with youth and families impacted by sexual abuse and trauma. I am an adoption-competent provider.

If you need someone safe and competent to help you process your current struggles and heal from your past wounds, I will strive to earn your trust through our professional counseling relationship and will provide you with tools and skills to empower you for a better future.

Today was the worst day of your life. You feel like you want to blow things up and then to put the icing on the cake your belt loop hooked on the door handle and ripped your favorite pair of jeans. You're fed up and don’t have the best set of coping skills. You turn to substances or impulsive behavior. You’re sick and tired of feeling like you don’t have a safe place to be yourself and work through your crap. I see you and I have been there too. It’s scary to think about what life could look like once you find a new way to process the things you’re dealing with in a healthy and safe way.
