Everyone needs someone to talk to, to listen, to understand, to offer guidance. Life is full of changes, challenges, hurt and disappointments. For the past 8 years, I have been working with children, adolescents, and families, who face challenges with depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, trauma, suicidal ideation, ADHD, relationship issues, and adjustment issues. I am focused on working with adolescents and adults who have experienced one or more of these challenges.

In all my work, I strive to create a collaborative relationship where clients feel heard and valued.
Counseling is a wonderful step toward desired change, and it can also be a bit daunting at first. That's why I take time to form the therapeutic relationship at a pace that is comfortable for you. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and other various presenting problems. I am especially passionate about helping clients with relationship issues. We often engage in patterns that leave us feeling isolated or frustrated in our relationships. Learning new ways to tune into ourselves and our partner can help ease feelings of distress and improve connectedness.

Folks often come to therapy at transitional moments, such as the end of a relationship, job, or even just the end of the year.
There's a lot of talk these days about "boundaries," but what does that mean? Many are unsure. This is often part of a collection of symptoms, including self-esteem issues, getting lost in relationships, difficulty with moderation, and unrealistic goals of perfectionism, and more. I can help you understand these experiences, which are often related to codependency, resulting in anxiety, feelings of separation from others, problems with intimacy, and repeating parenting behaviors that you disliked growing up. Contributing factors can also be treated, including being raised by a narcissistic parent and other developmental traumas.

I’m a human, just like you, and I view the relationship we build together as crucially important.
Life is too short for bad sex! Do you feel hopeless about sexual dysfunction like vaginismus, premature ejaculation, unreliable erections, or lack of libido, arousal, or orgasm? Are you having sexual struggles, or feeling shame around sex stemming from religious messages or “purity culture”? Are you considering consensual non-monogamy, or having conflict within polyamory or an open relationship? Do you feel conflicting emotions about how to be true to yourself, assert boundaries, and get your needs met within your personal or professional relationships? As a sex and relationship therapist, I’m your partner in healing and change.

Are you concerned about your current relationship with substances but unable to manage on your own? Achieving long-term sobriety is not easy or quick, but our programs are designed to provide the support and tools needed to develop and maintain a sober lifestyle. I provide counseling for adults who are affected by substance use disorders. I utilize evidence-based practices with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Shame Resilience Theory (courage, connection and compassion vs. fear, blame, disconnection). At Breakthrough Recovery Group, I practice Brené Brown principles with clients under a certified Daring Way facilitator.

I've been a practicing mental health clinician since 2012 and have worked in public and private systems serving adults with a range of issues and diagnoses including mood disorders, relationship problems, substance use disorder, and psychosis, among others.
Struggling with strong emotions? Overwhelmed with anxiety or negative thoughts? Do your thoughts and emotions keep you from achieving your goals and living an authentic life with those you love? Sometimes we avoid dealing with these difficult emotions and this keeps us from true connection with others and keeps us stuck in negative patterns of behavior.

Counseling is sacred work. It is through the vehicle of relationship, with both God and others, that humans were intended to experience restoration. While indeed relationships can be a source of pain, they are also a powerful force for resiliency. Through the therapeutic relationship, I enjoy coming alongside clients on their journey by providing a safe and compassionate space for exploration. Together we will go beyond just symptom management and work toward understanding the root of what you are experiencing. Whatever you are facing, you were never meant to do so in isolation.

I value creating a close, personal connection with my clients and using our therapeutic relationship to explore and understand other relationships in your life.
Updated 9/23/24: I have worked extensively with clients in various stages of life transition and mental health workers pursuing their own therapy. In therapy I strive to understand and clarify my clients' goals and help them work toward building insight around their concerns. You don't have to know exactly what your goals might be, and during our work you can always add or change goals. This is your treatment and my hope is that you take an active role in determining the direction and depth of the work that we do together. My hope is that we can end every session feeling that we have made progress.

I focus on working with clients who struggle with self-esteem, anxiety, perfectionism, neurodivergence, depression, relationship issues, interpersonal struggles, co-dependency, self-confidence issues, assertiveness, self-care, chronic illness and past trauma.
Isn't it funny that in the process of protecting us, our brains can also hold us back? I believe growth occurs when we make meaningful connections and are supported on our journey toward healing and self-exploration. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where my clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I approach each client with curiosity, authenticity, and humility. Humor is a powerful tool in therapy, and I often incorporate it into sessions when appropriate. Laughter can be incredibly therapeutic by reducing tension and allowing for a balanced experience of lightness and heaviness in session.

I emphasize approachability and collaboration within the therapeutic process and relationship.
I especially enjoy working with those interested in exploring: socialized masculinity and sexuality (e.g. regulating sexual behaviors / OCSB-informed, desire discrepancy, body image, values and beliefs...), the specific interaction of faith/spirituality and sexuality (e.g. shame, trauma...), intersectional identity work (i.e. our complex and interacting layers as people), surviving dating, navigating life transitions, and living with anxiety (e.g. social, highly sensitive person...) and depression.
