I believe people are innately good, need connection, purpose, and the need to be valued. Many times, fear or doubt get in the way of decisions to take risks. I am here to support, encourage, and help each client navigate their own specific journey. Helping people, couples, and families is why I choose to be a therapist.

I am passionate about people leading empowered, connected, and purposeful lives. I provide counseling services to a diverse range of clients as they gain confidence, self-knowledge, grow in motivation and inspiration, and have healthy, connected relationships. I work collaboratively with clients in identifying needs, making changes, and practicing new skills in a safe and supportive setting.

Remember when life seemed so much easier? Your responsibilities and pressures didn’t used to feel so overwhelming, and you felt carefree! Relationships with friends and family felt untouchable. Thoughts didn’t swirl out of control, and you could focus on what needed to be done. And feeling lonely wasn’t something you felt often because you felt seen and heard. You have tried to "fix" things on your own but you are still struggling! You feel more lonely and more isolated than ever, and friendships feel unhealthy, and your family doesn’t understand you.

****Not accepting new patients at this time. Will post when availability opens up**** I believe one of the greatest attributes of the therapeutic relationship is the ability to be open and honest with your thoughts, feelings, and relationship issues. Therapy is a place where you don't have to worry about being judged or having your statements negatively impact your world. A place where you can feel heard and understood, and receive objective feedback from someone whose sole purpose is to help you to make your life better.

You already have what you need within yourself to experience fulfillment in your life. Unfortunately, there are many internal and external influences that can prevent this resulting in a feeling of falling short of who you should be. This can lead to a sense of being out of balance, feeling stuck and many of the symptoms that bring you to therapy. I believe that the most important task is to make meaning of your life by increasing awareness of your experience resulting in a new understanding and a feeling of peace and of being at home in your skin.
