Every person deserves a secure, safe space where they can become their most authentic selves. I strive to approach therapy with genuine compassion, warmth, and empathy. I believe that therapy at its core is a creative, non-judgmental space between equals. Here, you can be yourself and learn to manage the thoughts and emotions getting in your way. I like to incorporate a combination of techniques from Person-Centered, Adlerian, Solution-Focused, Strengths-Based, and Trauma-Focused counseling approaches to fully comprehend your unique experience and how best to help you.

I am best at helping people find their purpose, build themselves up from rock bottom, and to help people move from being stuck surviving into someone that is thriving in life's journey. Life circumstances and mental wellness varies when someone walks into my office, but I have witnessed people completely transform. One evidence based and effective approach I use is EMDR in both individual and group settings to move past trauma when feeling stuck in the healing process. When you need emotional healing, I am able to provide direction, understanding, and jump start a person's ability to take on the next life challenge.

Needing a safe place to express and process your emotions? Life can bring a variety of challenges and sometimes we just need a space to feel comfortable and safe and a person who will be with us alongside our journey. I work with those struggling with depression, anxiety, relationships struggles, life transitions, and trauma. I also have a passion for helping those who are experiencing a betrayal in their relationships. This is a devastating experience for many and an experience that can make you feel isolated and alone. You don’t have to walk through this alone.

I help people who are feeling anxious, stuck, overwhelmed, or plagued by old or new "stuff". I love working with those who are ready for a change in their life, whether that be with their mood, behaviors, thoughts, or relationships. I've had the opportunity to work with and help many who identify as feeling anxious, depressed, struggling with relationships or communication, or those looking to overcome current or past trauma. I have witnessed these persons work through their struggles and live healthy, happy lives full of meaning. I am steady, yet compassionate and am committed to my client's healing.

“You can't start the next chapter of your life, if you keep rereading the last one." Sometimes we feel "stuck", like we can't get past something. This can be the break up of a relationship, or a death, or just moving on from some significant event that changed us. We feel like we 'should' be moving on, and criticize ourselves for not, but it doesn't help. In fact, often, it can feel as if we have 'lost ourselves', and that we don't even know who we are anymore. Therapy can help you find yourself again.

While I've worked with a wide spectrum of clients over the years the best fit client in my practice is a person between 0-25 who has difficulty with anxiety and/or relationships whether that is family or intimate in nature. Goals related to these difficulties are often managing anxiety, increasing coping skills, improving family relationships, and processing trauma if present. I have training in Theraplay which is an attachment focused modality which engages both child and caregiver to increase secure attachment which in turn decreases undesirable behaviors. Additionally, I am trained in EMDR.

Life is difficult. With everyday stress such as work, personal life, relationship issues, parenting, etc; it can often seem overwhelming. Having someone to talk to can help one develop positive coping skills. In addition, therapy can help people see how their past unresolved issues can continue to create problems for them in their current life.

During a first session, clients often comment how easy it is to talk to me. My priority is for you to get something out of our time together that impacts your daily life. This might include an increased sense of security and self esteem; a more clear vision about your life (past, present, future); decreased symptoms related to anxiety/depression and past trauma; and an awareness of and influence over destructive patterns in your life. If you're seeking relationship counseling: better communication and renewed intimacy with your partner or spouse leading to enhanced satisfaction in family life.
