"It is not uncommon to feel alone in our challenges, I believe it is important for us to feel that we are Not alone." I love the opportunity to help those individuals and their family members who are ready for change, whether that be in day to day living, problem solving, thinking patterns, relationships, resurfacing memories, repetitive behaviors, anger or mood imbalance. I have been a practicing therapist since 2004 and have treated multiple types of anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment issues, abuse/neglect, PTSD and other mood and behavioral disorders. I also work with first responders and veterans.

Let's begin by identifying your talents and strengths to help you live, laugh, love, and let go of past hurts.

My career is predominately integrated directly in reproductive and other medical specialties. I provide a specific focus on health psychology, exploring the relationship our health has on our physical wellness and vice versa. This programming remains specialized and not offered in many locations. As such, I strive to be accessible and created this small private practice to offer a sense of health psychology in settings that do not have integrated medicine. Further, I am committed to providing service for those who face barriers in seeing me in person and offer consultation remotely via Video Counseling.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma and adjustment to life changes. I also specialize in self-esteem enhancement. As a mental health provider, I hold a firm belief in human capability and resiliency. As a therapist, I focus on helping clients utilize their potential. I have 10 years of experience, as a mental health clinician. I provide therapy for teens and adults who struggle with a variety circumstances.

I specialize in helping my clients of all ages find solutions, develop resilience, and establish personal growth and stability through compassionate, empathetic and individualized therapy.

I love what I do and feel it a privilege to help people find the freedom, healing, and passion their hearts yearn for. Please call me for a free initial consultation and we can discuss options.

I believe every woman, man and child has infinite value and worth. Whether we have experienced feelings of worthlessness because of our own actions or because of the actions of others, developing self-love is the pathway toward true joy. When we experience trauma, we develop false ideas about ourselves and the world that keep us in a place of fear, anger, and hopelessness. We make decisions based on those beliefs that cause ourselves and others despair. When we learn to love ourselves completely, we can find true healing within ourselves and the world in a deeply powerful way.

My approach to counseling is to cater to you as an individual. No clients are alike and so no treatments should be alike. I draw from solution-focused, existential-humanistic, cognitive behavioral therapies. I have specific experience in depression, interpersonal relationships, substance use, anger management, parental issues, and women issues.

Military Therapist focusing on trauma, skill building, and mediation. I believe mental health is simple, yet it can be frustrating because it is also complex. Too often we look for magical or quick fixes for problems when the solutions are very common. Usually it is a number of things that create the problem, not just one contributor and often our society treats the symptom not the cause. As a society we should be focusing on preventative health, getting in front of the problem, and not waiting until it has already occurred to seek help. Having said that... there is always a solution, it just may not be what you expected.

My goal is to walk with my clients along the path toward their best life, whatever that may be. I believe therapy should not be approached in a methodical one size fits all manner. No one specific modality will work with every client. I choose to focus on your unique journey and individual needs and we will work together to find a tailored approach to achieve your goals. Therapists do not solve problems, rather we help people as they define the kind of life they want, then provide them with direction, new skills, insights, ideas, paradigms, behaviors, and attitudes. It’s an honor to be a part of this journey with you.

I believe that when an individual starts talking about what is hurting them, healing can start. I have been helping people for 20 years and want to help you, your children and your family cope with life's issues. I have worked with children, adults, families and couples with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, fear and anger. When people feel guilt and shame they can make decisions based on those feelings. Acceptance of yourself is one of the keys to healing those things that hurt.I enjoy helping people learn to love themselves and learn skills to help with life's uncertain issues.

I feel very strongly that there are really no unsolvable problems. Even when our only choice is to change our perspective, we can change the way we interact with problems to make them solvable. As a therapist, I am passionate about optimizing on existing strengths and finding creative ways to unlock more. I believe that when a person is able to truly feel that they are worth the effort it takes to make positive change, change is possible no matter how difficult.

Using a wide array of tools to empower my clients, we work together to discover what makes them unique and wonderful while healing and overcoming barriers to greater joy and satisfaction in life.

Life is beautiful and we are capable of exploring all aspects of it: the good and the difficult. Both things are necessary to become a strong and better "us"! Though there is so much good, life also comes with unanticipated 'rocks in our backpack'. This can leave us confused, hurt, and feeling displaced. Effective therapy is about several factors: experience, expertise, a clear diagnosis, concise and appropriate goals, and the tools needed to effectively navigate difficulty along the journey of life.

First and foremost, I love what I do and I love this field. I am a clinical and mental health counseling graduate student intern. I often work with adolescents (16+) and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, life changes, LGBTQIA, marital/couple issues (i.e. communication, parenting, finances), and domestic violence victims. I find clients who are ready and willing to take that scary first step in seeking counseling are often filled with relief and gratitude. One of my favorite quotes is from a poem by Douglas Malloch where he states, “the strong winds, the strong trees.” I believe we have all experienced our own forms
