I enjoy working with adults and teenagers. I especially enjoy working with couples. My journey is unique, just like yours is but there are a lot of similarities that we can draw from in the healing process. Using the skills I've discovered myself and the tools I've learned I want to help you realize there's hope no matter what's going on in your life.

Online Telehealth Therapy... I enjoy various approaches to mental health and self-care. I enjoy many pints of ice-cream, bath bombs, a good book, spending time outside, and working out. Most importantly I believe we owe it ourselves, to make sure we are being taken care of and nourished, too, through our own mental health care. My approach to treatment is tailored to fit each person’s specific goals and needs, and I provide a comfortable and safe space for people to express themselves and work through their therapeutic experience.

Over the years, I have developed my gift of diagnosis which helps me to understand my patients in an accurate and easy to understand manner for them. Then we grieve together the past and implement interventions and boundaries for a healthy future. Psychotherapy is proven to be more enduring than drug therapy, and my approach towards treating my patients is to avoid medication where possible.

Therapy is about creating a space for you to explore and express all the parts of yourself without judgement or shame. Let's make that space together. Take a load off, relax, breathe, and tell me all about it. Let's untangle the problem together and find the path to the life you deserve.

Life doesn’t always turn out the way we planned. We struggle; we fight; we do the best we know how with what we are given. But sometimes we need a little help moving us forward in our journey of life. I believe it is never too late to “do life differently” and learn a different way—whether in our relationships or individually. People are resilient. Sometimes we just need to feel safe to open up, connect with who we really are, and have a safe place to process life and learn new tools. Having had lots of life experience, I am intimately aware of the difficulties and complexities of life.

Waitlist for new clients
Reconnecting to ourselves and our support structures in an ever changing environment can be challenging. We are surrounded by expectations and demands that at times feel overwhelming and out of reach. I work with clients on reestablishing these connections and instilling mental health empowerment. We are all capable of growth and deserving of the opportunity to reset and reconnect.
