Experiencing anxiety is a normal part of life, but sometimes it can start taking over your life, and this is when therapy can help. Sometimes it is hard to know what to do, or hard to do what we want when we are overwhelmed by certain fears, feelings or ideas. This too is when therapy can help. Whether you or your child is experiencing anxiety that is causing distress and limiting life, I would love to work with you. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, which will be driven by your needs, desires, and motivations.

I believe we are all worthy of love, understanding, and belonging Although it can be one of life's biggest challenges to give and receive love in this way. It is my honor, to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and supportive space where clients can feel seen and heard within their own unique circumstances. We will explore negative core beliefs and the negative thoughts and emotions accompanying them. As well as challenge protective habits that are no longer effective or helpful. I treasure working with couples and individuals as they reclaim themselves, find clarity, and gain more meaning in their lives & their relationships.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I am passionate about walking along side others on their journey toward wholeness and healing. I work primarily with adults, adolescents, and children experiencing a wide range of emotional or behavioral issues. All of us have experienced suffering or relational brokenness within our stories that can feel confusing or hard to address. While we are most often harmed in relationship, it is also in relationship that we heal. It is my hope that in our sessions, you will experience the relief of engaging the hard moments of your story in the presence of a supportive witness as you move toward healing.

Does it feel like your life isn’t working for you? You’ve done everything the way you were supposed to – but you still feel burned out and discontent. Everyone around you thinks you are doing just fine. But on the inside, you feel empty and isolated. In the past, you always pushed through and made things happen (mostly for everybody else). Now, you’re feeling cynical and not good enough. If you are struggling and wanting to feel connected to your values and purpose in life, I can help.

I view therapy as a relational and collaborative process between counselor and client(s) that focuses on clients' personal goals and desires for change. I work with clients to understand their current difficulties, thoughts, and feelings as well as look at how their past experiences and relationships impact their current situation. Engaging in therapy has many benefits such as alleviating anxiety and dissatisfaction, learning better coping skills, improving relationships with others, increasing self awareness, and finding greater personal meaning.

I love to work with individuals who are struggling with the big questions of life. These often surface during times of transition. This time of transition might be the result of loss such as death, divorce, or the end of relationship. This transition could be a time of entering into a new season of life. Sometimes we are longing for transition and yet we are feeling stuck and unable to find our way forward. There is such fertile ground here, I would be honored to accompany you.

Consider this an open invitation, to join together in authentic dialogue, to get real. I offer you the confidence of my experience, and the warmth of my compassion, my courage and my strength as an ally. I offer honesty, simplicity and safety. I encourage you to stand tall, and to claim and truly own this life, to direct this journey, to master your particular (or peculiar) style, and to express the beauty of a life that you desire.

I work with families, couples, and individuals and see clients in person in my Madison Park office on Mondays and Thursdays and conduct virtual sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and every other Friday.
When difficulties emerge, we have a choice, an opportunity. Challenges are part of life and although we navigate most with courage and confidence, there are times we feel powerless and stuck. By exploring new strategies for understanding our difficulties, we construct a different lens for viewing hardships and subsequently discover our unique capabilities and emerge stronger and wiser. Whether you are a parent struggling with the evolving dynamic of communication with your children, or a partner grappling with the ebb and flow in one's relationship, these are our most essential opportunities for a life changing transformation.

Reconnecting to ourselves, others, and our community is imperative to growth, healing, and movement through life. Taking the time to find and explore creativity, our expression process, and the arts when we are living with mental illness, changes, and just living in general is a transformative process. This process alleviates debilitating symptoms so that we can discover what truly and uniquely works for us in therapy. I have experience working with people of all ages, the majority being youth ages 10-22 experiencing acute mental health crises, and I am open to working with folks of all ages and with any mental health support needs.

It's no small thing to ask for help. At whatever pace feels comfortable we'll look at your situation and try to sort out what might be keeping you from the kind of life you want. Together we'll map out short and longer-term goals, developing tools to help you cope with things that right now might feel too big to handle. I strive to create a safe place to be curious about what things in your life are working and what things may need to change.

It you're reading this then you're taking the first step to getting help with how you're living your life. I find that most people who seek therapy are struggling with some pain or conflict they cannot overcome with the skills and support currently present in their lives. Talking to a trained professional about your troubles can bring relief and help you to make changes. I work with individuals and couples to help them overcome obstacles in their lives such as unrealized potential, feelings of being overwhelmed or hopeless, relationship troubles, constant stress, and self-destructive behaviors.
