Offering both telehealth & in-person counseling at this time. After ten years working in the mental health and addictions treatment field, I decided to open my own practice for a very specific reason. I have seen and experienced first-hand that the most significant relationship in one’s life is the relationship with one’s self. This relationship is oftentimes short-changed and harmed before it even has a chance to begin flourishing, based on circumstances, events, and environments. And, rather than focus solely on symptom management, I have seen the irrefutable benefit of digging in and focusing on what lies beneath the surface.

Life can feel exhausting and stressful. Sometimes it all feels like too much, other times you feel like “too much”. The weight of your feelings can be so overwhelming that you cope with substances, food, distraction, or anything else so you don’t have to feel. You desperately want to be understood and need to be supported but you have a hard time allowing yourself to be vulnerable enough to truly allow someone in to your world. You can rarely trust yourself, let alone trusting someone else with your deepest feelings. You feel broken and that there is something wrong with you.

I love to collaborate with clients who seek to explore the connections between their present experiences and the chapters of their past. Discovering these patterns gives us the ability to change the future. It also provides the opportunity to cultivate self-love, forgiveness, and compassion, which serves as a resilient foundation upon which we can experience transformative changes. Leveraging insight and intuition from experience, I aim to support you in experiencing those revelatory "aha" moments—both significant and subtle—where connections previously unnoticed suddenly come to light. These moments mark the real magic of therapy!
