Telehealth only - All too often, trauma and hardship rob people of their full capacity to act, feel, think and speak. I believe that helping you find your voice is one of my jobs as a therapist. Finding that voice looks different for everyone and I believe in treating each individual as a whole person, not just as a diagnosis. Even the most surface symptoms are often indicative of much deeper issues, and I strive to provide a safe space for exploring both. I believe that the success of therapy is marked by both achieving more "wholeness," and evolving to become the best version of yourself.

I believe that everything we do and are as people makes sense when we understand the context of our lives. Every area of one’s life affects another in some way, shape, or form. Therefore, I find it quite helpful to explore the areas of physical, emotional, and other areas of health to put all the pieces together to make a complete puzzle picture. With an accurate picture, it may feel as though things begin to “click” and “make sense.” With an accurate framework, we can begin to address the root of the issues you might be experiencing at the pace that you are comfortable with so that foundational progress can take place.

I love what I do, and I know why I do it. Since 2007 my focus has been coming along side of people and assisting them with challenges they face in life to become the most authentic and genuine person they were meant to be. In my own journey I've come to accept and appreciate the gifts I've been given, even if they're seemingly unrelated. I love my work as a therapist and I will always be passionate about performing music. How the two coexist within me is the journey I'm on. My focus has been in becoming a better therapist each day ... but I also know I'll never stop playing guitar and performing music, it's part of who I am.

My passion is supporting adolescents and young adults as they navigate through the changes in life. Our work together will aim to deepen your understanding of who you are now and who you want to be. When transitions happen you may experience anxiety, depression, stress, mood changes, trauma, self esteem issues, school avoidance, or body image issues. It is important to have a support system in place as we manage these changes. During our work together I will support you as you determine what path you would like to take in life. When I work with families it is to support them to stay connected during these times.

Are you feeling stuck and need some guidance for growth? I won't offer band-aid solutions, only lasting and meaningful change. Therapy to me is a process of identifying and understanding who you are and where you want to go. I want to journey with you to the deeper levels of your struggles and find the light. The arrow is a powerful symbol to me that represents the growth we are capable of. In order for an arrow to aim forward, it must be pulled back with the bow to gain strength.
