There are many reasons to consider therapy as a right choice for you. There can be overwhelming feelings of anxiety and stress, deep emotional or physical pain, relationships that become a struggle, and a longing to be accepted and understood. I specialize in three life stages that can be incredibly challenging to navigate. The teen years, the transition to adulthood and the parenting years can all create immense stress and struggles. I would like to walk beside you and help you navigate those years in a way that brings you from surviving to thriving!

Asking for help takes courage. As a therapist, my role is to support you through your journey of self-discovery and healing. I believe that everyone has the capacity for healing. It is up to the individual to determine what that looks like for you. I will support you and help you process whatever it is that led you to seek therapy.

The high school years are complicated. Teens are complicated. You're wondering where your happy child went and how to get them back. As a Mental Health Counselor and former High School Counselor that has worked with thousands of teens, I believe this unique developmental stage is deserving of specialized care. Teenage mental health is different than adults and children which is why we have to treat it differently. It doesn't have to be about disorders, labels and canned treatments. I believe teenage mental health is about seeing this complex developmental and transitional stage of life as an extraordinary opportunity for growth.

Many of us, at some point in our lives, will need to reach out for assistance.

My hope is that we can work together to discover your strengths and unique characteristics that you can use to overcome the obstacles you may face. I try to provide a safe space where you can come as yourself, understand yourself better, and learn to value yourself and what you bring into this world.

Life can present us with many experiences, and some can be challenging to get through. I would like to assist you on your life journey. I am passionate about helping others recover from their traumatic experiences and learn how to find their inner strength again.

Life is about finding perspective. Often we face difficult challenges, life events, or situations that can threaten our ability to find balance, create meaning, and facilitate growth. When we are unable to find perspective, our mental wellbeing can suffer. Failure to tackle difficult experiences can cause us to feel stuck, paralyzed, and even defeated. With counseling, we can change our outlook to meet those challenges in pursuit of mental wellness. The human spirit is resilient if provided the right amount of guidance, compassion, and space to nurture its’ adaptive abilities.

Life is like a rollercoaster. Cheesy, I know, but it’s one of my favorite metaphors for life. It’s filled with so many ups and downs, at times we’re holding on for dear life and at others, we put our hands up in the air and enjoy the ride. It’s helpful to have someone beside you no matter where you are on the journey, and that’s why I’m here. I use a trauma- and attachment-based approach to target mind, body, and soul. Therapy is a collaborative process, you are in the driver's seat and I in the passenger.

I am a mental health counselor offering a client centered approach and believe that all people can change. Have you been struggling to move past your trauma and feel stuck? Are you experiencing panic/anxiety attacks and depression? Do you feel like the walls are closing in around you, do you feel like running, your heart is racing, you start to feel warm, and maybe you think you’re going to die? Childhood trauma changes who we are, but it does get better. There can be healing so life does not have to be so hard.

The fact that you’re looking through therapist profiles on Psychology Today suggests that you’re looking for some kind of change in your life. The status quo has you frustrated and dissatisfied. You’ve probably tried to change on your own, but the change hasn’t quite stuck. Each time you fall short of the change you hope for, you likely get more discouraged, lose momentum, feel bad about yourself, and return to old habits. It can feel like a hopeless downward spiral that can lead you to say, “Why bother?” But, here you are! You haven’t given up. This is good!

I primarily work with LGBTQIA+ and Neurodivergent people seeking assistance with healing from trauma. I believe you are the person in charge of your treatment and my role is to aid in providing space for you to share and explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Therapy needs to be a brave space as you are sharing yourself with another individual, as you may feel vulnerable, scared, or hesitant. If you are struggling to find your voice and advocate for yourself or feel disconnected from your body perhaps we can work together to create space and reconnect.

Engaging in counseling can be a scary first step. You may wonder if your symptoms are just in your head and if you really just need to "tough it out". I applaud the courage it takes to look for a counselor and entrust someone with the scariest or most difficult parts of your life. I am honored to be that person for my clients.

Life is a constant battle and we do what we can to power through every day. We can't control everything that comes our way but we can learn to control how to process our environment in a way that is more constructive and less overwhelming. Is stress permeating your days? Are the smallest things causing anxiety? Do you feel easily attacked, targeted, on the defensive? When something bad happens around you, do you usually believe you are partially to blame? Difficult jobs, heavy workload, relationship struggles, family issues, and more concerns can be eased with talking it out in a safe and judgment-free space.
