Whether you are new to therapy or have previously attended therapy sessions before, please know that I am eager to work with you and help you to the best of my ability. My goal is to create a safe environment for you to explore and process varying emotions, experiences, and stages of your life.
I’ve been in private practice for almost 20 years. Something that sets me apart from a lot of other therapists is my strong commitment to having a good match between therapist and client. If I’m not the right match, I will try and help you find someone who is. I work collaboratively with my clients to form a relationship that feels supportive, while at the same time, helping to stretch their capacity in whatever area(s) they may be wanting to work on. I am warm and kind and non-judgmental, and also very honest and real.
As a licensed psychologist, I’m used to working collaboratively with patients to identify complex issues and set goals in a meaningful way. I specialize in helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion and understanding. My approach is built on creating a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable exploring your concerns, whether you're managing anxiety, navigating parenting struggles, or dealing with fertility challenges. I also work with men who may feel uneasy about therapy, providing a safe space to identify coping skills and address issues such as communication difficulties or complex relationships. With a focus on enhancing communication skills and improving performance, I help my clients build healthier, more fulfilling lives by tackling the issues that may be holding them back. Whether you're seeking to reduce stress, improve relationships, improve professionally or simply get more out of life, I am here to guide you through the process with empathy, insight, and practical solutions. Together, we can create lasting change and work towards a brighter and more fulfilling life.

College can feel exciting and overwhelming at the same time.

I believe the therapy process involves forming a relationship with someone who you can share with and trust. A third party who wont judge you, or share/gossip your most intimate secrets or life struggles with others. It's nice having friends and or family to share with, but that isn't always an option, nor is it always safe. I provide my clients with an environment free from judgement where you can let your guard down, vent, share and just be you. Therapy doesn't mean there's something wrong with you, it means you're ready to grow and better understand yourself, others and hopefully life. Isn't that what we're all striving for?

I specialize in working with women and teens who have endured trauma. Trauma can cause you to feel stuck, hinder your relationships, and your ability to function in daily life activities. I want to help you change that. I will help you sort out the pieces, find healing, and find yourself again. I can also provide a faith based perspective to therapy if you desire that. Being a therapist and getting to hold space for people in their most broken moments is one of the greatest honors of my life. Every person’s story is one-of-a-kind, and that means your care should be too! When we team up, think of us as partners on this adventure together. I want you to feel heard, respected, and comfortable enough to share what's on your mind. I'll be here to listen, to nudge you out of your comfort zone when needed, and to cheer you on every step of the way. We’ll kick things off with an introductory session, where you get to tell your story and share what you’re hoping to achieve in therapy. Don’t worry – we’ll figure it out together! My goal is to create a cozy, welcoming space where you feel safe enough to open up, be vulnerable, and still feel grounded. After that, we'll roll up our sleeves and dive into making your goals a reality, one session at a time.
