Sometimes life’s challenges can leave us feeling alone, isolated, confused, or disappointed.

We may find that our days are filled with many different stressors including roles, obligations, and expectations we are meant to fill. This can leave us feeling empty and exhausted.

I consider therapy to be a journey where I work with, and more importantly, walk with, my clients by using a client-centered approach, sprinkled with humor.

My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you are freely able to process life's challenges.

I work with children (6+), teens, young adults, and adults. I also provide couples and family therapy.

I give each and every client support that is tailored specifically to meet their personal counseling needs and concerns.

Using different therapeutic approaches such as Family Systems Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Strength-Based and Solution-Focused theories, I offer clients an empathetic yet evidence-based approach.

My experience also includes working with and supporting clients that struggle with parenting issues/support, OCD, ADHD, chronic pain or medical issues, maternal mental health (pregnancy, prenatal, postpartum), infertility, and relationship issues.

I have worked with individuals, couples, and families in a wide variety of settings including in schools (preschool through college), a substance abuse clinic, a community mental health clinic, intensive outpatient programs, and private practices.

The first session is spent getting to know you and talking about areas you would like support in. We will work together to create a plan and goals to help you on your therapy journey.
