* Now offering evening appointments.* Is there a divide between who you are and who you would like to be? Do you feel trapped in a life in which you feel like an imposter or you are constantly wearing a mask to hide depression, anxiety, or who you are at the core? I work with clients to live an authentic life unburdened by past trauma, grief, mood disorders, or other circumstances that cloud clear vision of who you are and where you are going. My goal is to provide a therapeutic space which is safe, supportive, and nonjudgemental for exploration, transformation, and healing.

I get it. You can’t eat. You can’t sleep. Your heart feels like it is beating out of your chest. You feel alone. You put everyone else first and wonder when it will be your turn. You don’t even like the person in the mirror, so how can you hope to find acceptance from anyone else? Is your main concern your body size or shape? Your sexual orientation? The role others expect of you? You are overwhelmed by feelings you don’t even understand. You wonder if you will be stuck like this forever.

We work with people that are seeking help to improve themselves. They may be hearing from others that counseling would be helpful or they have some insight into the areas of life they want to grow personally. You have everything to gain in working with one of our expert therapists. Our approach is to collaboratively work towards you achieving your personal goals.

I personally believe that everyone can benefit from counseling. Life can be hard. I am committed to helping clients work towards becoming their most authentic self. Counseling is a collaborative experience between the therapist and the client. It is my goal to create a safe space for individuals and couples to find solutions to their problems while learning creative coping skills they can use to improve their quality of life.

Is your teen or young adult struggling with the challenges of everyday life? Has academic pressure, stress, relationship challenges, or trauma led to anxiety, depression, lack of motivation, low-self esteem/self-confidence, or negative patterns of behavior? As a parent, do you feel frustrated and defeated because you can’t find answers? You feel like you have tried everything, yet nothing seems to be working. All you desire is for your child to feel better and to be successful. We cannot control the things that happen to us, but we can control how we respond. Expressing feelings and emotions is the first step in taking control.

Do you feel stuck, desperate to move forward in your life but can't seem to leave the past in the past? Do your emotions get the best of you...anxiety, depression, anger, irritability? Are you tired of taking care of or trying to fix everyone else but feel guilty for wanting to focus on your own needs and wants for a change? Maybe you've lost a sense of who you are and don't even know what your needs and wants are. Maybe your past experiences, possibly physical or sexual abuse, create shame, guilt or deep emotional pain.

My greatest joy is to help those suffering from life's challenges. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, anger, grief, relational problems or difficult life changes; I meet clients where they are in a nonjudgmental way.

I value an individualized approach to counseling and the importance of catering to your specific needs. I embrace people from all faiths, culture and sexual orientation in my practice.

I believe that healing happens through the connection between the therapist and client. Life is really hard! Relationships, trauma, loss, life stages, and the daily grind have affected every one of us, but there is healing and a story of reclamation of true self for each of us. Navigating our emotional response to life is tricky and often scary, but we can be empowered to feel victorious in our ability to take care of ourselves. In the context of a safe relationship between therapist and client, insight and re-experiencing life through compassionate eyes enables us to practice compassion for self.

My goal as a counselor is to provide support and practical feedback to help people resolve current problems and gain more satisfaction out of life, both present and future. I work to help people find their own inner strength and hope along life's sometimes difficult journey. I am dedicated to helping people enjoy life more fully.

You hurt when your child hurts. As their parent, you just want to ease their pain. Being unable to do this can be heart-breaking but also frustrating and exhausting. Communication can require so much energy. Sometimes those efforts even cause conflict between you and your child. These times are confusing and difficult for everyone in the home. Children, teens, and young adults face a variety of challenges. Peer interactions, school/life transitions, developmental changes, increased stressors and responsibilities are all a part of the growing up process, but can place significant tension on the family unit.

Do you feel stuck in life? Do you feel unhealthy and stressed out? My therapy focuses on positive psychology and how to help people find a healthy lifestyle. Using this model, I have developed a type of therapy that focuses on helping people achieve health in mind, body and soul. This work includes finding out what problems exist in a persons life, and working to solve the problems we all face in life (loss/grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and stress). My hope is that by finding solutions and working out those solutions life will get better.

We are all responsible for our own healing--for creating fulfilling lives for ourselves. Sometimes the pain that keeps us from healing feels too big to manage alone, or remains hidden and unseen without help. I fought like hell to earn the privilege of sitting with other people during their hardest moments. It's a responsibility I take seriously. I know you have a lot to say. As Dr. Frasier Crane says, "I'm listening." I'm curious. I'm fascinated. We all have to do the work to grow. We don't have to do it alone.

I love helping children, families, individuals, and couples solve problems of self-control, anger management, interpersonal conflict, anxiety/ depression, and parenting. I emphasize practical, research-based, results-oriented methods, and I am described by my clients as warm, friendly, informal, and "easygoing".

I believe that while therapeutic work often covers some of the most difficult issues the human experience has to offer, it is crucial to provide an atmosphere that is experienced as positive towards healing. Often times, growth and healing seem overwhelming, but there is beauty to be found in it. I am always drawn to the line in a poem by Rumi that states, "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there." It is a summation of what therapy should be. Healing and growth are best found in places beyond judgement. It is truly an honor when you have the opportunity to meet someone in this space.

Fertility challenges, postpartum depression or anxiety, loss of a pregnancy or child due to a medical condition, a hospitalized infant, child with a complex medical diagnosis, elective terminations, & women's issues aren't situations you have to manage alone! My focus area is providing individual & couples therapy to clients with emotional challenges surrounding their journey in parenthood. I believe it’s important to treat each client individually by assessing needs and identifying the modality that is most appropriate. Southeast Perinatal Counseling holds space for clients to feel accepted and supported with tailored sessions.

Above each blade of grass is an Angel that whispers, Grow. Grow. - The Talmud People don't change: they grow. People don't need fixing: they need compassion. People don't need treatment: they need dialogue. Carl Jung said the purpose of therapy is not perfection but wholeness. The purpose of counseling is certainly not to be normal or average or just to fit in; which is the assumption behind the DSM which is the basis for all the labels and diagnosis (and money) in the field. Counseling and therapy can include but should never be reduced to the medical only model

You are brave to have started the search for a therapist! I aim to meet you where you are in your journey and help you navigate your individual needs. Are you feeling overwhelmed with life right now? It helps to have someone to assist you in carrying that load.

You are here because even though your life or your relationship may look fine from the outside, everything feels wrong on the inside. You're tired, hopeless and wondering where things went wrong. Some days you don't even want to get out of bed. You look in the mirror and think "I just want to be happy again". You look at your relationship and think "What went wrong? Will we ever be like we were in the beginning?" You're not ready to give up on your relationship or yourself. You recognize you need someone to help you find that strength, happiness and peace you know is still somewhere inside.
