If you've found yourself here, it's likely you're struggling to navigate where you're at in life right now. Whether you're questioning your identity, struggling to feel comfortable in your own skin, trudging through the days despite anxiety looming overhead, or just feeling like your life has been jolted, it's clear that something feels "off." If you're looking for a safe space to make sense of what you're going through, find tools to cope and communicate, and create a positive change in your life, you've found the right place.

I believe change happens when we’re able to have compassion for ourselves and the situations we are in. A major component of my counseling is collaboration with clients – I enjoy working in the area where my knowledge and your experiences meet to create a plan for change that will best fit you. My first goal is always to make sure YOU feel comfortable. I engage with humor, warmth, and validation for your unique life experiences to build trust in our therapeutic relationship. I approach your concerns through a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), emotionally focused therapy (EFT), and family systems therapy to create a custom and collaborative plan to reach your individual and/or relationship goals. While changing the patterns we've known for years can be challenging, I'm here to give you a safe space to explore what else life has to offer.
