I enjoy working with adults of all backgrounds and seek to create a warm, open, and non-judgmental space for each person I work with. I believe that no matter how complex and confusing life's issues may appear, there is always the opportunity for growth, healing and understanding. I look forward to collaborating with you and building with you!

My own experience engaging in therapy as teen experiencing grief and loss was difficult and empowering. It inspired me to pursuing helping others as a career. You're the expert of your life, and I am glad to be your support and partner in the journey.

A former patient of mine told me to tell every new patient this, "It's hard work - but it's worth it in the end." I couldn't agree more!

I hope my clients know that, though I am a professional counselor, I am - at my core - another human being hoping to help them through whatever they need support with. Therapy doesn't need to be scary, and I'm here to hold space so you can feel safe to share.

While serving in the military I saw the need for more attention to mental and emotional health through the ineffective and destructive ways many of my peers were coping with stress.

I'm open-minded, non-judgmental and want to learn each patient's story. I want all of my clients to know that therapy is a unique experience for every individual that is not one-size-fits all, and is a journey of overcoming.

I became a therapist because I got help for my own struggles, and I wanted to help others. I believe what we put into therapy sessions is what we get in return. Clients find that I'm straight-forward and honest, and I want everyone to know that there is nothing to be ashamed of in therapy.  It is a learning and problem solving process that we go through together.

My approach to care is a person-centered, integrative, collaborative partnership between myself and the pt. It's an honor to work with anyone navigating painful experiences, and I've worked closely with Veterans, severely ill and injured active duty soldiers, and hospice care.

I pursued mental health due to the stigma attached to seeking therapy within my community. However, I have furthered my “why” since becoming a mother. I realize the overarching need for improvement in mental health for mothers. Mental health services should be integrated in OB/GYN offices and in hospitals.

I want therapy to feel easy and supportive even when it's hard. My approach to therapy is conversational with a unique means of 'sneaking in' therapy without emphasis, allowing the patient space to have a-ha moments.

I want to be part of the solution that bridges the gap to ensure all are being supported and given the opportunity for mental wellness.

You are not alone in this. Seeking help does not mean that you are 'crazy." It just means that you know that something's happening in your brain and body, and you may not have the energy or understanding to get yourself through it alone. Help is available.

I like to meet each patient where they are and to help them resolve their issues/concerns and get them to where they'd like to be in life. I have been providing social work services to people for about 30 years and really enjoy helping people achieve their goals.
