Life can feel overwhelming & exhausting, causing us to feel burned out, stressed out, & stuck surviving instead of thriving. Many things can lead us to this place, including trauma, depression, masking our neurodivergences, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, parenting, pregnancy, being the default parent, carrying a heavy mental load, struggling in our relationships with food & our bodies, complicated relationships, & managing a huge workload at home, school, & work.

When the the decision fatigue is real- feeling overwhelmed with all the responsibilities of adulting? Trying to find a good work/life balance? Finding yourself stuck in a cycle of being drawn to all the wrong people? Having a hard time prioritizing your life, being assertive, and setting boundaries? Life can feel like it's just too much. You want to do better but when you stop and try, it’s all too overwhelming. You may even feel stuck. If you're a parent, that adds another extra layer of "too much," exhaustion, and stress.

Over the years, my personal and work experience has influenced my passion for helping individuals foster healthy, fulfilling relationships and sex lives. I believe that sexuality is a significant part of a person’s life, and everyone has the right to safe and enjoyable sexual experiences. My work focuses on normalizing conversations around sexual health and wellbeing, repairing the mind-body connection, and healing interpersonal relationships.

My professional journey has been shaped by a commitment to providing compassionate support and understanding to individuals on their path to mental well-being. Within the realm of counseling, I specialize in various areas, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), LGBTQIA+ affirmative counseling, ADHD, substance abuse, personality disorders, grief, chronic illness, pregnancy, prenatal and postpartum care, sleep/insomnia management, trauma, and PTSD.

My passion lies in working with children and teenagers to overcome anxiety, build self-confidence, foster stronger family relationships, and navigate challenging social environments. I specialize in treating young children through the use of play therapies and addressing women's issues such as perinatal and postpartum depression and anxiety. I also work with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, loss, and offer support for couples and families in distress.

I have been in the mental health field, working with anxiety and trauma, for 20+ years! YOU appear driven and put together on the outside, but are struggling internally. You are wanting relief. Perhaps the anxiety is the result of something that happened to you. If your life is inhibited by your past in any way, this is the right place for you. I can help you find what is on the other side of the anxiety and fear, which could be peace, relief, and authenticity. I have intensive and specialized training in Trauma, PTSD and the resulting anxiety that comes from overwhelming or unsafe situations & people.

You may have ended up here if you have found yourself trying all of the fad diets only to have gained the weight back. When someone pulls out the dessert at events, you probably feel embarrassed, ashamed, and tend to withdraw because the thoughts you have about food consume you. It makes total sense that you believe if you were “the right size” you’d be happy and content with your body. The way we think and feel about our bodies and food directly impact our mental and physical health. In reality, the guilt and anxiety you have around food is what you need some support around – we get that and we are here for you!

As a counselor, my goal is to establish a warm and supportive relationship, free of judgment, and full of unconditional positive regard. By doing this, I take time to empathize with clients through their own eyes and collectively we develop an alliance and work towards goals as a team. I prefer to meet with the client first and then correspond the best theoretical orientation to the individual, couple, or situation. I believe that successful treatment needs to be personalized and that treatment needs to include and the environmental elements that are impacting the individual as well.

Therapy does not equal mental illness. The truth is, we all face difficult experiences in life that seem unmanageable at times. Therapy is a safe space and a judgment-free zone. This is a place for you to be real, raw, and your authentic self.

In our first session, we will get to know each other and decide if we're a good fit. We will review your background and history as well as current struggles and symptoms.

Everyone needs a safe place where they can process a problem or work through a difficult life transition. Whether you are dealing with grief, depression, anxiety, or wounds from your past, we can work together to bring healing to your life. It's hard work and sometimes scary to talk about painful issues, but the rewards of working through them include greater confidence in oneself, more fulfilling relationships, and joy.
