These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, anger management, stress management, addictions, with specialty in nicotine and smoking cessation.
What motivates me to be a therapist is my desire to help clients maximize their potential for personal growth. I work with individuals, families and couples to help them in their journey of discovering their innate abilities of solving their own problems. In this way I will direct them in learning what obstacles they create for themselves and how to use their abilities to evoke change. My preference is in-person, but am willing to do Telehealth, as needed, after initial in-person assessment, in-person offers valuable energy exchange necessary for the human connection between therapist and client. I'm fully vaccinated.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and a married mother of two young adult daughters. My areas of focus are anxiety, depression, stress management, women's issues and young adult issues. I use a client-centered and solution focused approach to counseling, based on a cognitive-behavioral model of emotions and behavior. Client-centered means that I strive to provide a warm, compassionate and judgment-free environment. Solution focused means that we will focus on specific problems or goals, and work toward developing skills and strategies to solve those problems and reach those goals.

When I was a junior in high school, I began to struggle with severe anxiety and panic attacks. Even with a great support system, trying to “take a deep breathe” when panicking was just not cutting it. I needed to go deeper than that. It wasn’t until I found a counselor that allowed me to feel comfortable sharing my insecurities and fears, that I learned to take control of my worries. I instantly felt more at ease when I knew I was going to see my counselor. That is when I realized: I want to be that sense of warmth and guidance for others.

I love being a therapist. I love helping people to find greater understanding of why they protect themselves in the ways that they do. Often these protective parts may feel trapped in these roles. Building harmonious relationships with these parts, leading from the most authentic Selves allows us to have greater liberation and fulfillment in our lives and relationships. The ways you protect yourself and survive make sense. Your pain matters. You deserve not to have to hold it alone.

In a world where anxiety, depression, PTSD, and challenges to self-esteem and relationships are increasingly common, the quest for genuine connection and understanding can seem daunting, especially for those of us in the queer community. If you're navigating relationship difficulties, societal injustices - such as transphobia, homophobia, racism, discrimination, and inequity, or the impact of violence and chronic trauma, know that your feelings are valid and you're not alone. The need for safer spaces where we can be our most authentic selves and where our identities are affirmed and celebrated is more crucial than ever.
