I am a short term, wellness oriented and goal focused therapist. A joyful and purpose driven life is what most of us strive for. Sometimes we are temporarily knocked off the track by a catastrophic event or ongoing life situation that appears to be hopeless or unsolvable. These roadblocks, however, can be overcome with will, good support and the right tools necessary to change our attitudes and life circumstances so that life works for us, not against us, once again. For anxiety and depression I incorporate meditation, tapping, vagus nerve stimulation and relaxation exercises into my sessions to help you regain control.

When we are struggling with our mental health, sometimes talk therapy doesn't feel helpful. Often, learning new things we can do to feel better is much more effective. This is where I come in! My work is grounded in mindfulness, neuroscience and teaching techniques that have proven to help people feel better and thrive. Using a very present day focused, action-oriented style, I help people eliminate problematic anxiety (or panic) and repetitive cycles of depression. If your goal is to improve your mental health through empowered action- I can help!

I have an informal practice focusing on real world solutions and living the life you have always wanted. The biggest predictor of positive outcomes is the strength of the relationship between therapist and client, so I encourage you to get started today by giving me a call and scheduling a free 10 minute consultation. I hold licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Mental Health Professional with experience in both adult/adolescent therapy and crisis intervention.

I believe "you are what you always needed". My goal is to hold space for clients to examine underlying reasons for anxiety or depression. I guide clients in addressing their unmet needs, tap into their inner wisdom, and to learn adaptive skills. I encourage clients to identify how self-love and authenticity shows up in their decision-making and how it contributes to emotional relief.

Stories are one of the primary reasons why I chose to enter this profession and, while I have only been a professional for part of my life, I have been listening to peoples stories for a long time. I believe stories is where our humanity rests and stories display the full range of our complexity and connection as humans.

Do you wake up in the morning feeling empty, tired, and unmotivated? Are you struggling with issues related to your past, uncontrollable thoughts, anger, grief, communication, anxiety, or major life changes? Are you seeking a more loving, meaningful, and harmonious relationship with your partner and your loved ones but don't know how or what to do to improve it? There comes a time when help is needed from a licensed professional. As Maya Angelou wrote, "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you".

My practice is client-centered, honest, and empathetic to my client's concerns. Trust is the major factor that enables clients to talk about what is at the heart of their problems, and we spend the time necessary to develop that trust. I view the therapeutic relationship as collaboration with my client on a unique journey towards self-enhancement, wellness, and goal attainment. I want to help empower you to overcome your personal obstacles with a compassionate and respectful approach in a safe place where you can share and build self-awareness as we work together to change.

I believe in the value and importance of the therapeutic relationship and aim to build strong rapport and trust with my clients. I take a person-centered approach with the goal being to provide a non-judgmental space for every person who sits across from me. I am passionate about helping people find healing through therapy, and for those who are interested, I offer faith integration in the work we do together.

Where people feel important, valued, understood, and welcomed. Then we can work together to challenge the thought patterns and emotional limitations we may put on ourselves.

Therapy is a collaborative experience where we work together on the reasons why you came to therapy. Through the growth and the development of the therapeutic relationship the reasons why you come to therapy can be explored in a safe and friendly environment so that you can become the person that you want to be. Also I accept many insurance plans through my private practice.

Together we can discover the root cause, make changes if necessary, and move forward into a life full of confidence and freedom. There are many factors that can take away from our emotional and mental well-being, such as unresolved past experiences, relationship issues, or physical pain. Whatever the underlying factors might be, I believe in assisting others to address them. I believe everyone deserves the best quality of life possible.

Do drugs and alcohol have a problem with you? Does it wreck havoc in one or more areas of your life? Do you "self-medicate" because you don't know how to deal with the pain that lives inside? Do you have childhood or other traumas you need to resolve? Are you anxious, stressed and have unhealthy habits to try to relax? Reaching out for help may be hard considering how society has stigmatized people who have addictive behavior. Did you know that treatment for Addiction can be easier than you thought? It can also be incredibly supportive, inspiring, and uplifting. Your life will drastically change when you take back control!

I provide hope and relief to people experiencing strain in their relationships. You and your partner may have been living through communication breakdowns, big life changes, or “couples drift” for years. If you're engaged or newlyweds, you might be hoping to avoid the pitfalls you've seen hurt your friends and family. If you and/or your partner are neurodivergent, you might need someone to help you speak the same language. If any of these struggles sound familiar, it might be time to rediscover the strengths that drew you to each other in the first place.

I love to work with genuine people who are trying to figure out life, relationships, and finding the meaning in all of it. My work is a collaborative process that focuses on empowering people to create new ways of being present in their lives, strengthen their relationships, make more healthy choices for both body and mind, and dismantle any depression, anxiety, or trauma that gets in their way.

It’s important to me, as a human and therapist, that you are understood. One of the first things they teach counselors is that you must truly engage with clients through listening. My goal is to meet you with compassion and curiosity in order to tackle life’s challenges with unconditional positive regard. Without this baseline of curious, active listening, there’s no room to build an invaluable therapeutic relationship, where the best healing and growth takes place. Once there we will set goals, uncover patterns and values, identify how you make meaning, and - by the end of our time together - have you closer to who you want to be.
