I know from my own experience how difficult it is to take the first step toward getting help. Once you've done that, you must face the difficult task of choosing a therapist. This is a very important and personal decision since the success of treatment is dependent on the client/therapist relationship. I believe the therapist/client relationship should be a collaborative one where we work as a team toward your goals.

Hello! Thank you for visiting my site. I have 20 years of experience working with clients between the ages of 4 years old to adult. I have seen clients that struggle with anxiety, depression, coping skills, parent relationships, peer relationships, martial issues and trauma history.

I am accepting new clients. I have experience working in a variety of clinical settings treating both mental health and addiction issues simultaneously or separately. I offer court-ordered alcohol and drug assessments, DOT assessments as a certified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), as well as attorney-ordered assessments. What makes my approach unique, is my ability to adapt treatment to fit your specific needs thereby making a complicated process a little more manageable. When the client can wrap their mind around the problem in a way they've never considered is the beginning point for effective and meaningful therapy.

I offer a personalized and holistic approach to therapy, moving beyond a clinical, symptom focused model. Working collaboratively we will tend to the roots, uncovering whatever it is that is stunting your growth and implement healing. I offer skill development practices that encourage self-regulation, self-knowledge, self-confidence, and self-efficacy that will aid you in your ability to heal and live an authentic, joyful life. When we know ourselves well, are confident in our ability to trust, change, heal and grow, we are better able to make choices that align with our true selves leading us to a life of purpose and meaning.

As a mental therapist, my ideal client is an adult facing challenges such as parenting, trauma, stress, men’s issues, anxiety, depression, or burnout.

They aim to improve emotional regulation, resilience, and overall well-being. I enjoy helping clients build skills and manage their mental health, empowering them to overcome difficulties and achieve personal growth.

Stories have power. They can shape the way we see the world, how we interact with others, and how we see and treat ourselves, and these can have a great impact on our physical and mental well-being.

I work primarily with children, adolescents, and teens, but have worked with individuals across the life span, including those with diverse physical and neuro backgrounds. Regardless of who I am working with, I strive to be strengths-based, trauma-informed, and resilience-focused.

Our lives are complex. As your therapist, it is my job to understand this complexity coupled with your psychological needs to facilitate the realization of your goals. I see my role as understanding you, your history, and your environment in a holistic way and using that knowledge to promote exploration and growth. Beyond understanding why people act the way that they do, I collaborate with you to apply that understanding to interventions that facilitate positive change.

Whether you or a loved one are experiencing a life transition, healing from a trauma, having relationship difficulties, finding the stress of everyday life to be overwhelming, grieving the loss of a loved one, or simply looking to feel better, I am here to listen. Individual therapy can provide you a place to talk about what you are experiencing and help you work through the difficulty and hurt. As a therapist, my primary goal is to provide a safe, confidential, and nonjudgmental environment for my clients to explore their thoughts and feelings.

I approach therapy from a viewpoint of balance between therapeutic relationship and skills-based intervention that are best fit for the individuals involved. My background in therapy includes primarily working with children, adolescents, and families including youth in foster care. These experiences created a foundation of viewing attachment and secure relationships as a foundation for mental health wellbeing. I continue to practice from this lens and hold it as a central component throughout treatment. From this basis we will consider what approach will work best to help you along your path towards growth and healing.

I believe that everyone is unique, and that this uniqueness should be celebrated and used as a tool for growth and healing. I employ a person-centered and trauma-informed approach as it encourages the client to be in charge of the therapeutic process. I describe it as I'm holding the flashlight so you can find the right path. I look forward to meeting you and going on this journey together!
