I work from body-based, humanistic, and positive-value approach. I cultivate deep empathy for and with my clients in their present state. I add in breathing and awareness tools to support allowing for whatever arises in the present moment to be tolerable. Together, we elicit the idea or desire for change and work together to move toward what change you would like to see in your life.

You’ve had a big loss - a death, identity, home, your rights, a relationship, etc. The pain is unimaginable. At times it feels impossible to face. Distractions used to work well enough, but life feels out of control and you’re exhausted. You're your own worst critic. You'd never talk to others the way you talk to yourself. From the outside looking in, you’ve got it “together", but it's hard to let people know the real you-even though you want to connect. Worries hijack your focus and ability to relax and even sleep. You move from being on edge to feeling numb and checked out. Life is a roller coaster and you want to feel balance.

Starting an inner journey on a path to self-healing and understanding can seem like a daunting task. It can be confusing, often goes against logic, and opens us up to the very things that caused us to retreat from a full life in the first place. I understand the trepidation that comes from starting on such a journey and the various obstacles that arise during this exploration. This journey does not have to be taken alone.

If you are a parent, struggling with your young child's big, baffling behaviors, I am here to help. If you have tried All. The. Things: every sticker chart, consequence, love and logic approach, boundaries, time outs & more and nothing has helped, then let's try something new. We need to go beyond the outdated, ineffective behavior management approach. It doesn't work. And together, I know that we can tip the balance, so that your parenting experience is less stressful, with less resistance, defiance, and overwhelm, to one that is filled with more joy, connection and ease. It is possible.

In working with you, my goal is to create the space for you to connect with your own innate wisdom. I will meet you where you are with presence, empathy, and non-judgment. Using mindfulness and somatic techniques we will examine and remain grounded in the present and then work backward to untangle how difficult or traumatic experiences of the past may be keeping you “stuck” in unhealthy thinking or behavioral patterns. I will act as an unwavering guide as you move toward freedom and growth.

I have worked with clients for over twenty years as a Licensed Professional Counselor and it is my passion to help each person foster a lighthearted relationship with the self, especially during times of need. Together, I work with my clients to discover self-compassion and internal strengths and resources that can often be hidden, forgotten, or clouded by the difficult experiences that life presents. From this place of self awareness, new skills and lasting change can form.

Hello! I am a Family Therapist & Therapeutic Educational Consultant specializing in healing from relationship difficulties and traumatic events. I work alongside my clients closely through the therapeutic journey to assist the self-advocacy, compassion, and patience necessary for efficacy of treatment goals over time. Using a foundation of neuropsychology and systems theories, I tailor my counseling for each client/family from body-based practices, internal parts work, and reprocessing modalities. With an emphasis on best practice and informed sensitive care, I skillfully guide the process of deep change and long lasting transformation.

Whether you are coping with anxiety, depression, life transitions, or relationship issues, I believe therapy can help you find the solutions to be present and move forward in your life. I will work with you to develop a trusting, grounded relationship so you have a safe place to examine what is personally challenging or no longer working in your life. Having a supportive base allows you to develop and successfully practice the skills, abilities, and perspectives that may feel too overwhelming to do so on your own. My hope is for clients to gain a sense of personal empowerment to successfully manage life's challenges.

These are especially challenging times we are living through and many can feel overwhelmed, stuck or have a sense that something is missing in their lives. You may be struggling to manage the stress, anxiety and worry that life causes so many of us. You may feel disconnected and resorting to unhealthy ways of coping such as addictive behaviors or substances. You may be experiencing conflict and confusion in your relationships. Now is the time to address that sense of lack, uncertainty and anxious feeling. I am here to support you in this journey towards becoming that version of yourself that you know is within you.

There will always be pain in life but you needn't suffer. You can live a life worth living even as you experience depression, anxiety, negative self evaluation and other psychological symptoms. And you can recover joy and laughter despite mental health issues. Learn practical skills for self regulation and develop mindfulness practices to sustain your ability to be present and effective in your daily life. I can help you with parenting, marital problems, family conflict, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. Together we will create a relationship in which you experience acceptance, compassion, empathy--and sometimes humor.

Is life passing you by? Worry, indecision, tension, nervousness, lack of confidence,compulsive behaviors, avoidance of people or situations- the pressures of life today make anxiety and depression familiar to us all. Feelings and relationships may seem messy and out of control or you may feel stuck in behaviors you don't like. Beliefs, patterns, and reactions based in the past may cause you to avoid the changes you most want to make. Recognizing these obstacles and developing the skills to work with them will allow you to develop the confidence in yourself that you need to live well

Most likely you're not looking for a therapist because you feel so awesome you want to pay someone to talk about it. I know that certainly wasn't the case for me - I first sought therapy because I was in a ton of pain (and not the physical kind). If that sounds familiar, first off, welcome. Second, although suffering is difficult, sometimes it is the only thing that can motivate us to make the positive changes necessary for true happiness. Although it might be external circumstances that caused you to start looking for a therapist, it is the internal work that sets us free.

I believe that often the suffering that people describe is born from an unwillingness to be present in the moment or to experience the truth of their experience. The truth can make us feel anxious all of the time, make our moods difficult to tolerate, or make us feel uncomfortable during everyday life circumstances.

“How can I reconnect intimately with my partner?” “How do we navigate having different levels of sexual desire?” “How do we rebuild trust after it’s been broken?” “Who am I and what does that mean?” These are all questions I have heard many iterations of in my therapy office, so if you’ve found yourself asking some of these same questions, you’re not alone. Whether you're tackling rebuilding trust, cultivating intimacy, exploring sexuality, deconstructing harmful self-narratives, or developing communication skills, it is an honor to walk alongside you during this journey, as you invest in yourself and your relationships.
