We all go through tough times in life. Sometimes it’s a rough day, week, month, or season. The things that happen to us can have a powerful impact. How we are impacted and move through those struggles is different for everyone. The anxiety might be spiraling out of control or the depression could feel like an unbearable weight. Maybe you feel disconnected from yourself and everyone else.

I seek to know my clients’ strengths and joys as well as their challenges, and to approach the therapy process as a journey of growth that we go on, not a destination to reach. My clients include: college students, middle and later adulthood, teens, adolescents age 11+ , and couples.
