About

Thank you for taking the first step and being here. Are you experiencing hurdles in life such as work stress, family issues, or relationship difficulties/issues? Do you suffer from anxiety, depression, trauma or grief? Do you often find it difficult to find the words to describe your feelings? Or to open up to people and feel a connection with them? Most likely, you've answered yes to at least one of these areas of concern. You are not alone; in the emotions, experiences, and pain that come with life. I believe that every person who seeks counseling has their own answers to their unique situations and my job is to facilitate finding those answers. My style is relational and collaborative, respecting your pace and autonomy in therapy. Given that we are all multi-dimensional beings, I am committed to understanding the ways your unique identities and roles shape your experiences. As you gain comfort sharing yourself, vulnerably. I have nearly 19 years of experience and specialize in grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, phase of life issues, peer relationships, coping skills, stress identification and reduction, trauma, and women's issues. I look forward to working together!
