Life can be difficult and confusing. I am here to help you sort through the pain to find hope and healing for the days ahead. The hurt can be deep, going back to earliest memories or coming from present hardships. Counseling you is about establishing a safe place, a loving environment of grace. My tools come from my training and from 25 years of experience, but each person is exquisitely unique, so no therapeutic relationship is the same as any other. It is an honor and privilege to share deeply in your life and the lives of your family.

My areas of expertise come from formal training and hours of working through the top complaints of people in distressed relationships. Concerns expressed often include: we don't communicate, I feel like roommates, he doesn't talk, she thinks I can read her mind, sex is almost obsolete, whatever I do is never good enough, we aren't on the same page with parenting, I get no help around the house, I feel like a single parent, texting and social media emotional affairs and/or physical affairs have taken place".

Are you struggling with adjusting to change? Are past traumas keeping you stuck? There are so many changes universally right now and they can be overwhelming. Even adapting back to what we are referring to as "normalcy" is different and new. Or, do you have some issues with feeling confident in one or more areas of your life? I get it. Sometimes clients come to me for support and guidance with their relationships, yet their work situation is mostly satisfying. And still others would like to feel more comfortable in their family role, professional role, or even in their roles in general. They would like to be able to move forward...

Life is now. We all experience inner and outer obstacles that interfere with living life to its fullest. Growth / progress usually stems from understanding who we are, what needs to change within ourselves and our relationships, learning new ways to heal, forgive, and communicate, and letting go of patterns that interfere. Therapy is unique for each of us. I integrate and tailor various approaches to address the mind, body, and spirit. We will partner together to address your goals. I will bring compassion, creativity, sensitivity, warmth, accountability, and insight to our work together.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor & Mental Health Service Provider (LPC, MHSP) with over 23 years in the field of counseling. Having worked in areas of trauma recovery, family counseling, addiction, team building & guidance, I can offer many perspectives when helping you work through the reason(s) you have come for counseling.

I also provide individual & group Supervision for counselors wanting to obtain their LPC.

26 yr practice specializing in psychotherapy grounded in theory & research on the full range of problems people have. Committed to those I work with, open to all walks of life, listening closely and with curiosity. I can then tell you how I see you, and work to learn what you miss or don't know about yourself. This kind of self-understanding can fill in deep emotional blind spots that cause many emotional/relationship problems and disorders. Making sense of struggles & symptoms in this way is what changes people and reduces the pain they feel. With kids/teens I use different ways to do this and help parents do this for them.

I enjoy working with individuals in managing life challenges by identifying and building upon strengths, in order to gain a greater sense of self and develop confidence.

My goal is to provide a warm, relaxed, and non-judgmental environment to allow clients to feel safe and supported. My desire is to meet you where you are in your life journey and assist you along the path to self discovery, as each individual is the expert in his/her personal life experiences.

Life tends to throw many difficulties our way. My goal as a clinician is to help you through these difficulties by tailoring the therapy experience specifically to your struggles. I want to help you develop insight and self-awareness, lead a more value-driven life, utilize self-compassion, better regulate your emotions, communicate your needs effectively with others, and analyze how power dynamics may play out in your life. My areas of expertise include eating disorders, mood disorders, life transitions/adjustment disorders, LGBTQ+ issues, and women’s issues.

Life can often seem confusing and out of control. During those times, it can be difficult to maintain a daily routine and enjoy the little moments. It’s common to experience highs and lows that come along with stress but sometimes washing your hair can even feel like a mountain to climb. As a therapist, I would like to come alongside you and help in those times of difficulties.
