There could be feelings of nervousness or sadness, or an urge to finally get what's bothering you off your chest. No matter what it is, therapy brings out the best in you, and may surprise you. I've interacted with many clients who come in for one problem, and then discover hidden pieces of themselves.

I specialize in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and in solving painful, heartbreaking, devastating cases. Living through traumatic events may result in expectations of danger, betrayal, or potential harm within new or old relationships. Survivors may feel vulnerable and need clarification about what is safe. Therefore, trusting others, even those you previously trusted, may be challenging. It may feel frightening to get close to people for fear of being hurt in an unsafe world. When we conclude, you will see that building trust in old and new relationships is essential to healthy relationships after trauma.

Let's skip the part about the platitudes and therapy-speak mumbo jumbo. You know life can be hard, that's why you're on this site! You don't need me to sugar coat it with a trite intro statement.

It can be really difficult to acknowledge when something doesn’t feel right in your life. It is even more difficult to do something about it. You might not understand yet why you feel the way you do. Maybe all you can know in this moment is something undeniably hurts, and you are desperate for a change. Psychotherapy allows you to finally look at all the complicated moments and spaces to make sense of it all. For you, that means showing up and being open, honest, and willing, not just with me, but with yourself. Therapy is about building a relationship with the truth and learning (maybe for the first time) how to live there.

I’m a firm believer in the power of fostering a collaborative, creative, and open therapy environment where clients feel safe exploring their emotions, goals, thoughts, struggles, and everything in between. The healing journey can be hard, but you don’t have to do it alone. As a therapist, I love helping clients navigate their journey and get to a place where they feel confident in themselves and their ability to tackle life's many challenges. I often work with people who are experiencing anxiety, depression, interpersonal issues, grief, and life transitions.

I provide individual, couples, and family counseling to adults and adolescents. No matter what your reason is for seeking help, counseling is a space for you not only to be heard, but also to be received with kindness and without judgment. I strive to create an environment of trust for clients to be able to express themselves freely. My approach to counseling involves building a relationship based on collaboration where together client and counselor decide the direction and goals of each session. Although every approach is unique to the client, I often pull from person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and psychodynamic theories.

Finding a therapist that you feel truly gets you is crucial to having a meaningful and beneficial therapeutic experience. And while no therapy experience is "perfect", my goal is to help you feel comfortable and safe to be able to open up, dig deep, and get the most from your sessions. You can always expect to be heard, and to have an authentic connection and real conversation with me. My aim is for you to be able to take something from every single session- a new insight, perspective, strategy, or coping skill.
