Have you been feeling overwhelmed with anxiety? Do you feel like you struggle to stay present in the moment because anxious thoughts sneak in, interrupting your train of thought? Has depression been making it hard for you to feel motivated or show up for your daily life in the way you want or need to? Do you feel like you have just been going through the motions and are ready to start to working towards feeling healthy and joyful again? Are you struggling with painful emotional effects of trauma?

You deserve a life that feels good. We know that even good relationships can get stuck in unhealthy patterns. Do you find that when you are trying to connect with your partner you end up in a cycle of communication that's not helpful or productive? Do you retreat and silence it until next time? There is always next time… Maybe this time they will understand…we become louder in hopes they see how hurt we are.The more we aren't seen and heard the more resentful we become. The explosions become more significant and the intimacy ceases, now you are just resentful roommates. It doesn't have to be this way.

Clients come to my practice looking to better their lives. They often come with a presenting problem that has brought them in at this specific point in time and they are seeking resolution and relief from that situation. However, in addition to more short-term, symptom relief, many clients come to us hoping to attain a better understanding of themselves from the inside out — from their thoughts to their behaviors. In short, they are trying to increase their awareness and understanding of themselves in an attempt to improve the quality of their relationships and the their lives.

Life often presents us with a myriad of challenges, and no one has to figure it all out alone. My role as a counselor is to help you find strategies to navigate the difficulties that prevent you from feeling and doing your best. I work primarily with adolescents, teens, and young adults experiencing a wide array of struggles. These include, but are not limited to, anxiety, OCD, depression, ADHD, family issues, health-related issues, and behavioral issues both at home and at school. Additionally, I work with adults with intergenerational trauma and family of origin concerns and how these affect their life as adults.

Anxiety disorders and OCD can present in many different ways, including avoidance, irritability, severe shyness, panic attacks, uncontrollable worries, phobias, and repetitive thoughts and behaviors. Many of my clients find themselves avoiding work, school, and social interactions because of their anxiety. Others have no option to avoid, but struggle immensely and feel exhausted afterward. The family members of my patients often feel helpless or frustrated, but find themselves unsure of how to help.

Intimate relationships are an opportunity for great love, enrichment of our lives and true partnership. The challenges we face in modern-day society and the lack of training we receive often equate to great difficulties within some of our most important relationships. I love relational work because we have an opportunity to create meaningful, loving and supporting relationships, but only if we have the tools to do so. Imago Relationship Therapy provides tools, a perspective shift and a roadmap. This is courageous work, that can significantly impact yourself, your relationships and those around you.

The intimate, yet convenient office setting I provide individuals and their families allows the protection of one's privacy and confidentiality while receiving counseling services. As a Mental Health Counselor I have truly enjoyed my work with children/adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I work with my clients and their families by providing healthy coping skills and empowering them to feel confident enough to achieve their goals in and outside of the therapeutic setting. Life can be difficult at times and I never want any of the individuals I work with to feel they are in it alone.

In my years of experience, I have worked the most with individuals experiencing issues with anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma. I have found the most success with meeting clients where they are at, building a strong therapeutic rapport, and using an eclectic style of treatment techniques (tailored to each individual’s needs). This collective approach will allow individuals to gain the most from their therapy involvement. I will provide the framework for the client to develop their strategy in order to work toward achieving their psychological, emotional, and social well being.
