If you've tried therapy before and "got nowhere," or had a therapist who didn't give much direction, or teach you skills - look no further! My overarching goals are to help you become more fulfilled in life, empowered, authentic, calm / in control, and to become the person you want to be, as quickly as possible. I work with anyone who is struggling with any type of anxiety / trauma, panic, anger, relationship issues, reactivity, depression, adjusting to life's changes, loss, codependency, people pleasing, perfectionism, narcissistic trauma, religious trauma, anger, avoiding, assertiveness and boundaries.

I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to form a close working relationship to resolve their concerns. I appreciate straightforward communication where clients provide me with honest feedback regarding the helpfulness (or not) of the interventions I recommend. With this information, treatment is adapted to fit the client's preferred style for healing. Clients and I forge a emotionally healing relationship wherein we identify treatment strategies to enhance emotional well-being, problem-solving, communication, symptom reduction, and personal growth.

Relationships can be difficult. I work with clients to develop and execute plans to help them reach the goals they would like to achieve; both individually and within the context of their relationships. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I work hard to ensure my clients feel comfortable, well informed about their treatment goals and progress, and that the therapeutic methods being used align the two. In this space of authenticity and safety, clients are able to reach the insight and connection they've been missing in their relationships with themselves, their partners, and others.

I believe we all have the right to our own belief systems but often times sharing those with someone who is a complete stranger can be intimidating. I offer you a safe space to be YOU. I am a spiritual being that is open to embracing dialogue around non-traditional ways of thinking and believing. Because the client-therapist is an important relationship, my goal is to provide a high-quality service to you that includes quick and responsive communication as well as a huge library of resources to give you the tools you need for an action based and humanistic therapy process. I enjoy working with women and couples!

I am grateful to have been a part of helping so many individuals, couples, and blending families resolve their issues over the past 35 years. While the experience has honed my therapy skills, each new person or relationship is unique and requires exploring solutions that fit their individual personality.

Coming into therapy can be difficult, especially for people of color or African Americans. It’s important to be understood and be valued for who you are. Culture and ethnicity are a major part of who we are. You need to know that you will be heard and not judged. You must feel safe. It’s vital to know your therapist will partner with you to get the exact help needed. Each person needs effective tools that they can use outside of therapy sessions. These tools are tailor made to help them achieve success in feeling better and to move forward with life goals. When a client puts in the hard work to change, amazing things happen!

I have significant experience working with high school and college age students with their individual issues and helping their families work through family conflicts that arise during these developmental years. In the process of this, I have worked extensively with persons experiencing anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, identity issues, self-harm, bullying and interpersonal conflict. By virtue of working with families in these developmental stages, I also am asked to do pre-marital and marital therapy for a variety of age groups.

Love and nurturing are the cornerstones of my practice. From my youngest clients to my oldest, I believe that a positive connection in a safe and non-judgmental atmosphere encourages and empowers the children, families and adults I work with to heal and grow from the inside out! My focus for the past 10 years of my career has been on supporting children, families and individuals to reconnect with each other and themselves in a way that enhances their sense of peace, joy and fulfillment.

Not Taking New Clients. All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination." Those who are suffering from issues related to any major mental health or stress concerns; such as anxiety, CAN regain the direction they may have lost in their life. If you or your child feels lost, I am dedicated to ensure that the individual builds their life back to where it is meant to be. A quality life worth living is important.

Our practice focuses on sexual addiction - for the addict, the partner and the couple. If you struggle with sex addiction (including pornography) you need someone who understands this addiction and has a plan for your recovery. We do. If you are the partner of a sex addict, it's important to take care of yourself and seek counsel from a compassionate therapist who understands your situation. Both the addict and the betrayed partner get better faster with a highly trained, highly focused supportive therapy team. Men and women have regained and even improved relationships through their work with us.

Do you feel frustrated? Alone? Unsupported? I help couples and families gain an understanding of each other's feelings and needs, re-establish closeness and connection, and successfully work together on significant issues. I individualize my approach to meet each couple's, client's or family's unique needs. Therapy may include verbal counseling and/or nonverbal art therapy explorations. I have had great success helping couples restore their connection, and families learn to regulate their emotions and communicate in meaningful ways.

Many people experience trauma or other hardships that interfere with their life. Depression and anxiety can make it difficult to function. Extreme emotions can be overwhelming and distracting. I incorporate multiple science based approaches in therapy to make sure that individuals both have the skills to function, and can live their life to their full potential. I am experienced in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which is an excellent tool for dealing with unresolved trauma. I will work with you to find the the best tools that will encourage healing and foster growth.

I am only seeing clients virtually at this time. I have gravitated toward working with people who have experienced trauma, anxiety and depressive issues. I provide a judgment-free, supportive setting and aid the client in identifying their own inner strengths to help them find solutions to whatever difficulties they are experiencing. People want to feel safe and valued and I believe I can help with this. I believe people want quality services at a reasonable price. I can provide this as well.

As someone who is grieving or suffering through a life transition, you often find yourself wondering will I feel better, can I feel better? It seems like you’ve tried everything but nothing seems to work, at least not for very long. Imagine what it would feel like to move forward, what would it be like if your life wasn’t controlled by your pain? A life transition can be planned or unplanned, positive or negative. They may be dramatic as in accidents, death, divorce, job loss or serious illness or can come from positive experiences such as getting married, going away to college, starting a new job, moving away or giving birth.

Counseling is a very personal endeavor, therefore finding the right counselor is a big decision. You'll want someone who can understand what you're going through. Maybe right now you are in a place in your life where you're not sure what the next step is to take. Maybe you have found that your relationships are unsatisfying, you are unhappy in your career, or your kids are stressing you out. I would like to work with you through your challenging situation and help you live a more fulfilling life.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
