People tell me that I’m easy to talk to. But I don’t just listen. I help you find out how the ways you are thinking or interacting are causing you problems, and I offer observations and possible solutions. You and I collaborate to figure out what solutions may fit for you, and how to make them work in your life. Together we build an understanding of what you are going through, and together we tackle the issues. Rather than relying on manualized “copy and paste” therapeutic approaches, my suggestions and observations are based on an in-depth understanding of you and your situation.

*CURRENTLY HAS A WAITLIST* Having questions or concerns regarding learning or behavioral challenges for your child or teen can be intimidating. Psychological evaluation is often the key to better understanding your child or teen's unique challenges. Working together, we will evaluate, understand and collaborate on both short-term and long-term goals, as well as treatments that will serve as a pathway to a successful future for your child.

Life can be difficult to navigate. Many of us struggle with anxiety, depression, fear, and loneliness, but you don't have to face these challenges alone. Treatment can help you feel safe and secure. It can help you reach your potential, derive more satisfaction and gratification from your relationships, and ultimately help you achieve contentment and fulfillment in your life.

Walking with people through some of their most difficult times is an honor and a responsibility that I do not take lightly. I have worked with children, adolescents, families, and adults in my career as a social worker. I am passionate about working with individuals who desire to do their own personal growth work, and families wishing to develop healthier boundaries and communication patterns that honor authenticity, connection, and compassion.

Your value and worth as a person is paramount! Counseling provides an avenue to self-discovery, growth, change, mental/emotional health, and healing. I hope to partner with you in this journey.

Is your home full of animosity and turmoil? Are you having difficulty co-parenting with an ex or trying to blend two families into one?

If any of these sound like you, let me use my life, educational, and professional experience to provide you with the hope, support, and guidance that you need to get you back to the happier and healthier relationship you’ve been longing for.

I am passionate about using my knowledge, experience, and resources to help you find joy in your life!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor providing individual therapy for adults, with current availability for self-pay appointments. I approach therapy from the empowering perspective that we are not in control of what happens to us or around us, but we are responsible for the consequences of how we choose to allow these things to affect us and how we choose to respond. By making different choices, we can feel differently. In any given situation, we are doing the best we can with what we have, and, through therapy, we can build better ways to actively engage in life, instead of merely existing.

I use a Cyclical Psychodynamic approach. This is an integrative approach to therapy, which combines empirically supported therapies- relational psychodynamics, cognitive-behavioral therapy, attachment theory, and family systems theory. It works by creating corrective emotional experiences in therapy and developing new ways of interacting with others outside of therapy. This process facilitates increased awareness, resilience, better strategies, and increased effectiveness.

It can be a difficult task to find the right therapist and the options online can feel incredibly overwhelming. I understand that it's not easy to allow yourself to be vulnerable with a stranger about some of life's most difficult challenges. By looking for a therapist, you've already made the hardest step, the first one. Often things in our lives can leave us feeling alone, unheard, or confused. It takes a lot of courage to admit that we need help sometimes and even more courage to ask for it.

My work as a counselor focuses on helping individuals use the strengths they already possess to enact positive change within their lives. I firmly believe that as people, we possess the powers within us to solve almost any problem that life throws at us. Sometimes, as the result of things we encounter in life, be it: trauma, messages learned in childhood, patterns of thought that are no longer needed, grief, or other difficult life experiences, we have trouble finding the path to the answers within us. As a counselor, I feel privileged to help people find the paths to the answers they seek.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or as if life is out of balance? This is the case for many people.
