Getting to the heart of intense emotions and changing the status quo can be frightening. Yet, so is the idea of remaining in a place that is no longer sustainable. You know it’s time to stop trying to fill that void with what is no longer working. It can be very difficult to step out of expectations and into your authentic self. The decision to seek professional therapy and create movement in your life says you are ready. Anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors and negative relationship patterns can become so overwhelming that we feel distrust in everything, especially ourselves.

Good therapy is based on a good therapeutic relationship. There are no "right" answers; only answers that are right for you. Together, we can focus on how you see the world and how the world sees you, improve communication, and identify self-needs, rediscover your unique gifts and role in life, and create and maintain healthy boundaries.

Our extensive experience in mental health and marriage/family counseling enables us to offer effective outpatient, individualized, and psychological care. Our spectrum of care ranges from casual self exploration to more persistent mental health needs. We provide a neutral ground to individuals, families, and couples to support your treatment goals and healing.

I help big-feeling high achievers resolve emotional overwhelm, so they can accomplish their ambitious goals with confidence and ease. Despite being eager about their growth, empathetic, and having a dry (alright, dark) sense of humor, when my clients come to me, they're stuck. While therapy has helped, there's a missing piece. The insights they gained in therapy aren’t translating to their real-life problems. They aren’t the confident person they want to be. They're insecure in their relationships. They’re missing out on professional opportunities.

I would be honored to support your life during these difficult times. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Child Mental Health Specialist (CMHS), my primary focus is on families and children of all ages. I’m passionate about providing a safe place to support my client's needs.

Assisting those with who have lived experience with trauma, oppression, relationships, addiction to substances/gambling and whatever difficulties or pain one may be experiencing. I appreciate being a position to be able to assist others with navigating through the healing and therapeutic process. As a therapist utilizing culturally relevant approaches to my clinical interventions is imperative to the services I provide. The service I will provide will be individualistic and together we will determine the best modalities to use moving forward. Assuring my client is respected and heard.

The therapeutic relationship should empower an individual to regain ownership of their life, shifting negative self-talk and other impacts of trauma; allowing for holistic healing and growth. It is my hope to actively walk alongside my client as they work to create their peace; ultimately gaining an improvement in positive self-awareness and optimism, with a side of lasting security and emotional health.

Immediate openings available. As a therapist, my goal is to help you lead a meaningful, fulfilling life. I firmly believe that you are the expert on your experience and that your values, beliefs, and background have a powerful impact on your life and worldview. I view therapy as a collaboration where we will work together to identify what matters most to you and to develop a treatment plan that meets your needs. To do this, we will define specific treatment goals and targets as we begin to work together. We will also check in throughout the process to ensure that therapy continues to be helpful and enriching for you.

I see teens, college students, adults, and parents: One of the hardest things as a parent is watching your child/teen suffer, whether it be from anxiety, OCD, depression, intense emotion, or social challenges. You want to support your child but feel at a loss. You may feel like the tools you've used for parenting and connecting with your child no longer work. Navigating the demands on your time and the emotions of your child feels impossible. You're suffering, too.

Life problems such as anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts are psychological symptoms that cover the untold and unresolved stories of our lives. Clinical psychology is a way of dealing with these problems by talking about them. I offer Counseling Strategies that help you to adjust and adapt to difficult situations and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy Strategies that help you to understand yourself and your role in relation to life's problems. Professional counseling and psychotherapy offer perspective, insight and new ways of seeing yourself from which to make better choices and avoid problematic repetitive behavior patterns.
