Let me start by saying I love what I do and always have. I have been a therapist for over 30 years. In fact I retired and then came back to it. I love working with adults including clients over 65 years old. I have had many years of experience working with with elderly clients. I am a Certified Clinical Nurse Specialist and my nursing background alerts me when someone is having not only symptoms of depression or anxiety but may have a medical problem overlaying these symptoms. Allow me the pleasure of helping you to live a better life.

I've been fortunate in my career to work with individuals at each stage of development; childhood through elderly. Depression, anxiety, and grief are common at all stages of life; I can help. In addition to individual therapy, my clinical focus is on neuropsychological assessment of dementia. The decision to limit a family member's independence or to relocate him/her in assisted living can be heart wrenching. Neurocognitive assessment and decisional capacity evaluations can help ease the weight of such decisions. I can also help with the transition from independent living to assisted living.

Trauma is intertwined with different aspects of life and is a key to recognize when growing in life. My goal as a counselor is to compassionately help you with processing, healing, and understanding your emotional, spiritual, psychological, and cultural self as a whole mind and body approach. I utilize humanistic/person-centered therapy, positive-solution focus, mindfulness, and creative expression within a cognitive behavioral therapy approach. Creative expression incorporates developing artistic outlets, coping techniques, and life skills mindfulness.

Happily Ever After feels like something you’d see on Hallmark’s annual Christmas extravaganza. Not like a reality for your actual lived life. No one told you it would be so fucking hard and exhausting to weave it all into existence. But you did it. Except... all these roles you’re expected to play to perfection…mother, partner, friend, daughter, employee, unpaid Uber driver, sister - there’s simply no space for you.

I have a passion working with adolescents and adults to take the next step of advancing in their life goals. Therapy is a space where you can unload your burden and have an unbiased practitioner to lend a listening ear and provide support and tools as you go through life's challenges. No one person's story is the same and how we approach the barriers that are presented are just as unique.

My goal is to help people lead happier more content lives. I hope to build a relationship in which you feel secure in the knowledge that I am here to help you and truly want to see you achieve a more content you. Counseling is just like life in that you get out of it what you put into it. Counseling requires courage. In going through the difficult parts though, you will come out stronger and more capable of living the life you desire. I can’t “fix” you (you’re not broken even if it feels that way). What I’ll do is work along side you to get through those tough things that are going on inside or around you.

If you are considering entering into counseling or therapy I would like to warmly welcome you to join my practice. Each individual brings a unique and deeply personal perspective to the counseling relationship. It is my intention to encourage that relationship by providing a safe and comfortable environment where we can explore, clarify, and heal those areas of life causing pain or difficulty and, just as importantly, nurture those areas bringing success and joy. Ideally our work together will grow your own personal resources, knowledge, stability, and strength.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
