I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have spent over 18 years collaborating therapeutically with individuals, families, and schools. My passion is to help people learn ways to capitalize on their strengths, to help create an openness to gain improved skills, and to provide support as clients set a path towards improved day-to-day functioning. My experience has allowed me to help children, adolescents, and adults in private practice, juvenile justice settings, community settings, and school settings.
I now work exclusively in private practice and specialize in working with adults. I have treated a wide variety of conditions and have developed specialties in supporting those affected by depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, parenting concerns, coping difficulties, and chronic illness.
I have a wealth of respect for those who choose to enter counseling. My goal is to provide a supportive and collaborative counseling environment so that you can use your strengths as a spring board to help achieve healing and growth.
My background in mental healthcare enables me to bring a new perspective to people navigating stressful transitions and confronting difficult issues in their lives. I help people move forward with self compassion and increased understanding of themselves and others. The treatment I do is designed to meet individual concerns and needs. Greater clarity and new insights lead to successful resolutions.
I help people of all ages to feel confident in themselves, in life, and managing the stress of dealing with people. I specialize in helping clients overcome anxiety, improve relationship issues as an individual, providing therapy for Highly Sensitive People, and conducting child therapy through play.
I provide genuine and compassionate therapy to help you feel heard and not judged. I am here to guide you in understanding yourself and how you feel. I can provide practical steps so you can make changes you want for living life without anxiety and self-doubt.
My counseling style is client-focused, so I use what works best for each child, teen, or adult I see. I can use creative approaches like art, conversation, music, and play, to help you explore situations, find coping skills, and work through challenges. I provide a supportive space to allow you to be who you are and become who you want to be.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor who has worked therapeutically with clients in institutional and outpatient settings, and in private practice with individuals, couples, and families. My passion is to help people become empowered to embrace themselves and their strengths by helping release their distressing feelings and pain while simultaneously learning healthier coping skills to help you move towards improved day-to-day functioning. I now work exclusively in private practice and specialize in working with pre-adolescents, adolescents, and adults. There is nothing more sacred than watching a person blossom into who they are meant to be as they release the shackles of their disturbances and traumas. Just imagine how freeing it will be to feel happy, joyous, and free!
One of my favorite questions is, "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" by Mary Oliver. I view therapy as a gift to yourself to create more meaningful experiences and develop resilience to overcome life's obstacles.
I began to pursue being a therapist because it is a source of healing and understanding and I want to help nurture that in others. I believe in paying it forward. There is a need to provide affordable and accessible mental health care. Therapy is a tool by which people can grow in the understanding of themselves and the world around them. IT is important to provide ethical and reliable care to those who want and need it. I try to guide the patient through the therapeutic experience by providing REST (Respect, Equality, Safety, and Trust.) This is one of the basic principles that I believe creates a healthy relationship. Come join me a safe space.

I believe I have 2 superpowers. One is listening and the other is being curious. These create a powerful amalgam for change when used with proven therapeutic tools. Change can be scary, but sometimes we take a step into the unknown in spite of our fear. I believe this is being brave. That is the step that can move you toward the change and understanding you want.
