Thus far in both my personal and professional life, I have witnessed or experienced situations that "take us by surprise". These are the circumstances that happen suddenly with little to no notice but become life defining. Perhaps the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, depression or anxiety creeps in and begins affecting day to day life, we experience a traumatic event, etc. When "life happens" we can find ourselves having emotional responses we are not sure how to handle. I have learned that during those times, it's often helpful to have support to be the best version of ourselves. Friends and family members may be helpful but at particularly challenging times-you may need a professional.

I specialize in working with adults affected by trauma or those who are struggling with anxiety and mood disorders. As a proactive, interactive, solution focused counselor, my approach is to provide support with insight and feedback to assist you with your current concerns while also addressing persistent issues of the past. We will work together, building upon your strengths and achieving your goals. My overall desire is to provide you with an emotional and physical space where you will feel seen and heard. It is a privilege to walk alongside each person I see as they open up their lives, practice vulnerability and practice new ways of interacting with themselves and others in their lives.
