I often work with those who feel stuck—whether in their thoughts, emotions, or behaviors—but open to exploring new ways of approaching life’s difficulties. You might feel exhausted from trying to control everything or overwhelmed by uncertainty. Maybe you’re seeking relief from distress but also want deeper insight into yourself and lasting change, not just a temporary fix.
I'm open to a variety of client populations and issues. I like to work with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Perhaps they need guidance on a particular issue, such as a change in their environment or family dynamics, or need to make peace in a relationship. No matter the reason, I'm willing to help. I understand transitions can be difficult and I'm here to guide them to a place of strength, so they can feel empowered to achieve success in their lives.

I am skilled at working with clients from diverse backgrounds, who struggle with mood disorders, substance abuse, addiction, depression, anxiety, adjustment difficulties, and identity issues.

I am trained to help clients figure out tangible solutions to issues and develop skills to meet their goals.
