“People have no idea that I’m really falling apart on the inside.”... “I feel like this world wasn’t built for me, and it’s so hard to figure out how to stay afloat.”...“I’m so overwhelmed all the time.”...“I’m doing my best, but it never feels good enough.” You aren't alone in any of these feelings. I hear you, and I am here for you. I take a primarily strengths-based approach that focuses on getting to know you. I am affirming of all identities, and I welcome any identity exploration. I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable to be yourself. My goal is to support you with individualized approaches so that you can be the most fulfilled in your life. I am passionate about helping the queer community, anyone who believes they may be neurodivergent, or anyone struggling with anxiety or perfectionism.

It's daunting to share your true self with someone. Perhaps you are still seeking your true self and have found yourself here, wondering if I might be able to help you. I want to walk with you towards authentic living. The way I view therapy is a bit like an art form. Everyone who walks by a painting will see something different, but it is the artist who holds the greatest knowledge about what that piece of art means. You are a unique individual and I am interested in understanding who you are. My greatest hope for my clients is that they can be seen, heard, and known by me. What kind of art can we create together? Together with my clients, we unearth the essence of their story. We identify patterns, organize the details, and analyze the characters. This process is exceptional, it is a journey, and it can be the adventure of a lifetime. Through this, we discover understanding, recognition, truth, and serenity. If you feel ready to begin the journey with me, give me a call or send a message. You deserve to be seen for all that you are.

I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or transitional stages in their life. During our sessions together, we will look deeply into underlying causes of anxiety, stress, depression, and anything limiting your potential. Together we will examine your unique patterns and beliefs to address your anxiety, depression, or trauma.

“I feel lost and stuck in my life.” “I often feel unheard or misunderstood.” “My efforts never seem to be enough.” “I struggle to reconcile my faith with my identity.” “I carry the weight of past trauma every day.” “Sometimes everything just feels like too much.” These are just a few of the things I have heard from clients who are grappling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. If you recognize yourself in any of these statements, know that you are not alone and that I would be glad to help you navigate these challenges. My specialties include working with those facing anxiety & depression, spirituality and faith related trauma, women’s issues, and LGBTQ+ issues. I understand the profound impact these struggles can have on your life and am here to help. I use narrative therapy and CBT techniques to collaborate with you on reframing your story and moving towards deep healing. My approach is rooted in authenticity, holistic care, and compassion, ensuring that your story is heard and valued. If you are ready to embark on a journey of healing and growth, reach out today. I am here to walk beside you on your unique journey and help you to meet your therapeutic goals. Call or email me to set up your free 15- minute consultation.

“I feel lost and alone.” “No one truly understands me.” “There is a disconnect between who I am and who I want to be.” These thoughts may feel overwhelming, but there is hope.

In therapy, I prioritize a person-centered approach by listening deeply to my clients to better understand their unique goals. Whether beginning therapy or returning to therapy after a hiatus, I aim to cultivate an environment in which empathy, compassion, and authenticity are woven throughout the therapeutic space. I believe that intersectionality plays a critical role in identity, and I am affirming of all LGBTQIA+ and cultural identities. Through collaboration, I am passionate about supporting my clients to achieve their goals and empowering them to live more authentically.
