With 27 years of experience, I offer clients an integrative approach to psychotherapy that allows for in-depth work while at the same time being pragmatic and focused. You will have the opportunity to work on changes within yourself in an environment that is safe and attentive. Psychotherapy is a collaborative process of personal growth that can help you work through situational problems and change long-standing patterns.

I enjoy working with individual adults and teens through a systemic and relational lens. I work with adults to build and strengthen a deeper sense of self by exploring who we are in our relationship with self and others. I am interested in working with couples to build more closeness and safety through an emotionally focused approach to help strengthen the bond and consequently felt security and intimacy in that relationship. I also offer walk & talk, as well as other movement based therapies to help incorporate our bodies in the healing process.

If you have a desire to make changes, but aren't sure where to start or don’t feel like you have the expertise to do it alone, therapy can help! Stressors like communication issues or strife with your partner or family, anxiety or conflict at work or church, or past abuse or other traumatic experiences can all weaken the body's ability to be as effective in life. Having an intentional time each week to focus on yourself and your connections or stressors is what therapy can offer. It's a time to pause, reflect, and dive deeper into what's weighing you down and shore up what matters most to you.

I value each individual that steps into my office and do my best to help my clients feel comfortable and welcome. I strive to help clients find a healthy balance of personal time, family time, and work time. I attempt to model this lifestyle by holding myself to the same standards as my clients. The intersection of race, gender, social class, sexuality, nationality and religion are deeply embedded in my counseling approach. I do my best to help you feel seen and heard.

There is no substitute for tending to our personal and relational experiences; it is likely the reason you are reading this. Welcome! From my experience, when we desire a deeper engagement with life or significant problems arise, often something within us wants our attention. When we pay attention to our feelings and actions rather than focus on events or people, we frequently discover the "How" of creative change. Sometimes change means behaving in unfamiliar ways, adapting to limitations, or relating differently to our partner. Hence, my approach embraces the wisdom and direction that problems and desires provide within each person.

Everyone needs support in sorting through their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors at various points in their lives. It takes time to understand how our formative years and our present circumstances have shaped our view of ourselves as well as our view of others and the world at large. I hope to provide an empathic space where you can explore your inner world, and in doing so discover new insights that will help you be kinder to yourself in the midst of life’s difficulties. In couple & family therapy, I will help you to identify which patterns are causing disconnection and then help you form a secure attachment to your loved ones.

At my very core, I enjoy and cherish people and your stories. That I get to be a part of your process of discovery, growth or healing is a great honor and one that I do not take lightly. I believe in the ability for people to heal, grow and change and draw from a holistic, person-centered approach. I specialize in assisting you through life's adjustments; meaning making, loss, grief and mourning; counseling with counselors; trauma, relationship challenges and struggles with a variety of mental health needs (e.g., anxiety, depression, anger, etc.). I believe in walking alongside you with your healing.

Hi there! I specialize in helping people navigate the dark difficult edges of life. Darkness might express itself as depression, anxiety, persistent grief, a sense of isolation, suicidal thoughts, a feeling of being stuck, or... a whole mess of things unique to you. ​In therapy, we work together to build a container that can hold the inevitable fear that comes with exploring dark edges, and the rejected, heavy parts of ourselves that seem to keep getting in our way. It turns out, witnessing and caring for these troubled parts of ourselves, opens up possibility for deep joy, curiosity, emotional courage and life shifting compassion.

Hello there! Understanding your own story and what has led you to this point in your life can feel overwhelming, I’m here to help with that. It's important to know the truth of your own story, identify patterns and see where you might start making changes. My goal is to provide you a space where you can be your authentic self, explore old wounds, gain self-confidence, and take action to live a life aligned with your values. Oftentimes this will look like identifying boundaries, how to communicate these and honor them. Wherever you are at in your journey of aging, spirituality, and identity is where we’ll start.

Welcome to my page and congratulations on taking the first step towards investing in your well-being. I hope to hear from you. Human experiences such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, family of origin issues, relational issues, trauma, abuse, and neglect can often lead to feelings of being stuck, social isolation, struggles with meaning making and spirituality, unmet needs, lack of self-awareness, incongruence, and hopelessness. Counseling can be an amazing resource in such times because we all deserve to be heard and seen in a safe place.

My ideal client is someone who desires to figure out how to be more comfortable in their own skin. By this, I mean, a person who feels that something is "off" in their mental and or emotional life and would like help exploring this in a non-judgmental, safe space. I believe we are called to peace and joy and yet so many of us struggle with fear, sorrow, regret, anger, anxiety, depression, trauma.

Life can be hard but what’s even harder is trying to figure it out on your own. Trauma, depression, anxiety among other difficulties can be challenging to understand and cause chaos to our lives and relationships. We want to feel better, but feel as if everything and everyone is letting us down. What we want most is to feel strong and free from the burdens of life. Every person’s struggle is unique, but so are their strengths. My goal as a counselor is to help clients find their unique strengths and freedom from pain. I place great importance on assisting clients in finding the tools to succeed and find peace in their world.
