However you may have arrived here, I hope you find this as your invitation to enter a process of healing, renewed hope, and self-becoming. In therapy, we bring a sense of liberation to your emotions, experiences, and identity, and grow toward a sense of confidence to make the changes you desire. Together, we explore and understand your experiences and to tend to your goals through an affirming, collaborative, and caring process.

Your friends and family see you as having it all together but on the inside you are feeling unsure/anxious about yourself, your relationships and your career. This self doubt and unhappiness are taking up a lot of space in your daily life and interfering with you being the best version of yourself. It's normal to feel this way sometimes but you don't have to navigate through this alone! Starting therapy is making a positive commitment to yourself.

Are you facing life's complexities and challenges? I'm here to help. As a therapist, I support clients in addressing a range of issues—whether they are current or rooted in the past. I firmly believe that the relationship we have with ourselves is foundational to improving the quality of our lives. That is why I work with clients in helping them explore aspects of themselves that may be interfering with their growth and development. Oftentimes this can manifest in the form of unhelpful behaviors, unhealthy ways of coping, or clinical disorders. Whatever it may look like, we can work through it together.

Feeling stuck and unsure where to turn next? Wondering how to balance life's demands with self-care? Seeking strategies to navigate through challenges? I’m here to help you navigate through the issues of anxiety, depression, addictions, cultural clashes, complicated relationships, or major life transitions. My approach is primarily strength-based and I have 16+ years of clinical experience utilizing evidence-based modalities like CBT, DBT, and EMDR. Also, I am a tenured professor of psychology and director of clinical training.

As a modern woman, you have so many things on your plate! It can be challenging to balance both your work and relationships. You may be fed up with recurring anxiety or stress, feeling overwhelmed or exhausted, or like there is no way you can give one more piece of yourself to anyone. Your relationships may be floundering. One thing is for sure: you’re ready for a change! You’re ready to prioritize yourself and get some support. You’re ready to reconnect with the people who are important to you. Most of all, you’re ready to reconnect with yourself and create a life and lifestyle that is pleasurable and sustainable.

As a therapist, my goal is to help my clients heal from the traumas in their life to find true fulfillment and a more peaceful future. To do this, I place special emphasis on valuing the intelligence of each individual's journey. By attuning to your process with compassion, I provide a secure and nurturing environment which makes it easier to explore the challenges you face. My focus is to walk you through the process and help you to find what works best for you. I hold the space for you to become at peace with your past.

Are you feeling anxious or stressed and find it hard to get out of your head? Do you feel consumed with worry? Perhaps you feel stuck in a sad place from a past loss or a present difficulty or feel little hope for the future. These feelings can cause us to isolate and feel misunderstood by others. Many times, people feel beaten down by the world and end up turning their experiences inward, feeding a harsh self-critic who makes us doubt or judge ourselves, taking us away from the power of our inner resources. When we feel disconnected to ourselves, it is harder to build trust to connect to others and the larger world.

Are you finding the transition into motherhood challenging or overwhelming? Whether it be infertility, miscarriage, peri-natal/postpartum depression and anxiety, or simply the challenges of maintaining a sense of self as you care for your family, the most important thing you can do is seek support through this transitional time of your life. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients through each stage of transition. Whether it be a new job, a child, a relationship, or the loss associated with life transitions, I provide a safe space to explore one's feelings and get unstuck.

I primarily work with leaders and their family members to find healthy work/life rhythms, manage stress, heal from trauma, and develop strategies for health. As a pastor and licensed clinical psychologist (PSY35006), I work with individuals, couples, adolescents, and children who are facing varying challenges in life to find pathways through pain and into healing, growth, and vitality.

Now accepting new clients for telehealth or outdoor sessions. "Ultimately it is the quality of our relationships that will determine the quality of our lives" - Esther Perel. Our relationships are everything. When our connections with each are not what we hope for, it is natural to feel unsteady in the world or even sad or anxious. We often get in our own way from finding and maintaining our deepest connections with those we love. Looking to our past can give us clues to our future and how to "live our best lives" (I think Oprah coined that one!). I offer telehealth sessions as well as outdoor sessions in a local park TBD.

The human spirit has an amazing capacity for resilience, but sometimes it's too hard to access it on your own. When we encounter challenges and problems in relationships, in our workplaces, in our families, we can feel overwhelmed, hopeless, & stuck. It's not uncommon to feel depressed or anxious, or seek out unhealthy ways to function that mask the hurt. It's in situations like these that it takes great strength to reach out and ask for help--to seek someone to come alongside and enter into your experience; help shoulder the burden, and rediscover and connect with that resiliency.

Humorist, Mark Twain once wrote, "I've had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened." Left unchecked, fear-based thinking shapes reality and impedes potential and growth. The unknown and mixed messages surrounding the pandemic has reinforced this mindset and may have left you with perpetual feelings of sadness, uncertainty and doubt. The first step of our journey together is establishing a relationship built upon trust, respect, and safety. Through shared conversation, mindfulness, and self-regulating techniques, we create a bond that honors your unique story and circumstance.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I have served clients of all ages, in all life stages, and of various backgrounds. My therapeutic skills have been honed by solid training, my own emotional work, and from walking with clients who have allowed me into their sacred process of growth for the last 27 years.

Life can be full of difficult moments, unexpected transitions, and painful relationships. They may leave you feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or as though you’ve lost who you are. You may be finding yourself resorting back to old patterns during times of stress, even if those patterns no longer serve you well. Although you may be feeling stuck, you’re sure that you want things to change. Together, we can walk through your experiences side by side. You deserve a space in which you feel heard and supported, and where we can work towards gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, your experiences, and your relationships.

You are reaching out because things don't feel right and you don't feel good. Do you struggle with irritability or sadness? Maybe you have a trauma history that could be impacting your relationships, health or parenting? I can assist you in making connections between past experiences and current behaviors. I believe in the healing power of relationship and connection. So often we struggle because of barriers that inhibit successful relationships with our children, parents, partner or peers. I can help you to see where the barriers and unsuccessful behaviors come from to be able to make lasting and positive change.

My goal is to help you uncover your potential and lead a life that feels worth celebrating. While we can't change the past, we can work together to better understand your personal history and to resolve some of the challenges that remain. By using an approach that is specific to you and your needs, we can address long-standing emotional obstacles, behavioral patterns and perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Together, we can focus both on how to make concrete changes to provide immediate relief while also getting to the root of issues to foster long-lasting change.

We are in it to win it! Let's work together to bring healing in your life, for your children, in your relationship, and for your family! We approach our work with an attitude of hope and acceptance; and from a holistic, attachment focused, strategic, and trauma informed framework.
