"If my aim is to prove I am enough, the project goes on to infinity; because the battle was already lost on the day I conceded the issue was debatable." ~Nathaniel Branden. As an experiential therapist, I "name the elephant in the room" & help clients navigate obstacles denying them pure joy in living. I work with clients to get out of their own way, embrace their power, choose "gutz over fear," & not let their worst enemy be between their own two ears. My clients learn the power & responsibility of choice, self-compassion when self-esteem fails, respect in accountability, grace when failing forward, and celebration & love of self.

A warm welcome to you for exploring the path to sound mind, body and spirit. I support clients seeking healing in the realms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, identity development, transforming negative beliefs, and low self-esteem. Clients of all identities and worldviews are welcomed in my office. I use experiential and creative approaches based on my belief that each client requires a engaging, bespoke experience for their unique array of life experiences. Those who value open-mindedness, instinctual empathy, and a zest for learning in their counselor will find me to be a good fit. I'm honored to help you lead an intentional life!

I am an Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC013793) and EMDR Trained Clinician specializing in working with women on trauma recovery, anxiety, self-esteem, identity development, life transitions, and relationship concerns. I am inspired by helping women recognize their worthiness through the healing of past wounds and the strengthening of their authentic voices.

Where are you going? Do you feel stuck in your relationship, wondering what to do next, or mired in low self-esteem? I believe that starting therapy and examining your journey is a brave step in making your life the one you deserve. You are the only one who can enact change in your life - but a therapist to walk with you, support you, and guide you, can help. Life is too short to be ruled by emotional pain, fear, and limiting beliefs. You'll find that I'm approachable, down to earth, and welcome humor in sessions.

Couples (both married and unmarried) experiencing relational issues including communication, trust issues and even those considering separation or divorce. Additionally, I work with engaged couples in providing premarital counseling. I also work with musicians and entertainers experiencing "creative blocks" and looking to deal with feelings of depression, performance anxiety, and self-esteem issues. Lastly, I work with high profile individuals such as pastors, physicians and corporate executives with high pressure careers.

My counseling style can be described as warm, empathetic, and accepting. Perhaps you come to therapy with a specific concern and goal in mind or maybe you are seeking counseling due to a general feeling of being stuck and unsatisfied. Whatever issue prompts you to seek help, therapy can provide an intentional place to pause, process emotions, and find clarity about what you need. I have a special passion for working with adults experiencing stress and anxiety and those prone to perfectionism and people-pleasing. Often in my work with clients, we explore the need to honor one's sense of self and establish healthy boundaries.

Are you having a hard time finding joy in your life? As human beings we all face different challenges that may lead us to seek growth and healing. Therapy is a place where you learn to grieve, take an honest look at your relationship, evaluate your feelings with work and those around you. My goal as a therapist is to help you accomplish your goals, process trauma, practice compassion towards yourself and others, live free, and understand yourself and those around you.

I specialize in helping girls and women struggling with stress, anxiety, perfectionism, past trauma, self-esteem, and life transitions. I believe the better we understand ourselves, the better we get at making conscious choices. Gaining insight into the "why" and "how" we operate can help us cultivate self-compassion for where we've been and find the courage to do things differently. Many clients who come to work with me identify as overwhelmed high-achievers on the brink of burnout or misunderstood big feelers needing skills and support.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor who is trauma-informed, strengths-focused and enjoys bringing humor and creativity into the therapy room. My aim is to create a supportive, open space where I work with clients collaboratively to create goals for treatment and empower clients towards living a life where they find meaning and purpose. I provide clients with skills towards accepting thoughts and emotions, learning how to manage challenging emotions, finding peace in the present moment, resolving trauma responses and difficult memories.

As a therapist specializing in both young children and young adult women, I recognize the unique challenges each group faces. For children aged 7 to 11, struggles with self-esteem, sadness, friendships, and school can be overwhelming. They may retreat inward when distressed, making it hard for parents to connect. Moreover, the burden of worrying excessively about others’ opinions can drown out their voices. Parents, while supportive, often find themselves unsure of how best to help. In my practice, I specialize in Play Therapy and Child-Centered approaches, offering a safe environment for children to explore their emotions.

I would like to offer support for those who are struggling with life's problems and in need of healing but have found it difficult to reach out for help. I am passionate about working with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, drug and alcohol abuse, sex and porn addiction, bullying and low self-esteem, spiritual issues, grief and trauma recovery. I also have experience working with couples and families and enjoy seeing the healing that can occur in relationships through counseling. I see clients both in person and online.

My passion is working with kids (10+), teenage girls, and young adult women facing challenges such as anxiety, sports performance, life changes, friendship struggles, depression, self-esteem, and perfectionistic tendencies. The clients I support are high-achieving, motivated, and goal-driven individuals who are often silently struggling on the inside. My goal is to assist clients in developing the skills and mindsets necessary to reach their full potential. I support my clients by offering them unconditional encouragement while building upon their strengths and talents.
