You are in luck! Thankfully you no longer need to sift through anymore therapist profiles on this site, I assume you're looking for a competent therapist to help you deal with the various curve balls that existence throws at us. First off, life is hard & we need other people to help us through times when things fall apart. All of us have fears that most of us spend a lot of energy avoiding for good reason. But unfortunately avoidance can get in the way of our growth and compound our difficulties. Going about this alone can make our challenges even more difficult. We need someone with compassion/skillset to guide through the BS

Hello! So, you know those therapists who are calming, soothing, and usually have one of those freaking awesome rock formations with streaming water behind them? Yeah, well... I'm not one of those therapists! First off, I just used the word "freaking" in my intro, and that's when I'm trying to be my most professional self! Secondly, and more importantly, I'm just not into all the head bobbing and "tell me more." I'm more of a "Talk to me... what's going on?" kind of therapist. I will listen, and never judge you. I will laugh (and sometimes cry) with you, and I will use every therapeutic tool at my disposal to help you!

I consider myself a generalist clinician. I have experience addressing recovery/addiction, sexual problems, gender/identity, behavior problems, trauma, ADHD, interpersonal conflict, depression, anxiety, chronic stress, and more. My interest is to empower and support my clients - to work together and personalize their therapy to suit them individually. I work to provide a safe and productive space for clients to overcome adversity, and care deeply about understanding each person's diversity in identity and presence. I strive to remain open to and aware of my biases - including my privilege, identities, and beliefs.

I approach my work using a client-centered, strengths-based model. I view every individual/family/couple as unique, utilizing methods and techniques best-suited for each situation. My experience includes many areas, all pertaining to individuals, couples and families. I am passionate in working with women, teens, couples and the LGBTQ community. I was trained in Family Systems Therapy; I approach therapy work holistically, focusing on the individual and extending beyond, to the interactions between family members and significant others. I work with clients to help them recognize how extended family, culture, and society may impact them as individuals.

Limited Morning only availability at this time. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and I primarily work with adolescents and young adults. I believe that the therapeutic relationship above all can provide an opportunity to heal, grow, and learn about oneself as an individual in the world. That human connection in counseling is powerful. Sometimes asking for help can be difficult and my view of facing that challenge, is why not utilize all the resources we have in life to find connection, joy, and skills for success. If you are facing challenges in life and need somewhere to explore these, email me!
