Everyone can improve and succeed regardless of any struggles or trauma a person may encounter. I aim to help clients heal past traumas, strengthen relationships with themselves and others, work through difficult emotions, and find their inner strength. I believe inherently in the resiliency of the human spirit. We have the power to recover, to heal, to grow and to learn. My goal is to help you understand the problems that you are facing, and allow you the space to solve them so that you may transform into the best version of yourself.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, with an M.S. in Counseling Education, and more than 15 years of mental health experience. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults of all ages with a variety of mental health and life challenges, including (but not limited to) depression, anxiety, anger, relationship issues, trauma, addictions, divorce, and grief. My previous work experience includes inpatient and outpatient behavioral health and addiction treatment settings, as well as community-based and crisis work.

Therapy is a collaborative process that allows one to be fully seen and deeply heard. I believe that the most important factor in therapy is the relationship we share. I will work hard to create a space where you can feel safe, heard and supported – but also challenged. I balance warmth and compassion with authenticity and a direct communication style. Together we will explore the obstacles that you are facing and I will assist you in developing new ways to overcome them. We can take it as slowly as you need, or we can attack the problem head-on. I’m here to follow your lead.
