“We know what we are, but know not what we may be”- William Shakespeare. I graduated in 2008 with a master’s in clinical counseling and obtained my license as as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I have worked for over 12 years with children, teens and young adults helping them to see what they may be. I employ a person-centered and solution focused approach. This means that I allow my clients to feel safe and heard while getting to the heart of the matter. As your therapist, my goal is to empower you to overcome your personal obstacles, to improve your situation, relationships, and feelings towards yourself.

Accepting new clients- please see website for direct booking and insurance verification. As a counselor, my goal is to create a warm, supportive, and safe environment that is best suited for the therapeutic process. I aim to help my clients achieve a deeper understanding of their feelings, behavior patterns and their purpose, and reduce unwanted distress. By developing insight and identifying the functions our behaviors serve, we can work as a collaborative team to set goals and move forward in a way that feels most productive for you.

Based on my 25 years of experience, I usually recommend a holistic and objective assessment of the problems as part of the solution. These assessments include understanding, first and foremost, the needs of the individual. These can include anxiety, depression, ADHD, peer issues, family problems, stress, and many other things. I treasure the insight the individuals bring to the conversation with their questions, concerns, observations, and overall experiences. I bring these understandings to my therapy sessions and welcome those involved with the individual to lead the individual towards a more passionate, kind, fulfilling life.

I welcome the opportunity to be that for you as your therapist and work together with you to heal your problematic thoughts and behaviors.

It's exhausting to feel like you're just constantly -surviving-. That takes so much strength and courage, but I know it doesn't always feel that way. The good news is that these survival responses make sense, there's nothing "wrong" with you, and the brain and nervous system know how to heal. Through our work together, you can experience new ways of being, so that you can let go of the old, present, or future stuff that's weighing you down, and move toward -thriving-.

When life feels tough, and the day-to-day can feel like a struggle, it can be difficult to know where to turn for help.

Reaching out for help is a very brave step. I will help support you in gaining insight into yourself, identifying the areas of your life that you would like to change, and we will work as a team to help you create a life that feels better to you. You are not alone. I am here to help.

Feeling safe on our own and feeling connected with others is the key to both our happiness and success; it can also be one of the most challenging things we do in our lives.

I specialize in working on attachment issues and relationship issues for both children and adults. In our time together, we would work to develop a treatment plan including setting goals and agreeing on interventions to help you to achieve those goals to live a more fulfilling and satisfying life.

We all have our own unique journeys. Sometimes, we need a bit of help to navigate the bumps along the way. I'm here to provide a welcoming and supportive space for you to explore and grow.
