Openings for New Couple and Individual Clients! You want a therapist who is both relatable and professional, who keeps the focus on you, but won’t make you feel like you are talking into empty space. You want to feel confident that your therapist can actually help you get to where you want to go. My clients appreciate my balance of expertise and authenticity, knowing we have a plan and aren’t winging it, and value action as much as talking. We’ll complete a specialized assessment to determine your strengths and needs, and use resources I’ve gathered or created to give you a step-by-step guide to work towards your end goals.

I believe all people generally have the resources to help themselves, yet sometimes simply need a safe, trustworthy professional to help work through issues, identify goals, make healthy decisions and take steps necessary to live life more fully. I use an integrative approach that draws largely from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), solutions-focused and cognitive behavioral theories. I recognize and respect the fact that individuals have widely varying perspectives and needs. Lastly, I am fully virtual and offer either phone or video sessions.

I am a seasoned, compassionate therapist, with over 25 years of counseling experience in assisting you to navigate life and heal inside & in your various relationships. EMDR is the most powerful tool for healing that I have acquired to help you find inner strength and peace. Along with EMDR, I have been trained in an adjunct treatment called LENS to reset the brain and optimize its functioning and ability to calmly focus. These adjunct treatments turn out to be a winning combination for many seeking inner peace, healthy self-esteem, & more wholeness. I am also skilled in helping you gain and maintain your addiction recovery.

Not interested in taking medications? At The Well Being, we provide our clients with skilled and experienced therapists, and an opportunity to begin using cardiovascular exercise as an effective mental health "medication" . At The Well Being, we offer traditional outpatient counseling services, while also providing the means for exercise to become a key component of your treatment. This is an alternative evidence-based approach for those who aren't interested in taking medications, or a more comprehensive alternative for those who are.

We navigate new and stressful situations on a daily basis. Sometimes we are satisfied with our ability to respond. At other times, we feel stuck, inadequate, or unable to find a purpose for moving forward. Maybe we missed something significant, fell into an old and unwanted pattern, or wish things would go differently in our relationships. Whether looking through a lens of deficit or strength, family influence or individual accomplishment, spiritual background, relationships, trauma history, or any other way of filtering our experiences, we are constantly learning more about ourselves.

Together we'll create a new lifestyle of hope, health, and life-changing opportunities. Whether you're struggling with a particular issue or seeking more life satisfaction, I can help with the problems you may be facing. By using effective treatment methods and self-awareness, we can strategize how to move beyond the limiting beliefs and behaviors that are not serving you. I provide a caring environment where you can explore these issues that are prohibiting a rewarding life, career, and fulfilling relationships. My goal is to work together using insights and tools to enhance your life and overcome obstacles.
