As an LPC I offer a large scope of services rooted in evidence based practices. For those who have experienced marginalization and oppression, you and all of your identities are welcome into my office. I am a direct and respectful therapist. Engage in the therapeutic process with me for an experience towards growth, change, and honesty with yourself.

I know that starting with a new clinician can be scary at first but I am here to meet you where you are. I truly believe that healing starts when a patient feels heard and that they can trust their provider. I want this to be a journey we go on together. I value your input and will use that information to best design a plan together that will provide you with the most success so that you can live the best and most full life.

I believe a strong provider-patient relationship is pivotal to successful outcomes, and is built on compassionate, open communication. My goal is for us to work together to collaborate in creating the best course of treatment for you. I want to help set you up for success to improve your overall quality of life.

Lets be present together. I am enthusiastically passionate about mental health, brain development, and the brain-body connections. I practice a client centered therapeutic approach integrating a variety of evidence-based
techniques, primarily pulling from CBT, mindfulness, existentialism, and radical acceptance. I like to integrate breathwork, emotional regulation, and meditation with the clients who are interested in the practice.

Psychotherapy is aimed to help a person deal with specific issues. Whether it be develop coping skills or enhance interpersonal relationships or manage symptoms I can assist will any of these.

My colleagues would consider me direct, and I am comfortable with this. Therapy does not have a linear progression. I think anyone willing to do the work in their own mental health is a good place to start. I am available to help anyone interested in seeking more insight to themselves.

I hope that clients will take the time to invest in themselves and I encourage them to begin the journey with me knowing that although this can be scary and vulnerable, that I am a safe place to explore with and we can build
along the way.

Are you tired of feeling down, anxious, unsure, and stuck in your head? Maybe, at the same time, you wish people would get you are trying your best. Do you wish people who don't get you would stop trying to tell you how to be? As a white, cis-gendered, female maybe I cannot always relate but I will strive as your therapist to put myself in your shoes to help you find your roots and grow in the direction you want to take your life. I specialize in therapy for depression, anxiety, trauma, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

I have many years of experience as a therapist and have worked in a variety of settings with adults and adolescents providing individual therapy, group therapy, family counseling, and case management.  I aim to empower and support individuals to make positive changes in their life by navigating through challenges together and providing the tools and support along the way. I aim to assist the individual in identifying and addressing a variety of psychosocial difficulties, foster behavioral changes that lead to a better quality of life, to further develop the whole person, and to provide crisis management.
