Life stressors and traumatic events can cause anxiety, depression, and other uncomfortable emotions. I work with teens and adults who seek to understand the “why” of their emotions and behaviors, and move away from feeling hopeless, exhausted, or numb. We will work together to help you better understand yourself, discuss hard topics, and build skills to experience healing and growth.

In my 6 years as an advocate for victims of crime, I witnessed the impact trauma can have on the mind and the body. I am passionate about bringing awareness to the effects of trauma and am actively involved in organizations dedicated to effectively responding to and eliminating intimate partner violence and sexual assault. I understand that for many trauma survivors, healing may seem an impossible task. I believe that healing can be achieved by eliminating feelings of shame and developing effective coping skills through evidence-based treatment in a safe and non-judgmental environment.

I value and celebrate individuals who come all walks of life. I believe there are strengths and perspectives to be found in the life experience we face each day. There are many pieces and parts that make us who we are; our life history, our race, gender, gender expression, age, sexual identities, abilities, religious beliefs, and spiritualities. Pieces that are apart of us, but not always in harmony. I believe as we acknowledge, explore and embrace these conflicts, we can find a new meaning to our suffering, new ways of coping, and a new perspective on life.

As a therapist, I am passionate about helping others feel empowered, finding their inner strength, learning to love themselves, and being an advocate for themselves. Therapy is a space where a person should feel safe and understood; a judgement-free zone.

Specializing in attachment-based, client-centered, and cognitive-behavioral approaches, I guide clients through shifts in beliefs, purpose, and identity. My therapeutic approach includes attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Whether questioning faith, exploring sexual or gender identity, or re-evaluating relationships, I provide a judgment-free space to understand and process these changes.

Accepting new clients. When starting therapy, you may wonder what to expect. Each client brings their own unique experiences, values, and strengths to therapy. Therapists also have their own unique style of providing treatment or certain techniques they rely on. It is important to find a therapist that you “click” with. My approach tends to center on building a trusting therapeutic relationship between us that emphasizes the client as the expert of their lives. Research shows that strong therapeutic alliances can predict positive outcomes in therapy.

I believe that self trust and connection to self offers the freedom to live a fulfilling and authentic life. We show up better in relationships when we learn to show up well for ourselves. At times, our own personal exhaustion, loneliness, hurt, worry, and fear can contribute to relational distress, inability to cope, and difficulty recognizing our inner strengths. If we can learn to be honest with ourselves and others about our needs and desires we can begin to heal past or current wounds and strengthen relationships.

I consider it a privilege to partner with people who are struggling emotionally to help them find effective, long-term solutions to their difficulties. I believe it takes courage to ask for help. That is why I am committed to providing a setting for my clients that is both enriching and safe. I approach each person with warmth, directness and openness to make sure they feel well supported through the change process. I listen with compassion to what my clients are really saying. This is a critical piece in creating the space necessary for important work to be done.

Sometimes it is difficult to value ourselves. I believe all individuals have innate worth, and it is my goal to guide clients toward this understanding as self-insight and a healthy self-concept are foundational for emotional and mental well-being. Collaboratively, we will help you develop a kinder, more accurate view of self, deepen empathy, expand perspective, and foster peace and acceptance through trying journeys. Personal experiences have given me insight into depression, anger, and fear and the strength that comes from a trying situation.
