My desire is to help you know and understand yourself deeply, find healing from the past, and move from a place of "stuckness" to living a rich and meaningful life. I work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship issues, and poor self-image. I have extensive experience treating complex trauma and substance abuse, and as a Certified DBT Therapist, I specialize in treating Borderline Personality Disorder. I'm also a Certified Religious Trauma Specialist. I believe that one of the most underrated experiences is loss, including the end of significant relationships. I can help you navigate the grief, find meaning in the loss, and build hope moving forward. I believe that change best happens when we learn to accept where we are while simultaneously challenging ourselves to do better. My desire is to accept you wholly as you are, without judgement.

Do you sometimes feel sad or hopeless but can't seem to 'break out of it'? Is self-doubt or low self-esteem keeping you from setting and achieving your goals? Are your relationships suffering but you can't put your finger on it? Most of us have been there. I create a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to express, explore and process their fears, doubts, negative thoughts and experiences. Healing and recovery is not a linear process. It is not scripted. It requires some work on your part and I am here to support you along the way. I specialize in treating trauma. Whether its childhood trauma, relationship trauma or a recent occurrence, it still has an impact on your life. I'm here to support you with your recovery. I work with individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family issues. I am excited for you to break free from the chains that are holding you back from being your best self!

You have taken the first step and you are here. Let's get started! I am highly motivated and compassionate about providing safe and realistic therapy designed to meet your needs. As a therapist who believes that therapy should help you in real life. I want us to work together to thrive instead of just surviving. My practice is designed to include all walks of life such as professionals, stay-at-home parents, teens and adolescents, entrepreneurs students, family, friends or someone who seeks direction and personal management. Therapy should be non-judgemental, helpful, and affirming. I look forward to hearing from you so we can begin your therapy journey that aligns with your future! Are you still having doubts? It is okay! Let's do something about it! Are you ready for the next step? If so, select a time below that aligns with our schedules!
