Many of our personal, emotional and relationship problems are simply caused by a lack of self awareness, adapting to new situations and negative thinking patterns. Healthier ways of thinking and having greater self awareness helps work through these day to day challenges. We have great strengths and gifts that are not always easy to notice or understand at first. Personal growth, developing coping strategies, improving communication and making positive life changes can enormously help resolve these issues. I hope to help you develop the best version of yourself.

Are you ready to end your struggle with negative self-talk, disruptive behaviors, unhealthy relationships, constant anxiety or depressed thoughts? Some common thoughts my clients express are: “My anxiety is paralyzing,” “I always end up in these destructive relationships,” “I’ll never find the right person,” “I’m a terrible parent,” “I’m such a failure,” “I keep making the same mistakes,” “I’ll never be good enough.” I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to keep feeling this way. You don’t have to stay disconnected and lonely, anxious or overwhelmed. Change is possible. Congratulations on beginning this process.

I enjoy working with adults to aid in self-growth by working on overcoming daily and life stressors, learning and breaking unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns, as well as managing self-esteem issues, anxiety and impulsivity. Through active listening and support, my treatment philosophy involves helping clients improve their well-being by processing, building self-awareness, and developing tools to cope and manage their issues and concerns. My empathetic nature helps clients build trust to focus on and work toward achieving their goals. I consider myself a child-free, LGBTQIA+, and sex worker- affirming therapist.

Words are not always enough to truly capture the complex thoughts and emotions we are experiencing. Through the process of creating art, thoughts and feelings that would otherwise be challenging to express can be liberated within a compassionate, confidential, safe space. As a professional counselor and art therapist, I am dedicated to establishing an authentic, intentional, and trusting relationship with each individual I work with. I specialize in working with children, teens and young adults with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, bullying/peer issues, identity exploration, neurodiversity, and trauma.

As a therapist, I rely heavily on the power of the therapeutic relationship, viewing this relationship as the foundation for safety in working with individuals and their internal systems. Our work together develops insight into one's own internal landscape and explores the wounds that create difficult emotions, thoughts and patterns in day to day life. Working together, such processing fosters a relationship with oneself in a way that goes beyond their past.

Clients come to therapy with individual needs, goals and expectations. Difficult, uncomfortable emotions may have you doubting or criticizing yourself. Perhaps you're ready to explore and heal from recent or long ago painful, traumatic experiences. You may feel growing frustration and hopelessness with a marriage filled with conflict or disconnection. Anxiety or depression create a gnawing feeling of being 'stuck' or lacking direction and purpose. My clients describe my approach as collaborative, compassionate and encouraging, supporting your goals and empowering you through insight, strategies and rediscovery.
