I work with teens, adults, and couples to address issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, couple's conflict, stress, relationship concerns, life adjustments, low self-esteem/confidence, OCD, and trauma.
Starting therapy, whether you are returning or new, can cause a whirlwind of emotions, or may feel daunting. My goal as a provider is to be intentional with my work and build a strong connection with my clients to allow for deep healing to occur. I take pride in making my clients feel comfortable, seen, and validated. With me, no concern is too small or too big. I create a space where my clients can express genuine emotion and be their most authentic selves, unapologetically. I aim to help my clients discover their innate strength and identify opportunities for growth in a compassionate, collaborative, and culturally-sensitive way.

I work with adolescents and adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma and all members of the of adoption triad.
I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Perhaps you are wanting to discover more about who you really are. Therapy is not a one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. I can assure you that I am as real as it gets! I will work with you to create a supportive relationship that will allow us to face the problems you are experiencing and create a path to healing. It is through connection and trust that healing happens.

I work with adults, teens, and couples.
Entering into therapy is a courageous decision to seek life in response to whatever concerns and challenges have gotten your attention. Everyone bears experiences that have had an alienating and destructive impact on their relationship with others and with themselves. Without the support of another to work through these experiences and use them for our growth, these destructive effects often compound over time as we cope and try to heal on our own. Counseling is an opportunity to receive the kind of support that can enable you to find not only relief, but the goodness you have struggled to access in yourself and your relationships.
