Accepting new clients. CSAT Candidate specializing in sexual addictions. One thing we all hold in common is the desire for our lives to be better than it is now. Yet, it is perfectly human to experience pain, loneliness, doubts, and to feel stuck. In counseling, we don't have to do that alone but work together on this common human journey. Whether it be trauma, addiction, or other goals I aim to equip and guide you to a life that flows from your values and transforms into lasting change. I aspire to meet you wherever you are now and help you to form a life that is truly thriving.

You want to experience fulfilling relationships with others and with yourself. I care deeply about developing a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel seen, heard, and understood.

While counseling is a collaborative process, I have found it to be most successful and more sustaining when it is client-centered and driven. I have the honor to offer you my slice of proficiency. But, you are the expert in your life and it is thus your vision, your goals, and your strengths that will guide our work together. Wellness is a dynamic endeavor and our efforts will extend beyond the therapy room as we collaborate to exchange formal intervention and active treatment with informal support and on-going self-care. Counseling is an incredible guardrail. Yet, you are the pilot of your life's path and I but your humble guide.

The therapeutic experience should encourage one to live a more satisfying and meaningful life. Everyone has a unique journey through this world and the sum of the experiences along the way (good or bad) make us as individual. Sometimes we get lost, hit bumps, or even get overcome with a tidal wave of things that we need help getting back on our path or creating a new one.

Our brains are pre-programmed to try almost anything to maximize our chances of getting our needs met. Sometimes, our brain tries to meet these needs for safety, peace, and connection in ways that don’t seem to work like they used to. If something feels slightly out of sync - I want to hear about it. If the wheels have come off completely, and everything feels like chaos - I want to hear about it. You deserve support and expertise as you let go of the things that used to work and open up to new solutions and perspectives. Whether this is exhilarating or terrifying, just know you don't have to do this alone.

Life can get overwhelming at times. Often, stressful events, deep feelings of woundedness, feeling cut off from joy, and simply not feeling good about yourself or your relationship(s) get to the point where you know it is time to face these difficulties. As challenging as these things are, they can be the catalyst for change. I am available to help you with anxiety, sadness, grief, loss, and relationship issues and to experience life's challenges in ways that promote healing and wholeness and connect with what you truly want, need, and already have in your heart.
