Life can be difficult. I invite you into a safe and caring environment to address the specific needs and challenges you are facing. I view therapy as a sacred process where one is empowered, heard and supported. This process comes from a authentic professional relationship that is established between therapist and client. Through this process of exploration one can gain insight into problems, develop strategies with life challenges and overcome struggles that have been overwhelming. If you don't know what to do and are looking for hope I encourage you to contact me.

Are you tired of feeling helpless? Do you want to take control of your symptoms? I believe everyone is doing the best they can! I help people find their inner strength by providing tools they need to take control and understand their symptoms. By taking control a person is able to understand their experiences and plan for a better tomorrow.

My goal is to provide support and empower each individual I work with to feel happier and to progress towards accomplishing their target goals. I work with individuals to help empower them to achieve an overall sense of wellness. I am able to treat co-occurring disorders such as mental health concerns, substance use concerns, stress management, grief and loss, relationship challenges, thinking pattern issues, and ineffective coping skills. I believe a person should be treated from a holistic approach, allowing them to work on their entire self in one place.

A light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it. Many experience a crisis of faith in troubling times. Perhaps you're facing grief, trauma, life changes, illness, or other difficulties. Maybe you're having trouble figuring out why these things are happening to you and it just doesn't seem fair. The truth is, we can't prepare for everything and sometimes we need a little help. In our first session I really want to understand your needs and how I can be most helpful. My goal is make sure you feel heard and know that there is in fact a light in the darkness and I'm here to help you find it.

As a licensed therapist, I am dedicated to fostering a supportive and affirming space for all individuals seeking guidance and growth. My practice is built on the foundations of inclusivity, strength, and emotional focus, providing a secular, judgment-free environment where every individual’s identity and values are respected. I specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ community and have a deep passion for gender and sex therapy. Alongside me in this therapeutic journey is Pinkie, my 5 lb puppy, who brings warmth, comfort and joy to each of our sessions.

As a therapist my goal is to support my clients as they grow in confidence and strength. As a therapist and a client myself, I believe therapy can help us grow deeper in understanding ourselves, as well as believing in our own capabilities. In sessions, I utilize the skills that fit each client, as well as my dark sense of humor and non-judgmental stance. I have found particular enjoyment working with ADHD, teens, parents, people struggling with boundaries, those in the LGBTQ community, and anxiety. Many providers have a set modality for treatment; I enjoy working with clients to understand their personalities and needs.

If you are trying to manage getting through a traumatic experience, riding the wave of up and down emotions, having relationship conflicts, or just need some assistance with life planning I can help provide direction and healing. I have been trained and enjoy using expertise in areas such as dialectical behavior therapy to assist with emotional regulation, increasing connection to the present moment, managing interpersonal relationships, and getting through crisis situations. I also enjoy using the modality of EMDR (Eye Movement Desentization and Reprocessing) to work on reducing emotions and behaviors related to past trauma.

Potential clients struggling with depression and anxiety, difficulty with traumatic events, and those who are having marital/premarital problems all have one common denominator which is the relationships that surround them. Symptoms such as these are just that; a symptom. The problem's root lies within the system of relationships that surround them. I intend to help you to understand these issues and how they become problems, and to provide a safe, therapeutic environment to discuss them in detail.

No matter what our age or stage of life, there is a lot of pressure to be more, do more, to feel a certain way, or to do things “right” the first time. I approach counseling as a team effort; working with my clients to get to know them and collaborating with them to build paths forward to feeling better in their own time. 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.
