Congratulations on taking the first step towards healing! Counseling can provide you with a supportive, safe environment in which to explore and navigate life’s challenges. I am dedicated to going at your own pace and providing a non-judgmental, nurturing environment along the way. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) specializing in eating disorders, career counseling, severe anxiety disorders, and trauma. My approach encourages conquering fears, pointing out strengths, building self-care into your schedule, practicing mindfulness, regulating emotions, and identifying passions so that you can lead a purposeful life.

I believe that it takes tremendous courage for an individual to reach out for counseling. People often take this step when they are feeling stuck or stagnant, unable to find relief and solutions on their own. I view my work with my clients as a partnership: I bring clinical knowledge and experience to the alliance and my clients bring their strengths, their inner wisdom, and their readiness to explore. While working together I provide a safe, comfortable and informative environment in which the client can find healing, seek solutions and create strategies that will bring about lasting change.

I believe we thrive on healthy connections with others. Sometimes we need help repairing and facilitating our relationships. Sometimes we might want to clarify what is working and not working in our lives. I offer an environment where motivated couples and individuals are able to freely express themselves, while gaining insight into their lives. I have a particular interest in working with people experiencing a Cancer Diagnosis, including partners, family members and caregivers. I am willing to help process the complicated emotions and feelings accompanying this illness.

Need an expert? Struggling with your relationships or sexuality? I'm an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and Relationship Specialist. Maybe you have difficulties communicating about relationships or sex. Lacking desire or skills in your relationship can be frustrating but there is hope. Respark Therapy has 8 therapists with flexible schedules and fees. All therapists are highly trained, confident professionals. Discussing intimacy is sometimes scary, especially if don't have the language to talk about it. Together we can work toward gaining confidence, rebuilding trust, and learning new techniques to light the fire.

Let's face it, life gets messy. At one point or another, we've all asked ourselves the questions; how did I get here or how will I get through this? Whether it's a shaky relationship, a difficult life transition or just a need to have someone to confide in, I believe that the broken places in our hearts can be healed and you can write a life story that you are proud to live.

Being curious about what makes us feel and act the way we do brings authenticity, creativity, and choices into our lives. Our self-concept and beliefs about the world are often formed in childhood and learned in our primary relationships. Unconsciously, these early experiences guide many of the decisions in our lives. I am passionate about exploring with you, the patterns that may leave you feeling confused, frustrated, or unable to move forward. Together, we will create space to cultivate conscious and caring responses to the inevitable challenging events of life.

Spiraling? To work through pain, chemistry between the therapist and the client matters. What you can expect from me as your therapist: I will be my authentic self in the room & likely drop the F-bomb. I weave pragmatism, warmth and humor into our conversations. I will treat you like an equal person sitting across from me. I work best with clients who want to be their whole selves, too. While it feels like going in circles, you're actually climbing a mountain. Same view- new perspective.

My personal belief is that everyone is doing their best with the tools they have. I utilize an individualized approach rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to strengthen resiliency and provide coping skills to overcome daily life stressors. If you have ever found yourself stuck and desire a way to navigate and work through your personal challanges, together we can create that change.

Being a person is hard. Big life events can make it harder and even daily care tasks make it harder. Sometimes, once we realize we need extra help, it’s hard to find the energy and courage to look for help, to ask for it. This is starting to sound like an endless cycle of things being hard and daily life feeling unmanageable – yikes! That’s where I come in! First thing you need to know: you are okay! You are doing so much better than you think! Fun side note: in addition to being an LPC Associate, I'm also a certified Level II Reiki practitioner.
