Worry is a shapeshifter! One day it looks like the fear of being judged by others or causing harm, getting sick or physically hurt; the next it is the fear of being less than perfect, or uncertain about the future. Worry can get tangled up with everyday stress, important events, with intrusive thoughts that feel upsetting or scary to have. Worry makes you feel trapped, in our routines, in indecision, in our own minds. Worry can get stuck on specific phobias, creating a cycle of obsessions and compulsions. Learning how to manage worry, wherever it pops up, can give us the tools to break free from fear and live the lives we want.

My passion involves working with individuals struggling with addiction, co-occurring disorders, trauma, and a variety of other issues. Building a strong rapport and meeting my clients where they are in their mental health journey is one of the foundations of my practice and I believe harm reduction can be a goal for many struggling with a diagnosis. Together, we will work on a treatment plan that is tailored to your issues, needs and goals. Being a Gold Star Daughter inspired me to work in veteran, and Gold Star family communities for 25 years. Teaching Pre K for 9 years was incredibly rewarding.

I have had a variety of experiences working with people who have had different types of problems. I have worked with individuals having problems ranging from anxiety, depression, anger management, chronic habitual problems, compulsivity, bipolar, sexual addiction, sexual offending/deviant behaviors, and psychotic issues. The value of therapy is that clients can come in with issues and with work receive some results in the form of change. It is my job to help facilitate that process. I believe in helping people work out their problems and provide them with the skill sets to help them accomplish their goals.

Hi! I am so glad that you are here. Sometimes we need to just talk to someone, whether it is due to life stressors, relationships, grief, or trauma. Depression and anxiety may be chronic or come and go for you- regardless I understand the impact symptoms can have on getting through the day to day. I am here to sit with you, in a safe space, and to listen. I want you to know that even just looking for therapy is brave. And for that, I am proud of you.

Counselor, MS, LCPC

Are you feeling like something is missing in your life? Do you wish you could have your life back the way it used to be? Maybe it has never been what you would like it to be. It could be related to relationships, work, family, or even nothing that you can identify at all. Ignoring the problem is not the answer even though it seems easier. You may want a "quick fix" but there is no replacement for really working through the issues in our lives and getting to a better place. Basically...how you got where you are and where to go from here. It is a big step. That's the kind of "fix" that lasts a lifetime. Call or email me today.

When choosing a therapist it is important to consider many different perspectives. First and most importantly, is this someone that you will be comfortable working with? Education and experience are other considerations? However, when it comes right down to it, it's about connecting. All the great tools that a therapist may have will be useless if you do not connect with them. I have heard from many of my clients about negative experiences in the past with therapists and how they feel like nothing really happened.

Life is challenging. So many ebbs and flows. I recognize that and would love to help you on your journey. We can all use a little support from time to time. Relationships can be difficult to manage. Setting (and keeping) boundaries at home, at work, or within relationships is hard work. If you or your child are looking for support with issues such as anxiety, depression, bullying, domestic violence, abuse, communication, or trauma, I'd love to help. I use creative therapy techniques in-person and via tele-health to support you or your child.
