Life is a series of challenges, difficulties, and conflicts. Your response to these experiences can make or break you. A path filled with openness, curiosity, and a passion for learning - what has been called a growth mindset - fosters mastery, resilience, and well-being. A resistance toward growth and change, a fixed mindset, can lead to fear, failure, and mistakes. As a therapist who has embraced the growth mindset, I strongly believe that in creating an environment of emotional safety, acceptance, and understanding, these qualities can be cultivated into a pathway of healing, change, and amazing growth.

Are you struggling with relationship issues? Are your loved ones weighing on your own mental health? Those closest to us can be our greatest asset, but often these relationships can be fraught with pain. I specialize in therapeutic modalities that support positive interpersonal health, and can provide healing and growth that affects the whole relationship. I believe we all have times when we need help journeying through life’s pains, and that through working together these problems are resolved and families restored.

Life is about relationships...Especially in a time of pandemic and national upheaval.  "...the blows seem to fall with increasing regularity".  Cracks in the best of relationships appear in these times of crisis.Unfinished issues and problems of the past with all the new challenges of these troubled times are right in our faces.  But...You can learn the skills you need to: talk effectively, solve problems, settle old resentments, renew commitment and trust, come to terms with addictions in your life. I If you need an expert, calm, listening professional who can help you manage these difficult times, please call. Times are available.

We are in this together. Uncertainty for the future: our health, our careers, our spouses, our children. The past seems to offer no guidance for what is to come. Loneliness and anxiety were already at record highs before the pandemic and the fall of the economy. Helping people with feelings of isolation and loneliness as well as nervous anxiety have been a substantial part of my work for over two decades. It has been a privilege to help individuals and couples heal the fractures in the foundation of their lives. Together we can find the solutions to your challenges and face what is to come with a sense of courage and confidence

My goal as your therapist is to walk alongside you and support you. I understand that you may be feeling overwhelmed with what life has sent your way. When stress or doubt impair you, the ability to move forward can become simply overwhelming. My background and training have allowed a comfort level in my approach to addiction, severe diagnosis, and trauma. I treat the whole person, working together to resolve and increase daily satisfaction. We will collaborate to identify the skills needed for you to grow.

With this nonstop world effecting each person differently, I enjoy working with others where they are in their lives and where they want to be. It is my honor to work and support people in their journey on finding who they are, where they want to be, making sense what is going on, and getting back to their values that supports their internal and external world. I adroitly work with adolescences and adults to effectively manager symptoms of addiction, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and impulsivity actions.

We are defined by our stories. Working from a Narrative Therapy perspective helps me to support clients in a way that is unique and different from most traditional therapy perspectives. YOU are not the problem, the PROBLEM is the problem, and it may be time to develop new tools and skills to develop a different story for your life, one that you authored and can live by. Lets work together on helping you to develop the new story that will empower you to live the life you want!

Having a guide who has experienced life's traumas, and hardships, provides a level of understandings that fosters caring insights. Which encourages deep exploration toward self-discovery. Uncovering internal wisdoms. Where personal courage can lead, allowing an authentic way of being, which becomes the healing process.

TRAUMA-exposed individuals and couples: My ideal clients include individuals battling trauma, anxiety, and depression, as well as couples facing life's complexities like demanding careers and family dynamics. They seek a supportive environment to share openly and aim for resilience, healthier relationships, and personal growth. They value a therapist who offers expert guidance and understands their unique circumstances, supporting their journey individually and as a couple.

The journey through life can feel like a roller-coaster with steep climbs, sudden drops, and twists and turns all over! Children, adults, couples, and families alike can all experience difficulties while on this journey and it is important to know that these experiences are a normal part of life. Should anyone feel they need a helping hand to make it through this journey, I encourage them to reach out. Whether it be battling depression, past trauma, school/work difficulties, anxiety, family, or relationship struggles, I believe no one should feel they have to face these challenges alone.
