Stressed out? Have crippling anxiety or depression? No one understands what you've been struggling with?I get it. I'll help you learn to cope, build confidence and make that change you want to see in your life. As an LMFT, I’ve spent over a decade seeing people at the lowest points of their lives, having suffered child abuse, violent relationships, depression & anxiety, drug addiction, and other hardships. I learned that so many of us feel alone, stuck, and misunderstood. Lets change that.

“Just tell me what I should do!” Are you struggling with a specific issue, relationship conflict(s), or feeling stuck in a rut? Seeking support when you recognize that you can’t keep doing the same thing over-and-over is a brave, admirable step. Having your own personal, dedicated support will help you uncover your inner strength. Together we can define new ways to help move through situations with healthier outcomes. We all have the answers within, sometimes it takes a different perspective to help you recognize what your strengths are. Allow me to be that someone who helps you see yourself more clearly to allow yourself to make healthier decisions. My approach is driven by you. You will receive tools and techniques unique to you and your stage of change. My goal is to help you achieve your goals and help identify the steps that will get you there. With over 14 years of experience, you will have someone that listens to you non-judgmentally, will offer suggestions (and sometimes homework!) to help you improve and move through tough obstacles. Remember, “The only way to get through it is to go through it!” I would be honored to support your journey.

We live in an increasingly isolated world in which we are convinced on all sides that connection, meaning, and value can be shipped, swiped-on, liked, and plugged into. Social Media's benefits have allowed for unprecedented world-wide connection, but often at the cost of the life experiences that cultivate self-knowledge, character, confidence, and purpose. This leaves many people feeling paradoxically lonely, anxious, depressed, and without a sense of self, meaning, or direction. The therapeutic space and relationship can be a wonderful place to explore what's missing or out of balance in your life. If this resonates with you, my practice might be able to address what you're looking for. With all its flaws, one reason I love the internet is that it has allowed me to collect wisdom from all over the world that helps all of us understand ourselves better. In sessions, I like to find a balance between exploring what's on your mind/heart (openly holding space and following where the conversation leads us) and offering relevant tools and empowering concepts. I've often heard something like, "Thank you for not just asking 'how do you feel about that?' and helping me feel like there's something I can do this week to feel better."
