Life is full of ups and downs, and I feel honored to be able to help those who are seeking counseling. I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental environment to help my clients feel most comfortable while in their counseling session.

I enjoy working with adults on an individual basis. My areas of interest are anxiety, depression, trauma, mindfulness meditation, finding meaning in life, relationship conflict, and school/work stress. It’s never too late or too early to make positive life changes. It’s always the right time when we decide to better our lives.

I work as a team with clients exploring current issues and how mind, spirit, and body are interconnected. I believe when people have hope and can learn to challenge and replace irrational thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes, they are free to experience change. I utilize an eclectic, client-centered, holistic approach incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy techniques, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Psycho-education.

I specialize in working with teens and young adults age 12 and older, treating anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive behavior, life changes, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, peer/relationship issues, and depression.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, ADHD, burnout, parenting stress, relationship challenges, or major life transitions begin affecting how you function day-to-day. I work with adults navigating emotional overwhelm, self-esteem struggles, caregiving stress, neurodiversity, and the pressures of modern life. I also work well with analytical and high-achieving individuals, including those in engineering and problem-solving professions. I especially enjoy supporting individuals exploring late-diagnosed ADHD, including individuals learning how neurodiversity has shaped their relationships, work, identity, and emotional well-being.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. I use CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and person-centered approaches to help clients better understand themselves while building practical tools for emotional regulation, stress management, boundaries, communication, and self-compassion.

I also support parents navigating postpartum changes, shifting identities, burnout, and the emotional demands of caregiving. Many of my clients are feeling emotionally exhausted by the pace and uncertainty of modern life and are looking for ways to feel more grounded, connected, and sustainable. Reach out to see if we may be a good fit!

Life can feel especially complicated during times of change, or when the stress of everyday life becomes overwhelming. I work with adults navigating these challenges, using an integrative approach informed by existential and humanistic perspectives.

I specialize in supporting individuals through life transitions, relationship difficulties, and periods of spiritual questioning. I believe that meaningful change begins with a deeper understanding of yourself and a connection to what truly matters to you. Together, we’ll uncover your strengths, nurture healthier relationships, and foster lasting growth.

It’s hard to feel at peace when you’re overwhelmed, burned out, masking, or carrying things alone for too long. I offer a safe, supportive space where you can explore what’s weighing on you, express yourself openly, and begin overcoming the obstacles keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll focus on helping you live more authentically, reconnect with your priorities, and build more trust and compassion with yourself and others.

I use person-centered, eclectic approaches tailored to your individual needs and believe struggles and conflict can become opportunities for growth, healing, and self-understanding. Therapy can help you reframe painful experiences, feel less isolated, and move through life with greater clarity and confidence.

In addition to traditional talk therapy, I am a certified art therapist and incorporate creative approaches when helpful. I work primarily with older teens and adults and have specialized experience supporting people navigating autism, trauma, anxiety, depression, mania, and serious and persistent mental illness.

My primary speciality is working with PTSD and trauma. I hear from a lot of clients that their previous experiences in therapy have felt like places to be heard but not to actually change. This often leaves them feeling stuck. I really like to provide a new opportunity for clients like this. My goal is to support meaningful changes for clients with these types of concerns. Are you someone who has experienced sexual assault, childhood abuse, domestic violence, or other traumatic event(s)? Are you a veteran, first-responder, or front-line medical worker? If so, I’d be glad to hear from you.

Although my primary specialty is in PTSD and Trauma, often therapy doesn’t stop there for folks. I have had great success in working with Anxiety and Depression, relationship concerns often related to trauma history, as well as folks who have Bipolar and other mood regulation disorders.

I try to emphasize evidence-based practices as much as possible, so if you like therapy that has clear research support, you’re in the right place. I take a person-centered approach, meaning that you and I will collaborate on what works best. I’m here to work with you and whatever unique challenges and circumstances you’re experiencing.

I started my doctoral program in 2000 and could not wait to get through the boring assessment classes so I could start learning about therapy. I mean, really, what can a bunch of numbers and inkblots tell you about a person? Much to my surprise, those early courses piqued my curiosity and the practice of doing evaluations made me a true believer. Hearing clients say things like, “Wow! It makes so much sense now!” or “I didn’t realize I was doing that” is a powerful and humbling experience. Today, assessment is one of my passions because I see how it changes people’s lives for the better.

My approach to assessment is collaborative, which means building a relationship with you to ensure the experience and results are meaningful. Depending on what you are looking for, test results can range from determining a correct diagnosis to providing valuable information about personal motivations and capacities.

Together we develop an assessment plan, engage in the work, discuss the results, and figure out how it fits into your life. Final reports are a combination of your personal insight and my professional experience.

Through my 20 years as a therapist I’ve come to understand the common issues that get in the way of peoples’ growth and success. I can help you identify what is getting in your way, understand what you learned early on that caused you to feel stuck, and heal from those issues to create lasting change. I utilize trauma treatments such as EMDR and other experiential strategies to help you engage in life and relationships with more vibrancy and joy. I am also certified in Terry Real's Relational Life Therapy (RLT) for couples counseling and welcome couples to therapy utilizing this effective approach for sustainable relational change.

I have specialized experience working with the LGBTQ community and provide a safe and affirming environment. I work with people on issues of sex and sexuality in a sex-positive manner. I am trauma-informed and understand the effects of trauma, both big and small, and have strategies to help people heal from those painful life experiences.

No life issue is too small for therapy. If you are looking to create richer and more fulfilling relationships, increase your self confidence, and learn how to be the parent you always needed, I can help you with that. I look forward to meeting with you soon.

Seeking change requires risk, and risk requires vulnerability. One of my greatest honors as a therapist is being trusted to witness and participate in one’s healing journey. I believe in the importance of developing the therapeutic relationship and creating a space where you are able to be your authentic self. I use person-centered, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness and EMDR modalities to help you achieve your goals. We work together to restructure thinking patterns, explore your story, and reduce recurrent distress.

I have extensive experience working with substance abuse, adolescent anger management, life transitions, gender and sexuality issues and trauma therapy. I enjoy working with adults, adolescents (15+), and within the LGBTQ+ community.

Life is constantly moving, changing, and evolving. Sometimes it feels like too much to take on alone. In a fast-paced world with many truths, I enable individuals to fully understand themselves in a warm, collaborative, and judgment-free environment. I enjoy working with individuals from all backgrounds, especially women ages 18+. I have a special interest in supporting individuals dealing with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, navigating life transitions, managing relationships, addressing eating issues, fostering positive body image, and enhancing self-esteem.

I believe the foundation for therapy is the relationship. I want to create a space that feels approachable and safe to every individual. I will strive to make the therapeutic process collaborative and centered around your goals, with some friendly challenges thrown in at times. I look forward to working with you, and helping you set and meet your goals!
