The goal of every client who comes to treatment is to resolve the existing crisis or trauma, manage anxiety, reduce depressive and other symptoms, and return to a state of being that better reflects their optimal functioning. Clients who come to therapy are arguably the best suited to tell us what their needs are and where the gap exists between their needs and goals for their best life. Living with grief, loss, anxiety, PTSD, psych ache, relationship distress, trauma (including racial trauma), rejection, and mood disorders takes a toll, not only on everyday functioning but also on self-esteem, self-efficacy and self-care.

Deciding to start therapy takes courage and vulnerability and as a counselor, I feel honored to bear witness to pain and hold hope for healing and growth. My approach to counseling is to provide a safe, judgment-free space for you to process and explore your emotions and thoughts. I use a strengths-based, collaborative approach to empower my clients as they process thoughts/emotions and navigate life. Every person is deserving of a full and balanced life and aim to provide my clients with the tools, skills, and help needed to achieve their goals.

I have been a Licensed Clinical Psychologist since 2005 and use Cognitive-Behavioral and Solution-Focused treatments to help people navigate struggles with stress, mood, anxiety, family, relationships, and grief. I have specialized training in marriage and relationships, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and OCD. I pride myself on creating a relaxed and comfortable therapeutic environment as I know that this space is many people’s first experience with therapy. I believe in setting goals for growth and change and I love to give “homework”, nothing crazy just something to be thoughtful of or working on until the next session.

Do you ever feel so sad that it is difficult to get through the day? Or do you worry so much that you are having trouble focusing or concentrating? Life can be challenging and overwhelming at times and it can be hard to figure out how to cope with these tough situations. It can be even more difficult to deal with these things if we do not have the proper tools to help us deal with these challenges. I can help by providing the necessary tools and techniques to guide you through these difficult times. In 2016 I graduated from Capella University with a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy.

The decision to begin therapy can take a great deal of vulnerability and courage. Sharing your thoughts, feelings, and other personal experiences with someone unfamiliar can be difficult and it's important to work with a counselor who allows you to be completely authentic as you begin your journey of personal growth and healing. I take pride in providing a safe, judgement-free environment for each individual I work with in order to help them meet their fullest potential.

Everyone gets stuck at some point. It's not a matter of if, it's a question of when, what, and how. If that's you now, I'd love to help. Potential clients that would fit well with me are those who want to change but just aren't sure how to get started. I have a particular interest in working with married couples and individuals who struggle with long-term unwanted or addictive behaviors.

I truly believe, as my clients have shown me again and again, that we all hold an innate ability to heal. This beautiful process gets hindered by obstacles, such as how we are impacted by our families, systems, and life events. We learn to adapt to these obstacles, and my hope for you in therapy is to learn how to see them and face them. I see my role as your counselor to be a guide in re-finding yourself and your own path toward greater mental health and wellness. Often, this begins with learning a new way of relating to ourselves and our struggles and suffering.
