About

Are you feeling stuck or wanting change, but are not sure where to start? Does it feel like things are going well, but you aren't feeling content? Maybe you often question your choices and consider yourself an "overthinker". Are you going through a significant life transition or dealing with loss? I work with clients on job stress, chronic illness, grief, relationship issues, and more. I want to support you in reaching your goals and increasing your ability to handle the stressors in your life. You can make the necessary changes and find success, allow me to help you create the steps towards the life you want to live. I work with adults and older teens and have training and experience in working with the LGBTQIA+ community. If you wonder about the effect of adverse life experiences, we can utilize EMDR to help you process traumatic memories and move forward. I use an "Adaptive" approach to tailor treatment for each individual. I believe therapy should be an engaging and collaborative process where you are an active participant and I am supporting you in the journey. You have been navigating for too long in a life that is not bringing you joy. Reach out to schedule a consultation and allow me to help you begin focusing on yourself and making changes to support your goals. Credentials & Experience: I chose to become an LICSW because social work teaches you to provide therapy that addresses the "whole person" and the systems around them.
