I specialize in co-occurring disorders (mental health and chemical health) and trauma-informed practices. With previous work experience in a variety of settings, I currently serve a broad spectrum of adult individuals.
“The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the second-best time is today!” It is both a passion and a privilege to be invited into people's lives and relationships, and to help them become better versions of themselves and better connected to themselves and those they love. I work with couples who feel disconnected in their relationships to help them find their way back to each other. I also help individuals who are in a difficult season of life find their way back to themselves.
As a dedicated therapist, I have the privilege of working with diverse clients in an online setting. My approach is rooted in empathy, active listening, and evidence-based techniques. Whether supporting adults through life transitions, helping children improve their emotional regulation, or fostering stronger connections in couples, I am committed to facilitating growth and healing. Together, we navigate challenges, celebrate progress, and create a safe space for transformation.
I believe there is always hope for any situation and believe we all have the answers inside of us, we just need to learn to access those answers. We can work together to address the difficulties you may be experiencing and work toward positive, satisfying and lasting change.
I believe people have the inherent ability to connect to their best selves if given good tools, opportunities & have the motivation to do the work. I believe it's important to provide as many tools as possible for clients to use on their own. I am active & direct in therapy while also providing empathy & support. I love working with couples & families because the ripple effect of creating positive, healthy relationships is huge & can extend for generations.
I understand that reaching out to a therapist and starting therapy can be challenging and scary. I'm here to validate your feelings and help you discover your personal goals and teach you techniques to cope with all of lifes stressors- whether that be job stress, trouble in relationships, family history/trauma, or any other "stuff" that's stopping you from being your best self. Sometimes life gets in the way, and I'm here to help with all of that.
