Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. That knowledge is what led me to become a therapist ... how effective and life-changing therapy can be. I start where you, the client, are and we make a treatment plan together to reach the goals you would like to achieve. We will develop a working hypothesis that may change over time as new information is obtained. Many mental health issues begin with an event and the mental health issue, be it anxiety, panic attacks, depression, anger, unrelated phobia, facial tic, chronic pain, avoidant behavior, dysfunctional relationship pattern, stress and/or insomnia is the resulting symptom.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in collaboration, authenticity, and compassion. My goal is to create an environment in which you can explore your own path as I support and guide you through achieving your goals. No matter the circumstance, everyone is worthy of a space to process their challenges and reach their full potential. I believe that healing is not a linear process, and each individual has a unique path to self-discovery and achieving wellness. I am hopeful for the opportunity to help you build better, stronger connections with yourself and others, and ultimately, to walk alongside you down your own path.

Through the ups and downs of life, one thing remains a constant— you. I help my clients foster a relationship with themselves with a sense of curiosity, acceptance, and grace. Life can be tough and confusing, but you are strong and resilient. I want to walk alongside you, hear your story, and offer a safe space for expression and exploration. It is my belief that people make sense- the person who starves themselves, or isolates when sad, or can’t find relief from that nervous feeling in their stomach, all make sense. You are not alone. Let’s walk towards healing together.

Life's challenges can lead us to a place where recognizing the person in the mirror becomes foreign. The fights with your partner, the fear of the future, or desiring a sense of direction and meaningful connection can leave us feeling frozen, overwhelmed, and distanced from where we’d like to be. Your unique experience matters - which is why I work to foster empathy, openness, authenticity, safety, and caring challenges within therapy - to meet you where you are and journey beside you as you seek to find yourself and your relationships again.

Choosing a counselor with whom you share personal and sensitive information can leave you feeling uneasy and requires courage. I believe if you are researching counselors, you are ready to make changes in your life. I would consider it a privilege to join you in this journey to pursue change and wholeness. I consider each client a unique person with gifts and strengths that can enable them to find solutions to their challenges.

I am convinced that there is incredible power and healing in experiencing genuine, authentic relationships. Struggles related to life transitions, grief, trauma, sexuality/gender identity, spirituality (specifically involving church hurt, spiritual trauma, deconstruction, and reconstruction of faith) might be weighing on you.

Sometimes our growing sense of self becomes derailed by traumatic life events, depression, anxiety, abuse, career shifts, or other life-altering transitions. I am passionate about joining those who are seeking to discover or rebuild their sense of self in order to build a life they love.

Anxious, stressed, uneasy, afraid, agitated, out of control- The people I work with describe these feelings and more after months or years of being driven by anxiety in their thoughts, actions, and relationships. Anxiety is not the enemy, but it doesn’t deserve to be driving the car either. Therapy can empower you to take back the driver’s seat, and allow you to find a sense of freedom and comfort in your own mind and body. I love helping clients learn to overcome anxiety, and to navigate the relationship concerns and family issues which are often interwoven with anxiety.
