When life is hard, individual counseling can make a world of difference.
Whether you feel stuck, overwhelmed, confused, or are grieving, you can get the support you need. I will help you face your struggles with courage, compassion, and integrity. I can help you understand and navigate your relationships with others and with yourself.
Individual therapy provides one on one care in a judgment free environment.
You have a chance to unload the stuff that has been weighing you down and to look through the important pieces with someone who is trained and supportive.
I’m a firm believer that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to therapy and in keeping with that belief, my sessions are uniquely tailored to each individual. Each session is rooted in elements of client-centered and narrative therapeutic approaches which are designed to aide my clients in not only uncovering more of who they are in the present, but also, who they are striving to become in the future. While I recognize the power of exploring one’s inner world, it is also essential to recognize how external forces can shape our attitudes, beliefs, and feelings. In my practice, I may integrate principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy to increase my client’s awareness of negative thinking patterns or unsupportive dynamics so that they may make the changes necessary to lead a more enriching and fulfilling life. It would be my pleasure to be a source of support through your journey to self discovery.
Psychotherapy provides a space for us to acquire insight and clarity, create new priorities, and gain the courage to change. I am committed to walk alongside you to find restoration in areas of your life that are distressed.

My Specialties
Anxiety
Generalized anxiety can be a frustrating problem. If you find yourself worrying excessively, you probably feel like your mind starts racing and nothing you do can slow it down. Anxiety is the body’s response to stress, and occasional anxiety is to be expected. However, if your anxiety is negatively impacting your normal level of functioning, it may be time to seek additional support. I would like to work alongside you on your journey of healing and try to help you see that there can be a way forward.
Depression
OCD
There are few problems in life that cause as much suffering as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Many people mistakenly believe that OCD simply refers to people who like to keep things orderly, neat or clean but there are many different presentations of OCD. It may be very difficult to talk about your obsessions and you likely try to hide your compulsive behaviors from others. Be hopeful- it’s more common than you think. You CAN improve and manage your obsessions and compulsions.
Relationship Issues
Relationships are a huge part of our lives. From the moment we’re born, we’re connected to others in the world. Therapy can help you understand and improve experiences with those close to you including partners, family members, coworkers and friends. Quality relationships DO take work! Even people whose families and relationships look “perfect” experience struggle and have to put in the effort to be meaningful and lasting. But just because it’s effort, doesn’t mean it’s a chore.
Sexual Identity
Sexual feelings and attractions can change naturally for many people over the course of their lives. Maybe who you find yourself intrigued by or interested in is not the same as who you were previously attracted to. Maybe you’re completely unsure about where you fit in the sea of identity options and want a space to explore and possibly figure things out. Coming to know your own feelings and thoughts about your identity is a highly personal experience but I also believe that having support from an empathetic and affirming counselor can be incredibly helpful along the way.
Self-Esteem
Feeling insecure can be quite painful on a daily basis. Low self-esteem is a behavioral and thought pattern in which an individual lacks self-confidence and a healthy sense of self-regard. Symptoms of low self-esteem vary from person to person, and no two cases of low self-esteem are entirely alike. Therapy can help you understand the causes of these symptoms and regain or gain a sense of self-confidence.
Trauma
Traumatic experiences can affect many areas of an individual’s life and can create extremely powerful and painful emotional experiences. There is no limit to what may cause trauma, and it all depends on your subjective experience. Therapy is an effective and long-lasting treatment for trauma and PTSD. You might feel some anxiety about the idea of starting this work, and that’s understandable. We will work together to move at your speed.
Life Transitions
“Life is hard.” “Life is unfair.” “Life just gets in the way.” We have all heard these sayings at times and we’re all tired of the phrase: just look at the glass as half full. Major life changes may alter our perspective on life and our perception of reality. This can profoundly affect our mental, emotional, and social well-being. Stress, anxiety, and depression can blur your ability to observe situations objectively, putting you in a conscious state of reacting rather than responding. Counseling can help you navigate and learn new tools to help you grow into the next phase of your life.
Career Issues
Trying to decide what to do with your life and nothing feels quite right? Effective career counseling provides you with clarity and direction about the specific actions to take today that will help you create the successful future you deserve. Career counseling can help sort things out and empower you to live a life you love. A life where you can earn the living you deserve, make a lasting impact, and be excited about every day!
