I have developed a unique combination of interpersonal psychoanalysis, mind-body-spirit alliance and cognitive behavioral techniques. I have been able to develop my abilities in a way of optimizing a person's success. I have seen so many people from all walks of life, which has provided me with a deep insight and a practical view of variety problems that people are facing. I approach all who I see with the same respect, humility and dignity that I would want for myself or one of my loved one experiencing similar pains.

Are you feeling hurt or overwhelmed by something that happened to you? Do you find yourself stuck in upsetting patterns of thinking, feeling or behaving that make it difficult to move forward and make decisions in your personal or professional life? Considering making changes in your life can feel daunting but counseling can provide support and guidance as you continue building a more fulfilling life for yourself. In my practice, I strive to create a safe, collaborative, non-judgmental atmosphere that will help you better understand the difficulties you're experiencing and learn ways to overcome them.

When you’re walking through the woods and you cross paths with a bear, you expect a rush of adrenaline to warn your brain of the danger. You expect your body to fight back, to run away, or sometimes you freeze right in your tracks. This is your body’s natural chemical response to danger. But what happens when the “bear” is a loved one? What happens when you see the “bear” at the grocery store? What happens when a smell or a sound takes you back to a memory that feels like it’s happening right now? Maybe you know what triggers this response in you. Maybe you have had so many encounters with “bears” in your life that you feel numb.

I have a reputation for results-oriented mental health services for all ages in a variety of practice settings. In addition to providing telebehavioral counseling/psychotherapy services, I am available for professional consultation and training supervision.

Are you in a relationship that feels like it's falling apart? Maybe you have always struggled with relationships? Do you feel disheartened because no matter what you seem to do, you just don’t feel truly heard? Is your relationship in crisis? Maybe things have been rough for a long time? Have you've experienced infidelity? Are you are experiencing intimacy issues? Do you avoid intimacy? Do you struggle to connect with your partner? Are you ready for a change but don't know where to start?

As far as most people know, you've got everything going for you.  Loved ones can count on you. You're intuitive, can pick up on the needs of others, and the one who can be "all things to all people." Maybe you're the teacher, nurse, therapist, college student, or mother that seems to have it all together.  Inside though, you're starting to wonder if you even know who you are.  You might even look at your life and find yourself asking "Is this all there is?' Or just feeling a varying combination of exhausted/anxious/burned out/empty/bored. Something feels missing or off, and it's unsettling. 

I love being able to help others through the rough patches in their lives, the terrible experiences we may have no control over, and adjusting to life transitions and periods of change. My goal is to provide encouragement towards your life goals and better overall mental wellness and self love. I have done extensive work in the area of anxiety and depressive disorders, relapse prevention, and trauma. I also work with those who are seeking perinatal and postpartum support. Having a child can be a joyous but difficult time. I strive to help those through this major time of adjustment.

If you’ve been searching for how to move beyond a stuck point and coming up empty, you may be feeling frustrated and helpless. Lots of folks I work with struggle to pinpoint the “stuck” -- they simply know that the status quo is definitely not an option. Or if you’ve been watching your loved one get stuck and become someone you don’t recognize, consumed with negative thoughts, worries, behaviors, you may be experiencing fear and isolation. If either is true for you, you need to understand two things -- a.) this is not unusual (at all), and b.) there are effective treatments that work (and don’t take forever to do so).

At the heart of my counseling philosophy is the awareness that though we are each unique, we share in this one human experience. If we open ourselves to the ongoing aid and support of this connection, we are able to heal and grow. Working from a person-centered lens, I integrate techniques and interventions to understand presenting symptoms with empathy, compassion and mindfulness. I trust that clients have what they need to heal. These gems of wisdom will come, when the client is ready to be with them, and I am here to facilitate the process. I have a background in corporate marketing, management, yoga and wellness.

I greatly enjoy helping clients who want to improve their relationships with the significant people in their lives. Many people come to therapy because of difficulty within an important relationship. Relationships are so very important to us as human beings, and when we find ourselves struggling with one, it can cause us much pain. I work with individuals, as well as couples. Of special importance to me is working with the LGBT+ population. I love working with people who are motivated towards growth, change, and are ready to make improvements in their relationships and ultimately within themselves.

It is my feeling that all people have an innate need to succeed in life and to discover and better understand their human potential and purpose. It is also my feeling that the good work of looking inward plays an essential role in the evolution of the human spirit.
