Many aspects of life can be challenging, and we all struggle at times, but you don't have to struggle alone. Therapy can offer a safe space to work through emotional barriers, ultimately leading to a greater sense of meaning, growth, and fulfillment. I also think every person’s story and style is unique, which is why I prefer an integrative approach to therapy, utilizing and blending different clinical frameworks suited to each client. Whether you are new to therapy or have been before, your mental health is nothing to take for granted, and I encourage you to reach out for a free consultation to see if we might be a good fit. I work with adults of all ages, including working professionals, artists, and students, spanning a variety of different backgrounds. Common issues I've worked with include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships, life transitions, work stress, shame, addiction, or finding a greater sense of meaning and purpose. My philosophy is also based on a wellness model, which means I don’t focus too heavily on pathology or diagnoses. I value the mindset that we are all striving to reach our own potential in different ways, and all possess unique strengths as well as areas for growth. My hope is to create a safe and collaborative space together, where we can really work on the issues that matter most. Engaging in therapy is an act of courage and strength, and my aim is to work together to ultimately help you reach your goals.

" Real transformation sometimes requires real honesty" - I would love to assist you with finding the path to your true self. Are you trying to find the right therapist? Not knowing what, who or what you need can make a situation worse when you want relief. Let me help you! I enjoy working with individuals who are trying to make meaning of their lives. Whether it involves issues concerning anxiety, depression, stress, anger, life transitions, academic/work performance, or other personal challenges, I will provide you with a supportive and safe space to assist you in gaining insight into your life.

If you are looking to reduce anxiety, acquire healthy coping skills, and improve your relationships then you are in the right place. I am a licensed professional counselor, and I am passionate about helping adults and teens who are ready to process the deep inner conflicts to stop self-sabotaging. As your therapist I can help you see these patterns and also assist you in creating a roadmap to achieving sustained and meaningful change. I specialize working with individuals seeking support for anxiety, trauma, depression, and low self-esteem. The majority of my practice focuses on helping individuals who may present as successful but internally you may feel deeply ashamed or unsettled in life. I practice a modern and relatable approach to therapy and tailor my skills to your specific needs. I integrate affirmation, challenge, humor and a direct and honest approach in my sessions. I have a background as a board-certified art therapist and supporting individuals who have an interest in using art-based processing to aid in their coping. I have a deep understanding of the value of using approaches that are not only limited to talk therapy. In a lot of ways, our earlier adaptations work against us, so changing our habitual patterns of acting and relating to others is effortful and requires a lot of practice. This type of change can be challenging and come at a slow pace, and I honor that in my sessions by working towards building a strong and safe therapeutic relationship.

I believe in the Rogerian principle of having unconditional positive regard for my clients. This means that you will not be judged no matter what you share with me and that I will work with you toward the best outcome. I want to build upon your strengths and help you gain knowledge from past disappointments as building blocks toward a better tomorrow.

Are you looking for a safe therapeutic setting that offers you creative ways to explore the challenges you are facing? My goal is to ensure that you feel safe, heard, and understood. You can choose from a variety of experiential therapeutic tools to increase your awareness and insight and foster opportunities to heal and empower. We are all unique and require a different wellness plan to heal. For over 30 years I have worked with youth, adults, and families professionally and as a volunteer. My experience has provided me with an extensive tool box of interventions and therapeutic modalities in order to individualize treatment that will help you make the connections you need to find balance, growth, and meaningfulness in your life.

Are you concerned with your child's ability to express emotions?Are you frustrated with relationships in your life? All thoughts, feelings and behaviors can be changed. Therapy gives you the chance to explore your concerns, improving many areas of your life, such as friendships, work and intimacy. My approach integrates the mind, body and spirit.

Deciding to go to therapy is a difficult choice for most individuals. I try to make the therapy process as comfortable as I can, from the moment you walk through my door. I provide a safe and supportive environment where one is free to express themselves openly. I am patient, compassionate and understanding to my client's needs. Therapy can help an individual to overcome unresolved feelings, emotional pain, trauma, loss and hurt. I want to assist you in this journey towards a better "sense of self". I look forward to meeting you and beginning our journey together.
