Everyone encounters situations when one feels lost, unable to cope, or needs support and guidance. If you're looking for relief from pain; compassionate, nonjudgmental support and guidance; hope for improvement; and lasting change, counseling can help! Research shows that therapy can lead to increased happiness, productive coping mechanisms, fulfilling relationships and improved physical health.

Are you feeling depressed and wondering if you will ever feel joy again? Are you struggling with a huge change in your life and the turmoil that brings? Are you struggling with conflict in a relationship? As human beings, we all of go through difficult times and we can’t make it through these alone. I seek to provide a safe place for people to work through their current difficulties and pain from the past. I want each client to feel cared for, listened to, and challenged to move forward in new ways.

I am client centered, caring and feel a commitment towards the my client's well being and their personal goals in counseling. I have a diverse training background that includes behavioral health, addiction, sandtray, and relationship/marriage training. While I have a eclectic background, I tend to use a cognitive-behavioral approach, stress management, including relaxation/guided imagery, and supportive therapy. My clients tell me they feel cared about. I am down to earth and calm. I aim for results and enjoy working with clients who are depressed, have relationship issues/adustment/loss, anxiety/OCD,and chronic pain/medical issues.

When we grow up in dysfunctional families, we learn skills to deal with difficult situations that were helpful in the past but that may no longer serve us, like shutting down or exploding when we're upset, conflict avoidance, having trouble asking for what we want or need, people-pleasing, perfectionism, numbing with phone scrolling or substances each night...the list goes on. I work with adults and couples who have had challenging life experiences, are hoping to gain insight into how their pasts are impacting them in the present and adapt coping skills to move past dysfunctional patterns.

We all want to feel capable in our lives and relationships - able to handle transition or disappointment. We want tools to communicate what is happening for us. We want to feel cared for and connected to. Distress, anxiety, depression or trauma can obscure and distort our best efforts at connection and communication. You have strengths that serve you well in many areas of your life but somehow let you down when it comes to your most important relationships. Counseling can be a place to make sense of your experiences, yourself and others, and a place to help you learn how to create the kind of relationships you want.

You are constantly questioning yourself, relying on validation from other people to feel good enough. Sometimes, you don’t know who you are, and you find yourself thinking about others and their needs before your own. Your mind races with thoughts about what others might think of you or how they might react, which leaves you wondering, “Why do I feel this way? I’m just not enough.” You sense yourself shutting down with feelings of fear, anxiety, worry, and dread… It might be time to take the next steps to discover how you can more fully engage in your life and the lives of others with greater ease and with greater joy.

We are wired to seek a life of connection, purpose and meaning. Our unique life experiences, deeply impact the way we view the world, ourselves and others. At times, we feel lonely, disconnected, and lost in our search for acceptance, growth and authenticity. I believe that therapy is a path towards reconnection with your true self and others. I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore perceptions and beliefs, deepen your self-awareness, and recognize the profound connection between body and mind.

I love working with women of all ages- early teen years working through friendships, young adults in dating relationships, and adults during TTC, pregnancy, and postpartum.

I believe every troubled relationship has a repetitive pattern with roots of this pattern caused by attachment wounds. My approach looks at how the role we played in our childhood, influences our current relationships, especially as a parent or spouse.

Life is hard, and if you are taking the time to look for a therapist it means you have already made your first steps towards change. My goal is to aid individuals, couples, and families on their journey in healing, and if you put your trust in me I will do everything I can to support that journey.

You're ready for change. You're tired of how things have been, and not just the last two years. If you're looking for an authentic, empathic individual to help guide you along the way, I may be the right therapist for you. I love helping young adults and people early in their careers navigate college stress, peer relationships, and dating, as well as those with established careers, contemplating a change. Anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, stress management, relationship issues, grief/loss, and postpartum concerns are all welcome. You're ready: let's get started.

We are all involved in relationships, with others and ourselves. These relationships evolve and change over time. At times, we can feel frustrated, unappreciated, misunderstood, or just on different pages. I offer an open, warm, and engaging environment. Through a process of thoughtful discovery we will focus on strengths and build from there. Often, we already have what we need to find satisfying and fulfilling bonds. For couples this may be seeking more intimacy, for families we may work on communication, for parents of younger children we may work on growing parenting skills and increasing positive behavior from children. The possibilities are endless.
