Many of us struggle with internal voices and leftover doubts from past experiences. My counseling approach is to empower clients to live their best lives. The foundation of our work is connection. Together we explore ways to process emotions, realizing that while feelings may teach us something, they are not always facts. We will build an understanding of patterns that may impact how you talk to yourself, engage in relationships, approach your career, explore growth, and much more.

Through a caring and collaborative relationship, I aim to hold a safe space in which you can develop new coping skills and perspectives, safely process trauma at your own pace, and improve overall well-being. As a licensed professional counselor and art therapist, I specialize in working with adults and teens experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship conflicts, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. I have a deep capacity to support clients who have been told that their story is "too much" for others to hold, as well as those who feel they are "not enough."

We all face difficulties in life where we could benefit from additional support. Sometimes the strategies that we use to cope with challenges are helpful, and sometimes they become problematic for us. If you are struggling to cope with challenges or stressors in your life, therapy may be the next step. Therapy allows a safe, compassionate, nonjudgemental space to explore your thought patterns, feelings, and behaviors that may be impacting you. I have over 16 years of experience working with clients who present with symptoms of anxiety, depression, OCD, truama, stress, and many other issues and concerns.

I am offering telehealth services only. The purpose of therapy, as opposed to just talking with a friend or family member, is to facilitate personal and professional growth. This growth is typically most needed in the areas of relationships, mood, performance and an overall improved integration of one's identity and values. In order to make growth possible, one must feel safe in an objective, confidential environment. My primary goal is to offer a safe and supportive place for change. Throughout the entire process, I will encourage, guide, challenge and support you in making the changes you deem to be right for you.
