Studies show women attend counseling nearly 2-1 vs men. That said men, understandably, have cultivated a natural and valid discomfort for talking out issues, with the legitimate fear of being harshly judged or truly not heard. Well, I’d like to help men who find counseling uncomfortable. Suicide is the 11th overall cause of death in America. MIDDLE-AGE men have the HIGHEST rate of suicide making up nearly 70% of those total numbers. I’m here to help those men that want to find help, and need to truly be heard. As far as my approach, I’m a combination of holistic and realistic. Women are welcome as well, Im equal opportunity!

My ideal client is the person who is stuck in uncertainty, and struggling to find clarity in their identity or there role in life. My expertise as an experienced counselor & coach is in partnering for creating the perfect outcome or vision/goals. Often the roadblocks are related to fear, low self-confidence, lack of effective communication development, or adequate emotional expression. Included are anger management and relational issues. I focus on the whole individual for healthy healing and maturity. As self-growth expands a high level of achievement and success is the by-product both personally as well as professionally.

You may feel unbalanced in your relationship, wondering "Do we want the same things?" "Are we still a team?" You may deal with it by reaching out repeatedly hoping your partner's response eases your concern. You care so much! Or you hope your partner gives you space to process because you don't always know what to do in the moment, but you do want things to get better! When these strategies don’t work, the relationship can start to feel stuck in a pattern neither of you want. In our counseling sessions, my goal is to help you find new patterns of deeper intimacy and stronger communication so you can enjoy the life you live together.

I enjoy working with people from a variety of backgrounds, sexualities, gender identities, personalities, and cultures. It is important to me to recognize and honor individual identities as they come into the room. For me, safety in therapy to express the parts of ourselves that desire authentic honesty is imperative. I welcome children and their families using Child-Centered Play Therapy to help them express their current struggles and emotions. I would also welcome individuals and couples using Person-Centered therapy and Internal Family Systems using Restoration Therapy as a foundation.

Whether you are looking for in person sessions or online therapy sessions, we can find something that works for you.
Laughter & Genuine. Two words that describe me… As I say “I am who I am” or others might say “down to earth.” Whether you're navigating relationship issues, anxiety, depression, facing career crossroads, or seeking to improve your mental well-being, my goal is to create an easy and genuine space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. Similar to a psychologist, a mental health counselor is trained in theory and practice of mental health disorders, treatments and interventions.

My approach to helping youth and teens overcome the symptoms they are experiencing begins with teaching them how to identify and express emotions. I utilize tools from Violet Oaklander’s work to teach youth how to express themselves, which leads to a greater understanding of what they are feeling in the moment. The follow-on effect is greater emotional regulation and communication of their needs. I help youth regulate their emotions by teaching mindfulness. Through mindfulness and focusing on the present moment, youth and teens feel relief from anticipatory anxiety, and depression from events in the past.

I specialize in working with individuals who are navigating and trying to understand their challenges and relationship to Trauma, Autism, ADHD, anxiety, self esteem issues, or, not uncommonly, a combination of the listed. I also enjoy working with a large range of individuals, as I believe each person holds so much value with their unique experience. I also work within other ranges such as inner child work, spirituality, LGBTQIA+, life transitions, attachment styles, childhood trauma, and mindfulness.

I believe that each person exists in relationship with themselves, and that this informs the ways that they exist in relationship to others. Naming and identifying the feelings that cause us to react versus respond is hard work! Through hearing your story, we can begin to identify how you react from places of pain, and over time, identify ways that you can respond from places of peace. This will allow you to build a sense of self that aligns with your values, be more effective in your relationships, and address any "stuck points" that are impacting your life.

Are you feeling discouraged? Are you at a point which you feel your hope may be GONE! For example, are you a young adult who has lost hope in finding a soulmate? Are you a couple who is on the edge of getting a divorce? Are you a parent who can’t see hope in your child with health issues? There are many different circumstances that cause us to feel hopeless. Unfortunately, depression, anxiety and even anger often come alongside with a sense of hopelessness. My passion is to help you find hope through compassionate counseling.
