Let's face it: We have ALL experienced some type of negative situation in our lives. Whether it is divorce, death, or other traumatic experiences, you do not have to deal with these challenges alone. Maybe you are having issues in your job or relationships? Perhaps you are having a hard time functioning from day to day or experiencing behavioral issues in school? Regardless of the circumstances, my goal is to walk with you through these difficult times and assist you with discovering healthy coping skills and maintaining a positive lifestyle.

I have a passion for people and doing my part in helping those struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, relationship struggles, communication difficulties, addiction, and self-acceptance. I am a strong advocate for removing any stigma related to mental health counseling as well as leveling the field for marginalized people groups. In a society where we often learn by what we do incorrectly, I focus on individual strengths while also recognizing the role less adaptive thoughts and behaviors play in learning to navigate life in a complex and ever-changing world.

I am passionate about helping clients live a more fulfilling and resilient life. The most important aspect is providing a safe place for clients to express themselves and be understood. Utilizing a holistic approach allows me to look at the entire person to determine how best to help.

"All of us struggle with changes and challenges in our lives. My goal as a therapist is to provide encouragement and hope to my clients and to empower them with practical tools and techniques that facilitate positive growth. I communicate empathy and respect to my clients as well as a good sense of humor. I believe that much of our personal healing results from just feeling accepted and having someone who truly listens and seeks to understand. I encourage my clients to take responsibility for their thoughts, feelings, and actions and to be proactive rather than reactive."

You've always been the strong one; but, right now you don’t feel so strong. You’d like to let your guard down for a second and catch your breath. But you don’t think you can. It would be better to just keep going, pushing, harder, longer. Right? That's what you're used to. It has worked in the past. But, THAT thing that you keep thinking about, have nightmares about and can't stop remembering is starting to wear on you. Your usual methods of coping isn't cutting it, and you're thinking about talking to a psychologist.

I would be honored to help you become who you desire to be and live a life of freedom from negative self-beliefs, fears, compulsive behaviors, poor choices, unhealed trauma or sabotaging behavior. By getting the support, effective skills and encouragement you need, you can see better results knowing I'm on your team in helping you acquire your desired, realistic goals.

My interest is in people, their unique stories, and what brings them to therapy plays an important role in my work. I see my job as helping each individual understand what may be interfering in achieving their goals. I use a variety of techniques, tailored to each person's needs. I enjoy the process of forming a unique, collaborative relationship with each individual, leading to helpful change.
