I am an empathetic therapist who specializes in helping adults and older adults who are struggling with life changes and challenges. I can help you resolve past experiences that may be effecting personal growth in your present day life. I believe in taking an integrative approach to therapy and will work with you to develop new coping skills, new behaviors and thinking patterns. Whether you are feeling anxious or depressed due to events/emotions/behaviors that are making you feel overwhelmed, we can work together to find ways to help you to a more livable, functional place mentally and spiritually.

I believe that every individual has the inherent capability to make changes to better their lives. My goal is to foster relationships that best support client strengths, tailoring therapy that fits the indivdual(s). In my practice, I employ behavioral therapy, person centered therapy, and mindfulness work. I work with adults, couples and families who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, low self esteem, and spirituality concerns, and those who are in the midst of separation/divorce, or having parenting issues or communication challenges within family and/or peer relationships.

I facilitate processing feelings. For example, crying/sadness, is a natural, healing response to a hurt. Many early care givers were uncomfortable with our crying, which shut us down. My feelings based therapy facilitates healing from old, (or current) unprocessed emotional (or physical) hurts. Unprocessed hurts underlie obsessions/compulsions, substance mis-use, isolation, anxiety/depression.

*I am currently full and not accepting new clients. Thank you for checking!** Our search for meaning in a world where so much is uncertain is one thing that unites us all. My goal, as an experienced psychotherapist , is to support each of my clients on their own journey. We will work together as partners. I strive to create a safe and warm place for my clients to explore this journey. I am commited to honest communication and to the uniqueness of each individual. I can help you with depression, anxiety, trauma, interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships, grief, loss, and to increase your over-all well being.

Welcome! Finding a therapist who is a "good fit" is so important, as there is amazing power, grace, and opportunity in this relationship. It is my great joy and honor to walk alongside people on their current path. I am deeply committed to respecting the life experience and personal journey of others. Whether you are facing a bump in the road, an unexpected detour, weariness from the travel, or the need to create a new trail altogether, we can work together to create smoother, safer, easier traveling. May you come home to your own beautiful heart and unique and meaningful life.

Hello. I believe choosing to begin counseling is a sign of both courage and hope. To me, engaging in therapy means that you realize that feeling better is a possibility for you. In our work together we will explore your thoughts, feelings & actions in a curious, compassionate and sometimes even playful manner. Together we will discover ways for you to understand yourself better, maximize your strengths & make positive changes in your life. My particular areas of interest include working with teens (17+) & adults facing relationship issues, grief/loss/critical illness, life transitions, anxiety, depression &/or parenting challenges.

My practice specializes in EMDR and other trauma recovery modalities. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a treatment model that addresses present, past and even future concerns. It uses eye movement (similar to REM when we sleep) and other bilateral brain stimulation techniques to resolve painful experiences and feelings.

Currently, my practice is full. I offer telehealth and in person sessions, for those who are vaccinated, at this time. I believe there is a great difference between surviving and thriving in life. When we are thriving, we are unencumbered by self-limiting thoughts and beliefs, strive toward balance in our life and see the possibilities in front of us. I believe we all have within us the capacity to overcome, persevere, be resilient, and reach for our potential.

I assist in manifesting your truest and most authentic, positive self. I am passionate about helping you be more free from emotional suffering and to increase your ability to live life fully. I draw from my background in international affairs, peace and reconciliation studies, and social work to strengthen my holistic approach to therapy, and to facilitate understanding and connectedness in a therapeutic setting.
