Life is hard. We get overwhelmed. And stuck. And sometimes it can snowball and we start to lose control. The question is, how do we get out of this cycle? What is it that isn’t working for you? What needs to change? What is keeping you from overcoming these obstacles? The answers aren’t always obvious because there are many factors that fracture our attention, steal our resources, and prevent progress. The ways to get to a content mindset are often clouded by our circumstances, habits, and persp...
We all experience difficulties in our lives. It is my goal to assist individuals with identifying lessons that can be learned from those experiences and utilize them to create more positive and healthy experiences in the present and future....
Maybe now is the right time to take off the mask, to start being exactly who you have long dreamt of being, and to unwind the faulty narrative that others created. Being ourselves is a full time job, and while there isn't much financial compensation for authenticity, there sure is more peace than most of us have previously known. While I enjoy the ease of Telehealth (my main modality), I also love getting outside with my clients. Hiking sessions are frequent, and like myself, my clients have dis...

I received my Master’s Degree from Winthrop University with a focus on empowerment practice. As everyone has walked different journeys in life, their...
My approach is to meet each person where they are regarding their readiness to make changes in their life. I treat everyone I work with, with the respect and dignity that they deserve. It can be hard to seek professional help. I provide a judgement free space for you to feel free to be who you are while you share. It takes courage to take those first steps in seeking a more fulfilling and happier life and even more to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take those steps I ...
Do you find yourself feeling anxious, sad, confused, angry lately? When people ask, “How are you doing right now?” can you really say you are doing “well”? We are living through an extremely difficult time, and nothing in our lives could have prepared us for 2020. And yet, we have all been asked to somehow adapt to this new normal and carry on. Deciding to start therapy is often hard to do, but I am here to help! My role is to provide support, understanding, encouragement, and empathy. Together,...

My clinical practice mainly consists of fellow queer and neurodivergent folx who struggle with complex trauma.

One of my passions is assisting students transitioning to college and other life transitions. My work with students with mental health disabilities in high school and helping them move beyond learning emotional regulation, executive functioning and other skills has been very rewarding. Many students deal with anxiety and stress and there is no reason to deal with this on your own....

I frequently work with adults ages 17+ to help them gain understanding of how our past can influence our present behaviors and emotional responses and assist those struggling with addiction to regain control over their own lives. I enjoy working with couples to develop positive, healthy relationships and interactions with each other through po...

I can provide a comfortable, confidential, and non-judgmental environment for you to explore what YOU need out of life. I will be there to support you, provide pers...
