Do you feel like you could be a better, happier version of yourself? Do you feel like your life just isn’t aligned with where you want it to be? Are you feeling disconnected from your partner, or from others that are important to you? I have found that the benefits of therapy can be profound. The quality of relationships can improve. It can bring meaning and fulfillment to work. Confidence and self worth can abound.

If ya'll are ready to grow, I'm ready to walk alongside of you. Are you motivated yet confused and hurting, too? You’re not alone. Relationships are tough and require a lot of work. That becomes even more tricky when the world is in crisis. Or, when you feel like you are in the midst of crisis. To be honest, your partner needs you, your children need you, your friends need you, and your family needs you. But mostly, you need you. You deserve the freedom to vent, unload your fear, and make space for peace and change.

Do you feel stuck? Trapped? Afraid to live your best life? We all feel emotions like grief, hopelessness, anger, anxiety, shame, aimlessness or isolation at some point - that's real life. But if how you deal with your feelings hurts more than it helps, then maybe it’s time to try something new. I work with adults and teens to explore why they’re stuck and what changes to make so they can break free. Therapy can provide new ways of thinking and new strategies to deal with stress. Change can be hard and scary. But if we do it right, you won't just feel better - you'll actually BE better. Imagine that!

Whether you are experiencing a change or wanting to make one, the therapy process can help you through it. Finding a therapist that fits your needs is important. I work hard to meet clients "where they are" in making change, and approach therapy in a non-judgmental, transparent, collaborative, authentic, open, warm, and direct manner. I prioritize open dialogue about our therapy process to ensure you are getting what you want from our work together, and invite client feedback to hold me accountable to providing good clinical service. I am an active therapist, and see my role as guiding clients through an often unfamiliar process.

Working in the mental health field has always been a passion of mine. Mental health is vital to a person’s overall health and wellness. Life can be challenging at times, and therapy is one way to address and process thoughts, feelings, events, or past trauma that may be preventing us from living our best lives.

Sometimes we need an objective, non-judgmental person to listen. Family and friends can be wonderful sources of love and support, but sometimes it isn't enough. I understand that the idea of sharing your very personal and painful thoughts and experiences can be uncomfortable. For that reason, I take a compassionate and empathetic approach with all my clients. I strive to build a strong, collaborative, and trusting relationship to create safety, openness, and healing.

Exhausted, sad, angry or overwhelmed? When in the throes of negative feelings, it’s often easy to forget that they serve as signposts for boundary violations or unmet needs. Just as hunger, cold and other uncomfortable sensations shift to a sense of comfort or satisfaction when the need is met, emotional distress likewise transitions to a sense of fullness, wholeness or connectedness whenever the needs which underlie it are met.

During these difficult times life can stop us in our tracks. We can get depressed, anxious, angry, and cannot see a path forward. We do not have to stop thriving, and living the life we want.

I believe in your ability to overcome these challenges, and will work with you to address any obstacle that you are facing.

Rapport is critical for the therapeutic setting; without a positive connection, therapy is a difficult road. Therapists should provide a meaningful experience, which includes a safe place to share. I believe I need to provide a nonjudgmental environment to help healing. My role as a therapist is working with clients to improve their insight, identify triggers, manage life’s dilemmas and help them manage their symptoms. The goal is to help clients identify what is needed, be it, love, joy, peace, self-control, self-image and/or happiness, I meet my clients "right where they are" w/o judgment, but with clinical insight & experience.
