Change promotes growth. Whether self-generated or completely unexpected, change can be challenging for some, and inspirational for others. Having a clinical partner to join you as you navigate your journey can ease the stress that comes along with the inevitable changes that you will encounter throughout life. My clinical approach is to work with you to emphasize your personal strengths and to help you discover ways to feel at peace with yourself, especially when facing stressful times. I work with individuals and couples to help you feel supported as we partner together to accomplish your goals.

While asking for help can be a frightening experience, it doesn't have to be. I strive to take the frightening out of therapy, and utilize empowering strategies to help individuals become the very best they can be. My professional experience involves working with teens, adults, and couples. I have experience with individuals working through traumas such as being victims of rape, incest, bullying, and abuse. I also work with military personnel, assisting through traumas such as PTSD, and assisting with reintegration.

Relationships can be our greatest source of motivation, purpose, and vitality, as well as our greatest source of suffering. The more a relationship means to us, the more painful it can be when it's not working. Fortunately, I believe that even seemingly minor shifts in awareness and behavior have the capacity to transform a relationship. I work with individuals and couples to identify the source of disconnection in their relationships, understand themselves and others more deeply, and learn how to reconnect with themselves, partners, family members, and friends.

Of course, there is a "je ne sais quoi" about the therapeutic relationship.
The most impactful controllable factor in therapy is the relationship you build with your therapist. While I work with a variety of individuals, I typically resonate most with those aged 13-35 focusing on anxiety, depression, PTSD, and CPTSD. I offer various forms of talk therapy and am a qualified provider of EMDR and TF-CBT.

Drawing from my professional experiences in inpatient crisis care and outpatient therapy, I utilize compassion and creativity to meet you where you are on your journey. Working with families and couples, I’ve witnessed the many shapes love can take and how gaining common understanding can create meaningful change. Often, to feel truly heard is to begin to heal. Whether stuck in painful thought patterns or relationship dynamics, therapy can crack open a door to new possibilities. Whether you are seeking therapy with specific goals in mind or from a place of confusion - I am confident in our ability to figure it out together.

In addition to individual therapy, I provide couples therapy and find this part of my practice to be particularly rewarding.
I see psychotherapy as a collaborative and exploratory process, in which your specific goals, needs, and wishes will determine the focus of our work and I will help you navigate through the impasses, challenges, and complexity that inevitably confront us as human beings. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to addressing mental health or for righting the ‘ship – our relationship to self and others in our life. That is why I tailor treatment to address the deeply personal concerns you are contending with. I have experience in psychodynamic, relational, CBT, and ACT. Oftentimes, a combination or integration of approaches works best.

As a therapist specializing in life transitions, I offer support for those facing significant changes. Whether it’s coping with the loss of a loved one, navigating the journey of building a family through infertility or adoption, managing parenting challenges or empty nesting, dealing with divorce, addressing mid-life concerns, adapting to a new health diagnosis, or embracing a new chapter in life, change can bring about anxiety, sadness, confusion and overwhelm. My goal is to help you develop the tools and strategies to manage difficult emotions, alleviate self-doubt and move forward with clarity and ease.

I have experience with mood disorders, trauma, ADHD, autism, parenting, and couples work.
Therapy should be more than telling yourself that things are okay when they're not. Therapy can bring healing to wounds that have lasted for years, and finding the right therapist for you is an important first step in that process. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, difficult relationships, and identity challenges. As a trauma survivor myself, I understand both the depths of despair and the struggle to find yourself amid all your pain and loss. Don't give up on therapy if you've had bad or less-than-ideal experiences with therapy in the past. Each therapist is different, and you can find the right one for you.

My work with individuals involves reflection on their relationship to the physical, cultural, and psychological environments they inhabit, a conscious realization of their strengths and desires and the creative re-imagination of their lives.
My first ten years as a psychotherapist were spent in New Orleans, where I worked, in part, to provide support and healing to members of a community ravaged by the traumas of Hurricane Katrina and the BP Oil Spill. This experience equipped me to serve people within the context of dramatic and disruptive life changes. I collaborate with my clients to manage their symptoms, transform the effects of trauma and grief, address creatively relationship issues, career changes and artistic blocks, and engender personal growth.

I specialize in working with couples, families, and college aged students.
My therapy services exist to provide genuine, Christ-centered, Christian counseling to those facing emotional or relational difficulties. I desire to equip and empower each client by relying on Biblical truths and by using practical therapy skills to help my clients heal, grow, and change. I seek to offer objective advice and focus on a big picture perspective.

I have the training and experience to help you in any number of areas including: relationship stress, life transitions, addictions and recovery, compulsive attachments, grief/loss, shame-based trauma, emerging adult stressors, mood disorders, boundary setting, codependency, LGBTQ- related issues, and self-worth.
Whether you are considering making changes for the first time or looking to maintain long-term growth, my goal is to walk alongside you on that path for continued self-discovery. The goal of therapy is to promote biopsychosocial-spiritual wellness built on your values and boundaries. Therapy works best when it is collaborative so my intention is to provide the space for you to express yourself freely and get to know yourself on a deeper level as we work towards a collective goal. I like to draw from a background of CBT skills, shame-resilience, and positive psychology to empower the people I work with.

I also provide family and couples therapy.
I try and help people increase the "quality" of their lives which often means helping people whose thinking/behavior and feelings don't seem to connect.I use many different approaches to therapy and draw upon numerous orientations if helpful to the client's goal of change. I strongly advocate for the mind/body connection; healthy mind helps the body be healthier. Past issues are of importance but don't have to be the major focus. I can help you with depression, anxiety, relationship issues and PTSD. I am proud to be a Tricare provider.

I specialize in helping people - just like you - struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, major life transitions, and relationship difficulties.
Feeling overwhelmed is all too common these days. Sometimes, uncomfortable thoughts and feelings even keep you up at night. You spend a lot of time trying to convince yourself that everything is "fine,” but deep down you know it's not true. Hoping all of this would just go away hasn't worked. Instead, you feel sad, isolated, and scared. If you're being honest with yourself, you know things won't improve unless you take action; but it's hard to imagine what would make a difference.
