Struggling with a problem or relationship? Tired of feeling the same way and repeating the same old patterns? Need more self confidence or want to feel more hopeful about your future? Helping you cope with stressors, navigating difficult transitions, and providing guidance in which you can feel more in control of your life is a key focus of my therapy. Through my goal oriented approach, I help clients find the tools and discover coping strategies to feel better and strengthen their supports. I have expertise in working with individuals, marriages/couples, parents, and families

You’ve thought about therapy, but you hear a voice inside that is hesitant. It asks, "Will they judge my sexual orientation, my gender identity, my dating life, my choices, or my views on faith? Will they see me as an entire person with a complex web of interests, hopes, and desires; or will they just see me as my presenting problems? Will they work with me to reach creative solutions; or will they just label me with a diagnosis and try to ‘fix’ me with a workbook?” You deserve a therapist who celebrates your individuality, who views YOU as the expert of your own experience, and who honors the unique parts of your life.

Seeking clarity? Therapy can allow you to identify and remove blocks inhibiting change, help you make more intentional choices by offering deeper awareness of your perspective, and/or help you construct coherency or a different view of issues that are plaguing you. While I enjoy working with clients of varying backgrounds and ages (and all are welcome in my practice), I specialize in working with those who are suffering from anxiety, trauma, complex trauma, sex- and sexuality-related concerns, and who are aged 15+. You can expect me to be observant, empathic, professional, ethical, responsive, and LGBTQ+ affirming.

Everyone needs help overcoming obstacles from time to time. I offer compassionate therapy services for those who have concerns in many areas, including life changes, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I am EMDR therapy trained which is helpful for those who have experienced trauma, and those who are interested in learning how past experiences affect them today.

Feeling as though you haven't processed a difficult time? Are you seeking support without feeling as though you need to censor yourself? Let's work together to help you find the peace you desire. I will not ask you to do anything I wouldn’t do. I’m laid-back and I do not give up easily on those I serve. I am a natural optimist and assess all positives. Knowing what happened to you is important and necessary, but I don’t believe there’s something wrong with you. If you can't believe this for yourself yet, I'll believe it for you until you do.

I enjoy working with all client types, but take a particular interest in working together with women to help in the process of building and furthering their individual level of internal strength, confidence and empowerment. Working with family systems, parenting coaching, and partners dealing with divorce or separation is also a passion of mine.

Have you been feeling stuck lately? Do you feel a little numb and unfulfilled? Overwhelmed and panicking? Totally shut down? Running up against the same barriers over and over and getting tired of feeling stuck in the same patterns?

When I meet a new client, I like to acknowledge that therapy is a courageous choice. Our first meeting is a time for me to learn why you reached out and what kind of change you are seeking. It is also a time for you to learn how you feel about me! If you return, then ongoing therapy sessions will consist of evidence-based practices that are specific to your goals and needs. We will measure and record your progress, so that you can make informed decisions about what works for you. Some people remain in therapy indefinitely because they like the ongoing support, while others exit after succeeding toward a specific, time-limited goal.

Now Accepting New Clients I believe that you know your life best and that I am here as a companion as we move towards growth. I work collaboratively with my clients, holding compassion and my client's needs at the center of our work. I enjoy working with late adolescents and adults. I specialize in issues such as anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship struggles, exploring sexual orientation/expression, religious trauma, and those in the LGBTQIA+ community. My job as a therapist is to support, engage with empathy and wonder, offer hope, and acknowledge the stories and experiences clients express as they reflect.

I work primarily with adolescents and adults. I believe people, at different points in their lives, may need support overcoming hurdles or may just be feeling "stuck."

I value my work as a psychologist and approach each client with respect for their own unique identity and the concerns they seek therapy for.

Do you feel yourself powerless in the face of strong emotions and spiraling thoughts? I can guide you to learn how to accept all parts of yourself, the "wanted" as well as the "unwanted" and gain a productive distance from thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Are you feeling fragmented by competing demands that leave you feeling unfulfilled? I can help you discover your own values and help you create actions plans that are in line with your core values.
