Our Team
Therapists
I look forward to meeting you wherever you are on your journey and walking it together.
I truly believe that our minds and bodies have the innate capacity to heal from challenging and traumatic experiences. My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, client-centered, and tailored to each person's unique needs.
I work with couples and families, specializing in those with queer identities, whatever that may look like for you!
Do you feel insecure in your relationships with others? Are you a people pleaser that has difficulty saying no and setting boundaries?
My goal is to offer a safe therapeutic space and to move at the client’s own pace to tap into the resiliency and capacity for growth that resides within them.
I’m here to sit with you in the stuff and work towards getting you back to the you that you want to be.
I work to identify the strengths of my client and then utilize these as we collaborate, accomplishing the client's life goals, navigating stressors and bringing balance and hope to the client's life.
My specialities are with those who are going through a life transition and those dealing with life impacted by suicidal thoughts.
I strive to help families unify when they are coming through conflict with the goal of identifying commonality.
I strive to create a safe space where you feel empowered to begin your journey of healing, exploring, and rediscovery.

Life is messy and complicated and hard. If you are struggling, overwhelmed or just lost, you are not alone. It takes a great deal of courage to ask for help and every person deserves to feel safe, seen and heard.
In a society where we are expected to quickly move on and adapt to what we’ve been through, I focus on acknowledging your experience and its impacts on you.
I seek to provide you with a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your emotions, sit with the hard questions, and find refuge from life’s overwhelming moments.
I work with teens, young adults, adults, and couples. I am passionate about helping clients identify how traumatic events have shaped their current state.
As you seek to improve your future, be more engaged in the present, or make sense of your past, you need someone who is fully invested in you and your journey.

Our Philosophy
The why matters.
We are quick to share our happiness, but struggle with sharing our burdens. Our passion lies in working collaboratively with you, gaining insight about life's current stress, and working towards living a joyful, healthy, balanced, and fulfilling life. In today's stressful society we are constantly connected, there is not enough time to get everything done, let alone disconnect from the world and find time for yourself. You have to juggle families and careers - spouses and friends - caring for your kids while caring for aging parents. Or maybe you are in the phase of life where you are trying to figure out what to do, where you want to be, and who you want to live life with. This leaves little.... no.... time to take care of yourself! We believe that life should be lived as a community, supporting one another, growing, learning, celebrating!! and sharing in life's ups and downs.
In our sessions we disconnect from the fast paced, demanding world around us and focus on you. It is a period of time where you can speak freely about how you are truly feeling, what the reality of your life is, and trust that you will be heard. How often do you get a period of time where you can sit, disconnect, focus, and work to better yourself? How often are you really heard?
In counseling you get to tell your story, you are the expert in your life. That being said, there are discrepancies in our stories. Do your values align with your daily life? Are you following your passions in life or just daydreaming of them? In our time together we work to help you identify where the dependencies are that might be causing you angst. We are then able to expand your story and incorporate positive change. We may be working to decrease your anxiety, increase joy, find direction- all of which are attainable!
We view our work through a systemic lens. And by that we mean we don't live in a bubble, we are not isolated, we are part of various systems that influence us greatly. We believe that current life situations are influenced not only by today, or the here and now, but also by family, social influences, work environment, history and much more. Our goal is to help you to find peace, contentment, direction and joy all while appreciating and celebrating the impermeable, profoundly influential systems around you.
Confidentiality and genuineness are vital for a trusting and productive therapeutic relationship. We feel that you must find a counselor that fits your personality and work style in order to feel comfortable and make the positive changes that you are aiming for. This is your time, your investment, and you deserve to make it work for you. If you believe we might work well together- our vow as counselors is to be genuine - be ourselves (sometimes sarcastic)- be open, honest and work to make our sessions together productive.
