You may read more about my background, education, experience, and counseling approach by clicking on my name on this page. I work with clients who have anxiety and parents of anxious children and LGBTQ+ persons. I will work with your comfort level, but I believe a video meeting is the best start.

You did it - you took the first step toward a more enriched life. Yes, therapy can be scary, but so can continuing to exist day to day without fulfillment, fire, or clarity. No, we don't have to analyze your childhood for years in order for progress and steps forward to take place. What I will offer is a collaborative approach and meet you exactly where you are. Are you struggling making connections? Having trouble getting over a break up? Do you constantly compare yourself to others? Let's do something about it. No more staying "stuck." Shake up habitual ways of thinking to something more meaningful. I specialize working with anxiety, relationship issues, depression, and stress management. I want my clients to leave with a sense of empowerment and gain perception on how to live a different and more satisfying life. So let's stop letting another day pass by existing but not really living and strive toward some positive and lasting changes!
