Are you feeling lost and need someone to help you navigate the complexities of life? There are many difficult transitions and stages of life - you don't have to do it alone.

Welcome! Therapy is a great place to learn about yourself and how you show up in the world. I believe in creating a safe and nonjudgemental place where clients can learn about the relationship that they have with themselves and others, and to reflect on what is/is not working for them. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I work with adults, children, teens, families and couples to help them enhance the quality of their lives and relationships.

Accepting new clients. A reduced rate is available. It's significant that you've taken the first step to seek out a therapist. I specialize in the areas of life transitions, anxiety, grief/loss, religious and spiritual trauma/healing, plant medicine integration, trauma, addiction recovery, relationship issues, self compassion, identity formation, spiritual/religious experiences, and creating boundaries with others. It is a honor and great privilege to walk alongside my clients as they navigate the process of healing, self discovery and growth. It is a great joy to partner with clients to support them in coming home to themselves.

I support and guide Clients in their quest to release old patterns of behaviors that they recognize as no longer serving them. If you are looking for emotional growth, increased awareness, and the ability to release unwanted behaviors then lets begin. I will help you building an emotional vocabulary to understand deep feelings of sadness, grief, disappointment, regret, shame, anger, overwhelmed, loneliness, and many other emotions. This is where the journey begins to an increased freedom from past pain and suffering.

I'm both a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Special Education Intervention Specialist. I've been teaching in the K-12 public system for 23 years, which gives me a unique perspective when addressing concerns around behaviors and mental health for families as well as teachers/administrators. By aligning with you and/or your family - not as a director, but as a partner, collaborator and coach - we can work as a team to develop an effective strategy to address issues with behavior, academics, relationships, identity, work stress, professional issues, and family conflicts.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, identity, relationships, and other issues. Being vulnerable about our struggles can be incredibly difficult. My goal is to empower my clients to lean into that vulnerability so we can function together as a team to work through them. I strive to create a non-judgmental and compassionate space where individuals from all backgrounds can feel seen and heard. In my practice, I pair a person-centered, strength-based focus with cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed approaches.

As a doctoral-level clinical psychologist with a deep commitment to children and their families, I specialize in helping parents navigate the complexities of parenting children who have experienced trauma or other challenges. As a master diagnostician with specialized training in children, trauma, and neuropsychology, I am committed to a thorough understanding of each child and family I work with, and to identifying what each child needs in order to be happy and well-adjusted. My approach is holistic, taking into consideration all areas of a child’s life and functioning.

We want patients who are interested in well-researched treatment and who are open to telepsychology or video based therapy from the comfort and convenience of your home. You'll save time and gas money.
