In my practice I serve children 12 and up! I have a passion for children, teens and adults who suffer with anxiety, depression, grief, personality disorders and trauma.

I am extremely passionate about guiding people to a better understanding of themselves and "why we do the things that we do". Our perspective dictates our emotional reactions to situations and therefore it affects our behavior; let me help you gain control of your reactions and change your thoughts! I am especially skilled with Depression/Anxiety, PTSD, substance abuse/addiction, sports psychology, relationships/communication, childhood issues, improving self-esteem, grief/loss, identity development and issues related to the child-to-adult transition. Please see my website and blog for more information.

I value the role spirituality plays in self-evaluation, change, growth, healing, relationships & success. I practice from a family systems perspective, helping people discover hindrances holding them back from living a life they love. Counseling is a powerful support resource, especially when wresting with the challenges & the unexpected that life has a way of throwing at you from past to present. I hope you'll consider letting me support you in healing & designing & creating a life you can love living. Ask me about incorporating yoga & art into counseling. Additionally, I offer an empowering Women's Sexuality service.

If you are working to manage the multiple roles of parent, spouse, and employee, or you are feeling burned out and not sure where to start, you aren't alone! Managing your mental health needs and the needs of your family, working through previous or recent trauma to get through blocks in your relationships, or considering how you can move forward from old patterns can all happen in the context of a safe, therapeutic relationship!

Addiction is complicated. For a long time, society has stigmatized those struggling with addiction, assuming that "addicts" are just bad people who lack the willpower to stop. This couldn't be further from the truth. Addiction doesn't just happen. It is the unfortunate (and unintended) result of trying to alleviate or avoid emotional pain, emptiness, and disconnection; experiences often associated with trauma. This perspective applies to substance addictions and addictive behaviors including sex, pornography, gambling, video games, workaholism, shopping, or any other form of chronic escapism that results in negative consequences.

I admire the courage it takes to be vulnerable and reach out for help. I believe it is a sign of bravery to seek counseling and make real steps towards change and growth. I strive to help my clients move through their pain and challenges with newfound confidence and hope. I most frequently find myself helping clients dealing with life transitions, trauma recovery, grief, and anxiety issues. I've worked in a variety of mental health settings since 2016 including residential treatment, community clinics, college counseling centers, and currently love working on the team at Premier Neurofeedback & Counseling services since 2021.

My perspective has always been that the best work evolves out of a trusting relationship that is mutual and confidential. I approach people honestly and directly as it is my commitment that trust is necessary and central to a healthy psychotherapeutic experience.
