About

Many of us struggle through the challenging times in life and seeking treatment is often a courageous first step towards change. My goal is to provide compassionate, trustworthy, and nonjudgmental support, as we partner together on a journey of coping, healing, and thriving. I believe the therapist-client relationship is most important, therefore I strive to establish an honest and warm working relationship with each client. In doing so, together we can then explore your relationships and other patterns in your life. That exploration leads to insights and understanding, geared toward discovering new ideas and finding solutions. For over 15 years I have worked with teens and adults looking for help with relationships, depression, anxiety, self esteem, trauma, LGBTQ and young adults/young professionals looking to strengthen their sense of self. I help people in emotional pain, difficult/confusing situations, those seeking a place to really talk, be heard and understood. There is often a stigma associated with seeking help in the mental health field and I understand the situations that may have led you here were not necessarily easy. Know that taking this step is not a sign of weakness, but actually a sign of significant courage and strength. I am here and look forward to taking the next step together with you. We all need a beacon of hope at times when the seas are tumultuous. I am here and look forward to taking the next step together with you. (I also offer clinical supervision for new social workers and counselors looking to go for their clinical license).
