Young adulthood is an exciting time, but it can also be an overwhelming experience. Many young adults experience social anxiety as they focus on new friendships and dating. Others stress about surviving college or committing to a career path. Faith issues become a source of concern for some. For those who are married or in a relationship, connecting with another person emotionally and intimately can be a struggle. Creating a new identity as a young adult can also reawaken old problems from past abuse/traumas, depression, self-damaging behaviors, and scrupulosity/OCD.

I have worked with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety and abuse.
I have seen many clients come in with a huge weight on their shoulders. They need someone to talk to, someone who can validate their experience and someone who can help them see that there is hope. It is such a privilege to sit with clients, hear their stories, strive to understand their pain and show them that relief and healing are possible.

I have had experience working with individuals, couples, and adolescents, assisting them in dealing with a range of issues including post traumatic stress/childhood abuse, sexual issues, divorce, etc.
I truly believe that every individual has the innate ability to heal and to find inner peace. My job is to assist in helping individuals find the tools they already possess, and to provide support for this process. I'm open to providing significant direction or gentle nudgings, depending on what you're ready for. My ideal client is one that simply has the courage and desire to change. I work best with abuse issues, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and grief.

I specialize in the areas of trauma, abuse/neglect, parenting, divorce/break-ups, LGBTQ+ issues, couple's therapy, family of origin issues, adoption/attachment, depression, anxiety, discrimination, personal growth, family violence, and spirituality among others.
I have been working with individuals, couples, families, and children for over 20 years. I primarily use a collaborative, strength-based approach to individual, family and couples' therapy, play therapy with children, and when working with diverse populations. I believe that the majority of people have an internal desire and wisdom that directs them toward healing and changing for the better. Similar to our bodies, the brain naturally knows how to heal given the right conditions. I believe that my role as a therapist is to help people tap into the resiliency of the human spirit.

My life experiences have acquainted me with grief, loss, betrayal, abuse, depression, and anxiety.
Life can be messy, disappointing, disorienting, and challenging at times. John Lennon said, “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” Isn’t that the truth? Sometimes difficulties are the result of our own choices, sometimes the result of another’s choices, and sometimes the result of the hand life dealt us. No matter the source of your difficulties, healing and growth are possible. As Martin Luther King Jr once stated, “If you can’t fly, then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you can’t walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.”
