You don’t have to figure everything out alone. If you're a teen or young adult feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in painful patterns, or carrying the weight of past experiences, therapy can be the place where you can be 100% authentically yourself, without worry of shame or judgment.
I specialize in working with teens and young adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. The idea of therapy can be scary, especially for teenagers, and I hear ya! I take pride in my ability to easily build rapport and lessen some of the initial "stress" that comes with sharing parts of your life with a stranger.

Many of us feel stuck, want more than just a quick, temporary fix and wish for a therapy experience that supports the possibility of long-term, lasting change. A lot of folks continue to be stuck despite their best effort. Some feel empty, depressed or detached; others feel easily overcome by emotion, unable to quiet their minds or ease the tension in their bodies. Many need help understanding what they want or need to live a more satisfying life. If you can relate to any of this, are looking for a specialist in healing complex trauma, or are interested in depth work, I'm here and may be able to help you get past this stuck place.

Why am I... the way I am? Sometimes that’s the hardest question to answer. If you're here, you've probably noticed something isn't the way it used to be. Maybe anxiety has become overwhelming, depression has drained your motivation, or you've found yourself feeling stuck without really knowing why. My goal is to help you better understand what's contributing to your struggles, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical tools for meaningful, lasting change. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and thoughtfully integrate Christian faith into therapy when desired.

We all have a story to tell. Sometimes it seems we get lost in the details and instead of being able to control how the story goes; we allow the story to detail our reality. After all, experience is a strong teacher, and it is a powerful enforcer when it comes to how individuals relate to everyday life. My goal as a counselor is to show clients how to take change into their own hands to tear down problematic scenarios and rebuild new stories that create a healthy home and atmosphere where they can reach their full potential of being a healthy, functional couple and/or family.

Each day it seems that life presents a new challenge, often causing us to question certain decisions that we have made or to consider new paths that we would like to explore. My goal is to gain a clear picture of each individual's needs, explore new and more effective ways of problem solving, and help each individual develop greater insight and growth. I believe the relational component of therapy is essential and serves at the foundation for establishing trust, compassion, empathy, and respect. I have expertise in working with individuals of all ages: children, adolescents, adults and families.

Therapy is a collaborative activity in which we work together in a safe environment to help you become a more satisfied version of yourself. My approach aims to partner with you to identify what challenges you have and unlock the potential within you to move beyond those roadblocks. I work with relationship and attachment wounds, as well as complex trauma and religious/spiritual abuse. I am also trained in both EMDR and IFS and often incorporate these into session as well. Partnering with you, we can work through challenges from the past to help you heal and become the person you want to be.

Reaching out is a meaningful first step— I am glad you are here. For me, therapy is about creating a genuine connection where we can talk openly, make sense of things and figure out what comes next based on what matters to you. After 25 years working in behavioral health with adults from many different backgrounds, I've learned there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I value genuine connection, collaboration and even a little humor when it fits the moment. I also understand that life doesn't always follow the plan we had in mind and sometimes we need support navigating the chapters we didn't expect.
