Don't let TikTok be your only therapist. It's easy to fall into a rabbit hole trying to figure out "what's wrong" with us when in reality, we just need to better understand our inner world. There's nothing wrong with you, I promise! Talk therapy can offer tools, support, and accountability to find connection and insight, and EMDR therapy can offer immediate relief, change, and healing. (Both are wonderful options!). But, if you are tired of feeling like you are getting in your own way, or still confused as to why you randomly feel anxious or look down on yourself, give EMDR a try. You might be surprised how effective it is.

Anyone that is struggling with stress, burn out, anxiety and overwhelm. I want to be able to help a client that is externally organized to become more internally organized. My belief about anxiety and how I help to treat it, is to find ways to release the trapped emotions that are held in the body.

An unresolved painful past can often sneak up into your day-to-day life. You may find yourself reacting in ways you don’t intend to in everyday situations in situations, followed by guilt and frustration, and then in other scenarios, it’s as though you feel nothing at all. Sometimes you are too exhausted to connect with those closest to you or feel as though you are unsure of who you are outside of your relationships. You may find yourself frequently turning to substances, food, TV shows, or sleep in order to feel relaxed. I am able to help you find some relief from these difficult experiences.

Struggling through life with a chronic or silent illness feels anything but silent. It's more like having an angry body that's screaming and out of control at the worst possible moments. Illnesses like Lyme disease, chronic fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Epstein-Barr, or autoimmune disorders don't always come with support walks and wrist bands. And loved ones or the medical community don't always understand or know how to help. I know you're just about done with getting shuffled in and out of doctor's appointments, but hopefully you'll give me a chance.

NOW Accepting New Clients! It’s not surprising you’re feeling lost, confused, anxious, or depressed thinking about adulthood. Our brains continue to develop well into our mid-20s, yet society expects us to have things figured out by then. In today’s world, people wait much longer to meet the traditional milestones of the generations before us, and then are just expected to know how to navigate everything in the meantime. This is where I come in. I can help you find your way through. And I can do that without any expectations or preconceived notions. No judgment. Just support and encouragement.

Sometimes the hardest thing we might do is taking the first step to begin counseling- getting help means we have struggles. The issues we face in life have the ability to deeply damage us, but also the potential for personal growth. Be encouraged that the first step to emotional healing is difficult, but it's worth taking. We can know how to love ourselves better if our value can be affirmed by someone who cares, and you can face them knowing you are not alone. I can help you reach your goals for counseling, or perhaps even find out where to begin.

I specialize in moving people into stronger positions of agency in their lives. Being alone with overwhelming emotions intensifies our pain. It also blocks psychological growth, depletes our emotional resources, and undermines creative problem-solving and well-being. I provide a competently-directed treatment process that can help untangle complicated feelings and experiences and awaken the possibility of change.

I believe in living authentically, in any way that feels most true to you. Together we will explore what living authentically means to you and work with your strengths to process past trauma and build your life in a way that you are excited about.

Individual therapy: I am a licensed counselor and have been in the mental health field since 2002 & started my practice in 2007. My approach stems from a cognitive-behavioral model which dictates that a client is able to re-learn automatic belief systems as well as behavior patterns. I facilitate each counseling session from a person-centered approach, which considers the client to be the most important aspect of the counseling process. The choice to make changes is yours, however, it takes work!

As a therapist, I specialize in working with young adults and couples who are navigating sexual health, life transitions, anxiety, family dynamics, and relationships. I take a Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Existential approach, and CBT that also weaves in a focus on client strengths and narratives. I tend to have a more direct approach with my clients, while also adding in humor and a space that allows for support and strength. I am an avid ally of the LGTBQIA+ community and am able to create an environment that empowers and upholds clients as who they are!
