I work with adults and teens, building skills and laying down new pathways for dealing with relationship struggles, inner conflict, loss, developmental crises, and identity concerns. I consult with parents of children of all ages, guiding them in helping their kids live less painful, more fulfilling lives. I help people who grapple with anger, sadness, anxiety, and feelings of emptiness or despair. I help my patients learn to be mindful and nonjudgmental in their awareness of thoughts, feelings, and the many motivations that lead to sometimes difficult behaviors. I also offer an emotional skills workshop for parents.

I help people take charge of their lives. Emotions can be very powerful. They help form your self-esteem, and ultimately enable you to move forward with your goals or prevent you from achieving them.

Healing children and adolescents is the focus of my practice. I believe therapy is a collaborative process that helps kids grow and adapt to change. My practice focuses on aiding children in developing skills to adapt to change, process stressful life events, and increase functioning in daily life.

Therapy can be a powerful tool to improve your life. As a mental health professional, I witness amazing progress every day in my clients' lives and in their relationships. Change is not easy; at the same time, the outcome can be transformative. I am passionate about mental health wellness and I believe that everyone can improve their life, whether in their personal goals or in their relationships.

My passion is to see individuals and couples find a means to repair, heal, and improve their mental health and relationships. My professional experience has focused on couples therapy, anxiety/stress management, healthy relationships/boundaries, life transitions, personal growth, and trauma recovery. I strive to offer a supportive and safe atmosphere for clients to explore barriers and work towards healing and growth.

I am currently accepting new clients! I am a licensed independent therapist who specializes in mental health and substance abuse. I have a passion for working with adolescents (ages 13-19), adults (ages 20 and up), and families. I am believe in building on strengths. I believe families are a system and each member contributes to the effectiveness of the system. I believe that we all struggle with something, it is possible to get better, and the life you want to live is here for the taking.

Finding fulfillment and joy comes with practicing self-compassion and understanding what leads us forward and what holds us back. Challenges are a natural part of life, and when we embrace them, we create space for new ways of thinking and find opportunities for growth and healing. Our sessions will take place in a nurturing environment, led by your unique circumstances and goals. We’ll partner together on your journey of self-exploration and renewal, and celebrate the beauty you hold within. Honoring your strengths, you'll discover strategies to become better equipped to handle stressors and shape a balanced and meaningful life.

I assist adults, couples, families, and adolescents ages 14 and up having difficulties managing their lives due to emotional/mood disturbances, adjustment issues, and life transitions. My areas of experience include severe mental illness, self-harming behaviors, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, women’s issues, relationship and communication issues, substance abuse, anger, self-esteem, grief and loss issues, couples counseling, parent child relationship counseling, parenting, adjustment issues, family counseling, and adolescent concerns.

Therapy is about regaining balance in life. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions and navigate life's challenges. Having personally experienced the positive impact of therapy, I am passionate about guiding others on their journey to improved well-being. I believe in an individualized and strengths-based approach, meeting clients where they are in their healing process.
