About

My Background My own challenges and life experience have shaped me into the person and therapist I am today. There will always be opportunities to learn and grow and I look for those moments in my own life each day with hopefully more awareness than the day before. My role as a therapist is to individualize sessions to help you navigate challenges in your life so you can move forward while seeing, feeling, and noticing progress. It's important for me as a therapist to meet you where you are and tailor therapy to your needs in a supportive, compassionate and empathic way. I am active and engaging in the therapy to best collaborate with you to meet your needs, goals while also challenging you in moments to best assist you in working through issues and hardship. Who I Work With I work with clients trying to better understand themselves, patterns, and relationships. I specialize in supporting those struggling with: anxiety, depression, substance use and drinking, family, trauma, relational challenges, stages of life and uncertainty with the future while giving direct feedback and encouragement. Relationally, I help individuals and couples build emotional tolerance and an understanding of their own emotions, set healthy boundaries, advocate for their own needs, and learn effective communication skills. Seeking support is NOT a weakness. It shows courage and commitment to improve your life and work through challenges. Utilizing the resources and support around you is the path to reconnecting and moving forward rather than the loneliness and isolation of feeling like you have to do it all on our own. Therapy is an investment into your overall wellness as you strive to be the best version of yourself. Please feel free to email or call to schedule a free consultation/intro call so I can answer any questions you may have about therapy and my practice. I am also happy to provide any additional resources or referrals to best support you.
