Life can be overwhelming for many of us and things can become out of balance in our lives. When this happens you may need to connect with another human being, a professional who can really listen, provide perspective and honor you in your journey. Which may include resolving difficulty in relationships, healing from trauma, stabilizing and enhancing mental health and wellbeing, strengthening a sense of identity and finding an overall sense of "wholeness", growth and peace. As a clinician my goal is to connect with the strengths already within my clients, to facilitate change and to provide expertise that is meaningful.

If you struggle to let go of unhealthy patterns or yearn for a more fulfilled, peaceful existence, I am here to support you on your journey.

Life gets more complicated as you move into young adulthood, and it can feel impossible to cope with the daily demands: work, school, relationships, food, family, self-care, it’s hard to juggle it all. I can help you manage the chaos and create calm. I specialize in working with young adults who are in transition and who struggle with disordered eating, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Perfectionism and our inner critic make things worse, deepening depression, ramping up anxiety, and complicating our relationship with food and our bodies. Do you connect with this?

As a primary therapist and sole owner of Broken Vessels Counseling, I am focused on only one thing, your success. I am passionate about walking along side the hurting, the lost, the captive, the broken, as they discover for themselves their own unique qualities that make them the treasured works of art they where always meant to be. It is my belief that through client centered individual therapy; "Team" oriented Family Therapy; and peer support group therapy; anyone who comes through our program and gives it all they have will successfully transition towards their desired goal in life, with new inner self awareness, esteem.

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.

There is no greater pain than watching your child struggle. You've read the blogs, asked your doctor, consulted with friends, but you feel no closer to understanding what is going on or how to help. You need answers and you need a roadmap to stop the suffering and get things back on track. I'm here to guide you through the darkness and uncover what your child needs to achieve their true potential. My unique approach involves identifying your child's strengths in addition to their areas of vulnerability so you know exactly what they need to thrive.

In this life there is always something that makes us change. Human nature says that it is love or the loss of something or someone. If you think you need help to achieve your goals or make the necessary changes to be successful, you have to give yourself a chance. During therapy you have the necessary space to talk about the different barriers that are a challenge for you. I work with different people who are going through different personal situations, having challenges with their families, or struggling in their marriage.

Life can be difficult but therapy doesn't have to be! If you've talked about your struggles just to feel worse afterwards and see little to no progress, I'd like to introduce myself.
