If you’re considering therapy, chances are there are aspects of your life that aren’t going well. Maybe your relationships are unfulfilling. Maybe you’re having a hard time adjusting to a change or traumatic experience. Maybe you’ve been feeling down, on edge, defeated, or inadequate. Maybe you’re not even sure why, but you know you’re not as satisfied as you want to be. Therapy is a place where you can better understand the issues that are getting in the way of your happiness, explore options for a more fulfilling future, and get support as you contemplate change or adjust to a difficult reality.

Although I am passionate about empowering clients of all ages and backgrounds to lead healthier, happier lives, I specialize in the following areas: women’s issues, relationship and sexuality issues, career exploration/development, emotional abuse, counseling teens.
Therapy is a chance to slow down and step into a safe, confidential space away from the external world to explore your inner one. To sit in a quiet room with another human being who is unconditionally kind but honest, and also trained to recognize patterns of unhealthy behavior, irrational thinking, and the invisible blocks that keep you from being the best version of yourself. I invite you to begin your counseling journey with me and start this process of untangling emotional knots and using these insights to make positive changes in your life.

Do you find yourself struggling to understand or help with your child or teen's emotions or behaviors? Do you sometimes feel like what you’re doing is not enough? Children and teens are developing at a rapid and different pace than adults are. They have different ways of understanding their own world, expressing and managing emotions, and interacting with others. While at times, guardians may feel stuck, the child or teen may feel the same way, yet struggle to process and understand how they’re feeling. Without proper coping tools, support, and warmth, they may find themselves struggling further. This is where I can help.

As a former NCAA Division 1 Athlete, I have a passion for working with athletes at all levels. After over a decade of coaching at the youth and collegiate levels and witnessing the life struggles of my teammates and players, I decided to switch sides of the field to work with athletes outside of the lines. Life off the field impacts performance on the field. If you find yourself feeling more stressed than usual, not performing as well as you would like, or have experienced a case of the “yips” and want to return to peak performance, let’s talk.
