Life assures us struggle, hardships, grief, and loss, but these things don't have to be the end of our story. They can be our call to action. I want to help you develop the tools you need to create a rich, full, and healthy life of your own design. One where you not only meet your goals but enjoy the process. A diagnosis, a major life change, an experience of abuse or trauma, an identity outside the social norms we find ourselves in; these are not our limitations, they're just aspects of our starting point.

I would like to partner with you to help you find clarity, wisdom, strength and support so you can identity what needs to shift in your life to create positive change.

Therapy is hard and making the decision to get help can sometimes be even harder. It is my goal to help guide you through life’s difficulties and be an extra source of support. I primarily work with substance use and psychiatric concerns. We will work together to create a plan to address your concerns, reach your goals, and help you meet your needs. Trauma is often times the root of the presenting problems my clients are seeking treatment for and addressing this can be a big step to healing. I work with adults looking to make change in their life and will walk side by side with you through the journey.

Wow! There are a LOT of therapists, right? Unless the criteria were super narrow, this list is likely a little overwhelming—a lot of acronyms, a lot of jargon and friendly smiles; maybe fewer cardigans than expected. It’s a lot to consider. For many of us, scrolling through lists like this can feel like running in quicksand. And if you tend to be hard on yourself, it's all the more difficult. Whether you're navigating major life shifts, struggling but still trying to pin down why, or just at a loss and unsure of where/how to start, stick with it. It's OK to take your time. There are lots of people on here who can help.

Poet Geoffrey Chaucer wrote, "time heals all wounds." You're probably searching this site because you have discovered this is not the full truth. The path to healing requires focusing some time and attention on the wounds you carry. Woundedness is the soul's voice demanding to be attended to rather than quieted. The therapeutic relationship is a conduit through which you discover your innate ability to attend to your soul and ultimately find healing.

I work with kids, adolescents, and adults who feel stuck; they are experiencing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and disordered eating. Many have carried the weight of traumatic experiences for as long as they can remember. Many feel that they spend excess time worrying about food and their bodies and find it hard to engage fully in their lives. They continue to feel out of control of their relationships, their bodies, and their emotions. They feel numb and isolated on the surface, and deep down feel hurt and helpless.

The greatest privilege of our lives is to be seen, heard, and truly known by the ones we love. In the end, we are all we have. Whether it’s your partner or family member, when you feel disconnected from the one you love most, it can be extremely painful. My specialty is adult love and creating bonding experiences in couples and families. Helping people repair and reconnect after times of distress is my passion. I help couples heal their wounds from the past through emotional re-engagement and responsiveness. This allows them to move forward in a healthier way, so the past doesn’t keep sabotaging their present and future.

I work to identify the strengths of my client and then utilize these as we collaborate, accomplishing the client's life goals, navigating stressors and bringing balance and hope to the client's life. Are you tired of sabotaging your success? Do you wish you could get a grip on your anxiety? Why am I so angry all of the time? Other people can quit, why can't I? Will I ever be enough? I believe in creating a safe space of healing, hope and refuge where you can achieve your goals and desires for your life.

Looking for the "right" therapist is challenging. Truth is... based on my bio or any other therapist it's difficult to gauge who is a good fit. Well... Do need someone to "talk through some things?" Possibly need a different perspective who isn't a family member or close friend? Or maybe you someone to listen and not make you feel "crazy?" More often than not, we all need someone. Your time in therapy will address your needs. I will do my best to challenge you and this may not feel good. I’m here to listen, understand, and provide skills to help you.

We all know that life can be tough, and it may feel as if your brain is working against you. Sometimes life’s challenges can make it difficult to engage in healthy coping skills and self love. This can often lead to struggles with feelings, thoughts or memories that can make you feel out of control. My stance in therapy is that you are the expert on yourself and your experience. My goal is to meet you where you are at, and to provide a safe space where we can work together to identify behaviors that are not serving you.
