Hello! I want to help you get back to living your life as soon as possible. You'll find me to be passionate about providing a safe, confidential, supportive, and collaborative environment for you. My approach is influenced by my values of honesty, responsibility, accountability, compassion, and respect. I practice primarily from a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) perspective meaning I focus closely on the interconnectedness of your thoughts/beliefs/values, feelings, and behaviors to help you work toward your goals. I treat a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and relationship issues. Also, I have worked in a variety of settings in the mental health field. I am currently participating in PSYPACT which allows me the privilege of practicing virtually in 36 states (and growing). Finding the right "fit" in a therapist is one of the most important pieces of the puzzle. Once we meet, if we determine that we are not a fit, I'd be happy to guide you to someone who can and/or provide you with resources that may better help. I look forward to meeting you.

Is it finally time to invest in yourself? There is so much pressure to be strong and handle everything on your own that we forget that we all need support. Asking for help in processing through these challenges shows the strength and courage needed to make real and meaningful changes. While I will always make sure to listen, be empathetic and supportive, I will also be direct and will challenge you to identify the patterns in your life that are contributing to your current distress. I will work collaboratively to help you identify and prioritize the values that are important to you and live more intentionally with these in mind. View 4 Photos I specialize in working with autistic, ADHD and other neurodivergent individuals who are experiencing depression, anxiety or working through a life transition. You will always be the expert on yourself and I will be there to guide you in your journey. My counseling approach includes empowering people to find their own voice and life direction. I have over 15 years of experience in various roles as a therapist, clinical supervisor, and professor. While I have extensive training in many different therapeutic modalities, all of my treatment is individualized to best meet your needs. I also offer individual and group LPC supervision.

I believe that change and growth are possible for everyone. Whether it is anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem or everyday stressors of life, therapy can help guide you to turn inward, in a non-judgmental and compassionate way. With a background in trauma, I believe that emotions stay and live within the body; therefore, it is important to allow oneself to pause and feel the emotion. In therapy, I will work hard to create a safe space to allow the client to be their most authentic self. My approach to therapy is a collaborative process, to help guide you to feel empowered and unlock the best version of yourself. I focus on identifying the unconscious thought and behavior patterns that are shaped in childhood. These patterns are what drive the emotions and actions in our everyday lives. I enjoy guiding people to become more conscious of harmful behaviors/thoughts, improve on creating boundaries, communication skills, sitting in the discomfort of an emotion, and to utilize the strengths you bring to the table already.
Accepting New Clients
As a therapist, I aim to foster a safe and authentic space where my clients are able to openly process their thoughts, emotions, struggles, and behaviors without judgment. I greatly enjoy supporting the process of self-exploration, delving into one’s past as a means to better understand their present, and celebrating and empowering the strength and resilience of my clients. I deeply believe in one’s right to self-determination, that each individual is the expert in their own life, and that we are all deserving of a space to feel heard, emotionally held, and supported in our mental health journey. My approach is person-centered and strengths based, utilizing a blend of techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, solutions-focused therapy (SFT), and mindfulness. I also weave in tenants from attachment theory, systems theory, trauma-informed practice, and motivational interviewing. As a queer social worker, I strive to create a safe and affirming space for folx within the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as am passionate about providing culturally sensitive and responsive care to every individual, especially to those with marginalized identities. I look forward to supporting you in your healing journey!

I enjoy empowering young people to pursue peace and healing within themselves, become aware of patterns that have been holding them back, & become confident in their own abilities. I believe we all experience our own unique set of circumstances that subconsciously affect our emotional well-being, our relationships, how we see ourselves, and our interactions in the world. I use a holistic approach in therapy, which means, I look at all aspects of your internal and external environment to help you gain understanding, and discover your best self to begin healing. I specialize in working with children, teens, young adults and families using a blend of eco-systemic family structural therapy, behavioral modification, cognitive behavioral therapy, and humanistic personalized approaches in therapy. In family work, I help families identify and reframe negative cycles, and provide guidance on how to make positive changes. Even if you’re not positive if therapy is right for your child or you, feel free to reach out and state your concerns and/or questions. I strongly admire each client I have met for their bravery in the therapy process. Sometimes all you need is someone will provide a safe space, and offer you a different perspective than your own. I hope to do that for you!

Life is a complex journey that challenges us as we move through it. All the experiences we encounter affect the way we interact and interpret our internal and external worlds. When these worlds become overwhelming, associated with negative beliefs, and/or affect our daily functioning it may be time to find support. I believe that we all have the ability to overcome barriers and obstacles that come our way throughout this journey. Each of us can grow and change through the very strengths we have within ourselves. Sometimes these strengths can be hard to access when we are going through a challenging time. However, through our work together I believe we can access these resilient characters that lie below the surface. My goal as a therapist is to provide my clients with a safe space to explore, process, heal and grow. I use an eclectic approach that is person-centered and trauma-informed. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults in the areas of trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and identity. I also have experience working with the LGBTQ+ community, families, and individuals diagnosed with developmental disabilities.

