It's my opinion (and research supports this) that building supportive spaces where individuals can explore their authentic selves and change unhelpful patterns is the most effective way to do therapy. I support the well-being of adults and adolescents experiencing overwhelming emotions, challenging histories, and complex mental health problems. All too often we trade expressing our genuine selves for safety, which can lead to blame, resentment, anxiety, and inexplicable grief.

It is important that we all feel seen and heard; we need that more than ever before. We need spaces created for us to heal wounds developed from adverse and traumatic experiences.

Our clients set goals aimed toward building a healthy & happy life, free from abuse. We specialize in identifying and navigating toxic and abusive relationships. We help survivors of abuse process their experiences in a healthy way. We provide education about abusive personalities, targets of abuse, abusive relationships and recovery from abuse. Our counselors are trained on the topics of narcissistic abuse, psychopathic personalities and C-PTSD.
Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Have you been holding it all together for far too long? Maybe you have different faces you show each part of your world and none of them really feel right anymore. You might be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression or have trauma that has gone unaddressed. And, you're looking for a place to put all of that down. To figure out how the what worked in the past to survive is keeping you from the life you want to live. To live into who you are in a more real and authentic manner.
My experience is with adolescents and adults coping with social anxiety disorder, phobias, other anxiety disorders, depression, adjustment difficulties, stress management challenges, life transitions, exploration of career changes, school challenges, issues related to dating/relationships, and perfectionistic tendencies. I have experience coordinating mental health care nation wide. My clients value my ability to "be real" when change needs to happen. I'm here to help you. Let's do this!
Are you feeling overwhelmed, have difficulties focusing, continuously put others before yourself, lacking confidence or often have thoughts of comparison? These challenges often impact self-esteem and self worth, which may contribute to increased anxiety or depression. I work with individuals struggling with ideas of perfectionism.
We continually seek to provide a safe and affirming experience for all marginalized persons, particularly those who trans, nonbinary, queer, and/or BIPOC. We are passionate about providing services for people who might not otherwise feel comfortable seeking therapy or who might not otherwise have access to it.

Are you feeling sad, lacking energy, and feeling like something is wrong all of the time? Has your mood been up and down and you've found it As a client you will have a comfortable safe space to share freely without judgment. You can discuss substance use and if and why that might have increased for you recently. You can discuss any recent stressful life changes resulting in increased anxiety or depression. You can talk about sadness, fear, regret, and the feelings of all shapes and sizes.
Are you tired of a life disconnected from your authentic self and deepest desires? Do you find yourself burdened by overpowering emotions? Do inexplicable physical discomforts trouble you? My clients often identify as perfectionists, grappling with anxiety, depression, or loneliness. Yet, they possess a remarkable creative spark. Whether overachievers or prone to procrastination, their common trait is empathy, yet capacity to feel deeply sometimes leads to shame.
I specialize in individual and couples/relationship therapy for adults, addressing concerns such as anxiety, stress, eating/body image, trauma, relationship issues, identity development/exploration, and life transitions. Our identities, lived experiences, and environment are crucial to understanding who we are. My aim is to empower you, encouraging you to embrace authenticity and be your truest self. I'll meet you where you are and offer supportive challenges as we work towards your goals.
Are you always a little on edge? Responding to your environment subconsciously, rapidly and what seemingly appears to be unprovoked? Trouble connecting to your peers socially - a perpetuating feeling of isolation and low morale or empathy? Maybe, you have trouble figuring out why you respond and interact with the world in the ways you do leading one to feel disconnected and untethered. My eclectic approaches help to build insight and deactivate nervous system responses!

If you're looking for therapy for yourself, or for you & your partner, I can help! We all experience challenges, stresses, and obstacles that can leave us feeling stuck, confused, or lost. I believe in creating a fully accepting space for you to openly share the challenges that you may be facing, to help you gain a greater sense of self control, authenticity and clarity within your life. We all have the capacity to transform our own lives, sometimes we just need a little help discovering how.
Are you ready to hear hard truths about yourself, engage in uncomfortable conversations, and come to terms with difficult realities? Ready to break out of the boxes that limit your ability to reach full potential and live a fulfilled life? Is your relationship boring, fractured, or come to an end and you're having to co-parent? Are you engaged and looking for a robust premarital experience? I work with individuals and couples in all of these areas in both secular and spiritual realms.
If you have ADHD, you're not broken—although it may often feel that way. If you're a neurodivergent (ND) person who has spent years trying to function the way neurotypical (NT) people do, you know that a lot of the advice you receive doesn’t seem to work. It's hard to solve ND problems using NT solutions. I can help you learn more about your ADHD patterns, identify areas in your life where ADHD is most challenging, and teach you effective strategies & techniques for managing your challenges.
Have you hit a wall? Do you feel like everything you have tried isn't working? Sometimes we get so overwhelmed by our situation that it's hard to fathom any solution. My role is to be the neutral party that can objectively look at your struggle and help you develop the tools you need to reach a resolution. My ideal clients reflect on our discussions between sessions, engage in behavior change, have a sense of humor, and are willing to do the work.
