You’re the kind of person who has always pushed forward, no matter what. On the outside, you’re accomplished, driven, and maybe even the one others turn to for support. But inside, there’s a weight—one you’ve carried for far too long. Maybe it’s the echoes of childhood trauma, painful relationships, or the deep wounds of sexual trauma. You’ve done your best to move on, but the past still lingers— you’re not broken, healing is possible; I look forward to helping you reclaim your future!
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.

I work primarily with clients who struggle with symptoms related to anxiety, depression, PTSD, and substance use disorders. I also work especially well with clients who have childhood and family relationship trauma, relationship issues, and adult children of immature/unwell/addicted parents. I work with clients 18-65, I have loved practicing therapy with adults from many different walks of life. Ideally, clients I work with are interested in learning, skills-based therapy and intensive therapy
I don't really have a particular population I focus on. I want to work with everybody! That said, I have a great deal of experience with adults with persistent and severe mental illness, adolescents with oppositional and defiant behavior, and clients seeking help from their local psychiatrist. I start every session with "Tell me what's going on with you. What can I do to help?" Then we go from there. I end every session with "Was that helpful?" I haven't heard "No" yet.
Thank you for choosing to explore a new way of tackling life’s challenges. Reaching out can be an overwhelming step. It is important to remember that you possess more bravery than you realize and more strength than you feel. Your courage is greater than you might imagine. I reject the notion of a one-size-fits all approach and instead focus on exploring ideas and thoughts to create a plan that is tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. We will work together for positive change.
