Currently accepting online clients! Are you struggling to find pleasure in your life? Are you relationships, connections, and sex life feeling like a chore? Are these thoughts weighing you down, triggering past memories, and making it even harder to go about your daily life? I provide mental health treatment that is tailored to fit your needs, desires, and address your struggles with sexual health. My approach is person-centered, empathetic, and judgement free.

After years of praying for God to lead you to your partner, you have finally found the love of your life. And while you are grateful for them, you are also feeling confused or discouraged because your relationship is not what you expected it to be. The good news is, you don’t need to have it all figured out in order to feel relief from struggles in your relationship. I support Christian couples and individuals who are deeply connected to their faith and would like to incorporate their beliefs into counseling.

Growing up can be tough, and at times it might feel like everything you try when supporting your child isn't working, leaving you frustrated, tired and maybe even overwhelmed. I work to support children, teens and young adults as they work to conquer their current life obstacles and nurture their inner strengths.

The relationship or the fit between therapist and client is key to healing. It takes both trust and courage to seek to change, even when we suffer and want badly to feel better. I truly believe that your best therapy comes when you are able to get in touch with what is most authentic for yourself. It is my goal as your therapist to provide safe, non judgmental space for you to explore what it is that will make you and your life the happiest. Not what you 'should' do, but what you truly desire despite the myriad voices of self talk that attempt to deny what the larger part of you is drawn to.

Do you constantly put yourself last? Are you presenting your best self at work, to your friends, and family? Is your health beginning to suffer? When any of these areas of life are toxic or even just out of balance we can feel "off" and not effective at anything. Over time we can develop low self-esteem, poor coping skills, and feel like a failure. I work with people who are afraid or overwhelmed by the thought of making a change to their job, relationship, or putting themselves first.

How would you like to live a vital, fulfilling life and reduce the effects of stress and anxiety that keep you stuck? I offer integrative mind/body approaches to health and wellness, including ACT and Mindfulness-based psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, a tailored use of meditation and body awareness techniques, suggestions for lifestyle adjustments, and emphasis on Being in the moment. I am also interested in existential issues like aging, transitions and losses, relationships/communication problems, and managing changes.

Are you an "overthinker" or overachiever wanting to work through harsh attitudes you hold about yourself, or seeking to resolve pain from the past? Perhaps you need relief from intense worry, anxiety, PTSD/complex trauma, overwhelming emotions, depression, trouble sleeping, or nightmares. Or you might be seeking to grow as a person and needing to talk through the complexities of your most important relationships with someone trained to ask just the right questions. If these are the kinds of issues you’re grappling with now, therapy is a wonderful place to start, and one of the most meaningful investments you can make in yourself.

Are you struggling with navigating life stressors? Do you feel exhausted and drained? Do you feel like you are ignoring or hiding parts of yourself in order to survive? There are times in our lives when we feel burnt out and have lost sight of our purpose. I believe these times are an open invitation for you to explore what is going on within you that is getting in the way of you being your most genuine, productive and effective self. It is a time to review what is working, examine why you are stuck and to discover your desires that have been long buried. I am here to help.

With 25+ years of experience and training, I believe I can help you. I treat adults and couples. While people are each unique in their own way, they bring to therapy similar issues, including: Anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, early childhood trauma, and a basic desire to understand themselves better. Understanding yourself better,and moving into your future with confidence, is an overarching focus in my therapeutic approach. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other therapeutic techniques to help my clients achieve their goals. I teach people how to quiet their brain and their bodies with meditation and breathing practices.

The landscape of our social world has shifted drastically, and you're finding yourself struggling to manage. You want freedom from the overwhelm and despair keeping you up at night. The discomfort of uncertainty and insecurity have become almost unbearable. You’re seeking support to help you feel okay again. We all have the innate capacity to heal from loss, to process trauma, and discover our truth. Therapy is a safe space for you to feel seen & understood, to reconnect with vitality, and develop the tools you need to create the life you desire.

The search for a therapist often begins at the point when the pain and struggle outweigh the capacity to cope on your own. Whether the search for a therapist is for yourself or your child, to work on a specific challenge or to work through years of challenges, finding relief from the pain and struggle and a path for growth is often the end goal. My intention is to function as a compassionate guide to find the answers within you, perhaps buried under stress and trauma responses which allowed you to survive to this point in your journey.

I work with adults, preteens and adolescents with anxiety, depression, mood disturbances and trauma; and utilize evidence-based interventions including cognitive-behavioral, dialectical, motivational and psychodynamic treatments.

Through a respectful process of listening and questions, I work with you to help clarify your goals and values. I will help you find new perspectives and restore a healthy narrative that does not include feelings of blame or shame. We will work together to develop better skills at managing difficult emotions, such as sadness, disappointment, pain, and anger. We will learn to nurture feelings that are healthy and not those that can get us stuck. I hope to work with you to discover a sense of self-compassion and flexibility.

When each moment is a battle to stay afloat, the future may seem bleak. When you are depressed and anxious and your thoughts tell you these feelings are never going to end, you need to know this is a distortion that is completely untrue. These feelings of hopelessness and helplessness are common with depression. Imagine getting through this dark period and transitioning into time where you not only feel better, but you feel even better than before.

Transition, trauma, and transformation are my specialties. Life transition, career transition, transition in relationships, racial trauma, the trauma of loss, sexual assault trauma, imposter syndrome, and personal transformation. Much comes with each and using the mind, body, soul connection I support you in finding healing, and a new sense of being. Healing is done in connection with others through embodied connection, awareness, and meaning or faith. Together through connection, you can bring healing into your life.
