With more than 15 years experience in the mental health field, I try to show my transparency and human-ness in session. I believe that we all struggle with something in life. I also believe that we can all benefit from additional support- a listening ear and guidance on how to address our concerns in a healthier way. We all have the ability to change if we have the strength to acknowledge our flaws and learn new skills to grow. I provide a judgement free zone where I can hold space for an individual to feel comfortable sharing their most difficult wounds. I try my best to meet the client where they are at in their life.

I understand your pain of being exhausted from constantly putting on a facade of happiness, catering to everyone else's needs, and wishing someone could see through your smile and understand the pain you are hiding inside." Imagine breaking through those emotional barriers and no longer having to lie life behind the mask. As a therapist, my goal is to work with my clients to develop a more positive, stable sense of self despite life’s many challenges and changes.

In our lives we all face challenging situations and circumstances. During these times it is helpful to have support to assist in managing these situations. I strive to create and maintain a nonjudgmental, friendly and warm environment to discuss and work through difficult circumstances that have occurred or are occurring in your life. In our counseling relationship, you can expect a supportive space to talk about vulnerable feelings while learning how to make changes in your life. Therapy with me is laid back and you can expect to laugh, feel heard and find comfort while talking about difficult topics.

Challenging circumstances or chronic stress can take a toll on our mental health. It’s great you are considering counseling to gain new insight into your life, make important changes, or simply feel more supported at this time. I believe having a better understanding of our past experiences and current habits can help us more effectively manage life’s ups and downs. My approach to counseling starts with identifying underlying causes of anger, anxiety, or depression—as well as uncovering each client’s unique strengths and coping strategies. From there, I strive to help clients develop new, healthier thought patterns and behaviors.

I am currently accepting new patients!! My passion for helping others has always been my driving force. I am passionate about assisting individuals with discovering their strengths and abilities, in addition, to developing plans that helps one to operate at his or her fullest potential. Navigating through life can be very challenging considering the obstacles that arise unexpectedly or the life changing experiences that are difficult to-adjusting. Therapy can help to bring clarity and peace on the journey to self discovery. I am excited to partner with individuals who are on the path to bringing happiness and balance to their lives.

I strive to provide a reflective atmosphere to help individuals authentically engage deeper aspects of themselves. You might be feeling uncertain, worried, or hopeless as you navigate difficult life transitions or the complexities of relationships-perhaps ending or beginning an academic program, vocation, or intimate partnership. You might be processing the loss of a loved one, finding it difficult to connect with your partner, or struggling to find more meaning in your life. Changes like these often turn our world upside down. I will support you in reuniting with your inner self and feeling confident in the steps you take ahead.

Beginning therapy can mean different things to different people, but it is an action of courage, hope, self- care, and self-determination. You might or might not have been to a therapist before. If this is your first experience with therapy, you might even feel a bit nervous or apprehensive and I am here to say that’s normal. Therapy is a process that allows you the freedom and privacy to discuss issues that may be sensitive or painful. They may even be difficult to discuss with your family or friends. Through our work together, you will be validated and can begin to feel more at home within yourself.

What sets me apart from other counselors is my ability to meet the client “where they are” Whether that is a client with a severe & persistent mental health disorder or a client that I only meet with for a few brief sessions to help them work through a “tough period” in their lives. I am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy which has been proven effective in changing thought process and/or behavior to get more out of life. Simply stated – life isn’t black OR white and we often miss the importance of approaching things from a “gray point of view”.
