Looking to generate change and improve your life? Take that first step.... Allow me to help you, so you can start on your new found life... taking that first step with my support.

Welcome to a place of healing and growth! Times that feel challenging and painful provide you with the opportunity to rearrange your life so that your journey is more peaceful and fulfilling. But to do this, it helps to have a guide; someone who knows the terrain so that you can find the best way forward. I have been this guide in an outpatient setting to many adults challenged by anxiety, depression, grief, and a history of trauma. As a hospice volunteer, I have also worked with families at the end of life. I look forward to the opportunity to serve as your guide as well.

Individuals seek therapy for various reasons and my goal as a therapist is to meet each individual where they’re at in their current life journey. I strive to develop a collaborative relationship that enables us to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may be getting in the way of your ability to live your most meaningful life. I work towards creating a space where clients feel comfortable, supported, and respected. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults in various settings including IOP and school based.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or stressed? Are you struggling with crisis within your own family? Have a child or teenager feeling the same? Although it may feel like it, you are not alone! Together, we will develop goals and build upon your strengths. I believe there is not one single approach to help every person since each individual is different and every situation is unique. I will offer you support, help you identify the cause of your struggles, and empower you to be utilize the skills that will allow for positive change in your life.

Each individual that comes into counseling has their own unique story, background, and reason for seeking help at that time. Therefore, it is crucial for me as a therapist to meet you where you are at, and to help you explore your own journey with compassion and non-judgement. In the counseling setting, I strive to give hope when people feel hopeless, inspire others to be all that they are capable of being, and ultimately watch clients walk away from their counseling experience feeling capable and excited to live their own personal journey.

You may be ready to take a courageous first step and choose a therapist for your needs. I treat your concerns in a non-judgmental environment of respect and confidentiality. I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This type of approach helps to better understand how your thoughts contribute to behaviors that may lead to emotional distress. CBT is effective to help anxiety, fears, obsessions/compulsions, relationship issues, self-esteem and depression.

I am a licensed psychologist, specializing in adult and child/adolescent psychology. I utilize a cognitive behavioral approach; whereby, I work with clients to understand the interaction between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to make healthy and more intentional choices. With over twenty years of experience in private practice, I use compassion and empathy to develop a comfortable and supportive therapeutic relationship.

Realistically, we all struggle with something at some point in our lives. Anxiety, depression, interpersonal and familial conflict, PTSD, grief, trauma, and substance use/misuse/abuse can intercept and hijack our lives at any given moment. Navigating the path to wellness can be difficult. Adjusting to change in your life can also be challenging and overwhelming. You don't have to navigate it alone. As an educated and experienced mental health professional, I will provide you with creative, caring, and compassionate care to support and guide you through life's adverse events.

I aid clients in navigating through their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors to allow clarity and room for positive change so they can ultimately live a fulfilled life.

We experience life transitions and periods of loss and grief throughout our lives. I am particularly interested helping you with the issues that we experience as we grow older and also in helping families cope with those issues that we face as our loved ones age. Caring for loved ones with aging disorders such as dementia can create chronic stress, anxiety, depression and burnout for even the most capable. You may be feeling unable to care for yourself, your own family and career. If you are feeling depleted and overwhelmed we can work collaboratively to discover a story of change, resilience, and hope.

I give homework and I want you to do the work and of course I’ll be there to support you through the entire process.

Hi! Nice to "meet" you. My philosophy is that we are all human beings before anything else and human beings need food, water, air, shelter and safety to survive. My therapeutic goal with clients is to provide that safe space to work through life’s troubles. When a time comes where problems are interfering with your capacity to function properly, therapy can be a great help. I believe that therapy can be the gateway from the life you currently live to the life you want to live. Acknowledging that we are human and we do not always get it right or know all of the answers is a sign of strength and willingness to grow.