I believe in cultivating an honest and secure relationship between myself and each client. We will pay attention to relevant interpersonal dynamics that present themselves throughout our therapeutic work. Our prior experiences and significant events greatly impact the way that we relate to others and connect to the world. This can make it difficult to be transparent and vulnerable in therapy. We will first work collaboratively to establish trust and set expectations for our therapeutic work. Throughout my time in practice I have worked with people who have experienced trauma, eating disorders, mood disorders and substance use disorders. In therapy we will look at the ways in which these things impact your life and internal world. We will explore areas that need softness in order to promote healing and internal growth. It can be incredibly intimidating to start this process because so much of it is unknown. I am always grateful to have the opportunity to learn about you as an individual and be with you on your journey.

I enjoy working with young adults into their 30's and beyond who are struggling with any level of anxiety or depression. As our world attempts to simplify through technology and continues to change, it brings with it a changing culture and way of life that is not always helpful for our mental health. Many of us tend to put the world on our shoulders, but forget to care for ourselves. The pressure to "be successful" and fit society's expectations and timelines is a lot to carry. Rather than just managing this anxiety, we can figure out what goals and values are truly your own. I love helping clients as they navigate life transitions and relationships, build coping skills, practice effective communication, and set boundaries. I believe that by recognizing our resilience, challenging perspectives, and growing self-esteem, we can bring more peace of mind within our own lives. This makes space for more joy and self-love. Though I am able to integrate different therapy styles, I focus on maintaining an empathetic, warm, and non-judgmental approach. I believe that the therapeutic relationship itself is the foundation of effective therapy. If you are new to therapy, feel free to contact me by phone or e-mail with any questions or concerns, I'd love to help!

My focus is assisting clients in finding their own solutions. My role is to help uncover strengths and protective factors while building the necessary coping skills required to move through life's most significant challenges. Trauma, grief, sadness, confusion, worry and addiction are the most common reasons why people reach out for help. After listening and identifying issues together, the therapeutic relationship will begin to build and in that safe and trusting space support will be created. We will then strategize and set goals, ultimately developing a road map for greater happiness, a peaceful mind and a healthier life. I counsel all ages. However, I have spent the last few years counseling college students. I find the late adolescent life stage to be a pivotal place where choices begin to dictate the rest of one's life. I also know that the family and social system directly affects their reality and that all members of a network require attention during tough times. I came to the counseling field as a second career after many life experiences. As a parent myself, I am innately nurturing and comforting as I encourage clients to honestly address their issues and meet their goals. I believe that using positivity, warmth and at times humor allows clients to feel comfortable and invites a productive connection.

Have you "disappeared" in order to be in a relationship? Do you feel "selfish" considering your own needs and wants? Would you like to stand up for yourself AND still be in relationship? Is the phrase, "I matter, too," one you want to believe? If so, the time has come to create effective ways to move into relationship with Self and Others. The truth is that each of us matters equally. When we live from a place of mutual importance, we honor boundaries, make decisions for ourselves, and are responsible for the only person we can truly manage, our self. We all need and deserve support. It can be hard to ask for help when feelings of inadequacy, shame, or fear of rejection surface. I have felt those things, too, and believe that, like teachers, they show up when we ache for something to be different. Are you ready? I use family systems concepts to illuminate and improve relational patterns. When an individual, family or couple understands how to manage one's self and communicate effectively, they can reduce reactivity and anxiety and take clear stands. Please call to set up a 15 minute complimentary consultation because you matter, too.
Accepting New Clients
I believe that the most important and healing aspect of therapy is the relationship I develop with each of my clients. Whether you are seeking therapy for help with a specific problem or general dissatisfaction with your life, my first goal is always to establish an atmosphere of trust and openness so that you can talk freely about yourself. Therapy is not a quick fix, but sometimes even a few sessions can give you a different perspective. Being truly listened to is an experience people find very helpful from the very beginning. My approach combines empathy with exploration. Empathy allows me to relate to your experiences from the inside out, to walk in your shoes. Feeling understood helps people to be curious about themselves with a more open mind. Exploration provides new ways to think and feel about yourself and your experiences. I worked for many years in college counseling. My current practice is about half young adults and the other half adults of all ages. I am LGBTQ friendly and also enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds and multicultural individuals. I offer weekly and twice weekly sessions.
