Counseling
I am glad you are here.
Facing mental health challenges can feel daunting and confusing. I am here to help you address your concerns with respect and care. With such support and some committed practice, many clients experience joy and connection in new ways.
I offer a steady, accepting space for people who want to look inward and gently process difficult experiences. We will move at a pace that prioritizes your safety while building trust and understanding. Our work may include making sense of intense emotions, healing relationship patterns, or finding inspiration after loss or change. You might come with a clear goal, or simply a sense that something inside needs care and attention.
You may notice strong yet hurting parts of yourself that feel broken, frozen, or scared. This is a normal part of being human. Using mindfulness and therapies that fit your needs, we’ll strengthen your ability to listen to yourself, respond with compassion, and move through life with more clarity and confidence.
I bring curiosity and respect to each person’s path and enjoy wholeheartedly supporting my clients while they do this meaningful work. Please call, text, or email to schedule a short consultation. If we are not the right fit for you at this time, I would be happy to talk about your options.

Specialties and Expertise
There are no perfect words for the ups-and-downs of the human condition and its complexities. You are a person, first, and if you need help understanding a diagnosis or condition, our work can focus on building resilience in the face of stigma and learning how to self-advocate.

I also treat Anxiety, Autism, Behavioral Issues, Bipolar Disorder, Codependency, Coping Skills, Dissociative Disorders (DID), Dual Diagnosis, Education and Learning Disabilities, Family Conflict, First-Episode Psychosis, Grief, Impulse Control Disorders, LGBTQ+ Issues, Mood Disorders, Multicultural Issues, Relationship Issues, Self-Harming, Sexual Abuse, Spiritual Concerns, Stress, Thinking Disorders, and Women's Issues.
