TRUST Peer reviewed articles published in recent years regarding and quantifying the importance of trust between a client and his or her mental health clinician indicate that the professional’s education or credentials have less to do with positive therapeutic outcomes than trust between the client and clinician. Finding a clinician you might trust can be a time consuming proposition. However, a relatively quick and totally free phone call may give you an initial indication of whether the professional on the other end of the phone may be suited to help you with the present difficult situation at hand.

I work with adults who are in crisis and those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and relationship problems. I work from an emotional perspective helping people talk about their feelings and understand where they come from so they will be better able to understand themselves and relate to others more effectively. Sometimes those feelings are about the pains of the present and sometimes they are about the pains of the past. I help people sort out these feelings, find their proper place, let go of old wounds and find the feelings that lead to postive connections.

I am unable to take on more patients....I wish you all goodness & wish you peace & good health!

I enjoy helping people improve their experience of family life. Many people have difficult relations with parents, partners or children.

I also focus on core difficulties that interfere with school or work, including interpersonal conflict, anxiety, and uncertainty about professional choices.

I love my work and am in awe of the adults and adolescents I work with who courageously address the hurts in their life that prevent them from living more fully. It maybe a crisis in a relationship, ongoing anxiety or depression, a painful trauma, or an inner sense that things are just not right. Together we pay attention to these feelings, enabling them to be talked about, more fully experienced and then understood. This transformative process can restore joy and resilience in life, as well as improve the capacity to care about oneself and be in relationship with others.

* I am currently only seeing clients via Telehealth* As a licensed clinical mental health counselor, I have a variety of methods to meet the needs of those I work with.

I enjoy working with adult individuals and building a safe therapeutic environment for them to explore their strengths, barriers, and potential.

In addition, I work with individuals on building and positively engaging with a support network, which is crucial in the recovery process.

"Liminality" refers to the middle stage of change, the threshhold between what was, and what is yet to be. It is when, and where, we are forced by circumstance or choice to leave behind what is familiar, and to journey into a place of uncertainty. It is a normal part of being human. I named my practice Liminal Therapy to honor the process of change and human resilience. My clients are adults (18+) and include people with ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, trauma, addictions, and issues related to the stressors of life stages and transitions. Diversity and multicultural wisdom traditions are welcome and appreciated.
