A place where many people choose to live and not visit is in their own minds. Whether it be through trauma, anxiety, rumination, or through an unyielding negative inner dialogue, this place serves as both a gift and curse in the eyes of many. While self-introspection is not a bad thing, research has often stated how a wandering mind if often an unhappy one. Many want to get away from that place, the intrusive thoughts, the lingering negative script that paralyzes what would otherwise be a clear mind. People often lose sight of who they were, a person who they could look in the mirror and be proud of.

It takes a lot of courage to acknowledge that you are wanting or needing help and then acting on that decision. It's a decision people usually make when they feel like they are in crisis or stuck in a relationship, job, or some other situation. Making this decision is a step towards change, because you are acknowledging that you want or need something in your life to go in a different direction. I provide individual and couple therapy with a focus on building healthy connections with ourselves and others. I also emphasize healthy relationships between our mind, body and spirit to develop and strengthen our authentic selves.

I encourage individuals to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that prevent personal growth through identifying what changes need to be made to successfully journey toward emotional health, happiness, and hope. I utilize a comprehensive approach to therapy devoted to helping individuals restore and resolve deep issues through exploration of life's struggles and challenges.

When people face personal problems or internal conflict, they benefit from taking time to talk with an experienced psychologist. It is an opportunity to talk confidentially with someone, outside of your family and friends, who is trained in mental health diagnostics and problem solving. Usually self esteem regulation, anger, anxiety, unhappiness, family conflict or maladaptive coping with substance misuse bring people for help. The purpose of counseling is to resolve conflict and go forward facing life's challenges with more strength and maturity.

I provide collaborative therapy, in which we use your values and desires to develop a plan towards a more balanced, pleasant life!

“Most human suffering is related to love and loss and the job of therapists is to help people acknowledge, experience, and bear the reality of life- with all its pleasures and heartbreak.” -Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D. As a LCSW , I strive to create an open, honest, and compassionate space for each individual I meet.

You haven’t been feeling like yourself lately. You aren’t sure exactly what it is that's causing you to overthink or just your anxiety? Are you sad or is it the season changing? You are becoming easily frustrated with people and things that usually don’t bother you.

From daily stress, feelings of emptiness, traumatic experiences, or even relationship problems, we can get bogged down under the weight of these problems and struggle to find our way through. This is where therapy with a professional can help.

Do you notice feeling emotionally disconnected to others or to yourself? Do you get triggered to feel the need to defend yourself or withdraw and isolate? Do you tend to view yourself or others in a negative light? There are many people that feel overwhelmed by life's experiences. We tend to live out our unhealed past in our present. This is why it can be difficult to see ourselves in a positive light or build and maintain healthy relationships. I work with individuals and couples to help them navigate the challenges that are experienced in life, whether the challenges are personal or relational.
