Some seasons of life are more difficult than others; through these difficult times I look to honor your story, while valuing who you are. My primary specialty is grief and loss counseling, where I offer safety, warmth and empathy to aid you in the healing process. I also love working with college students, and specialize in concerns surrounding identity development. I work with clients ages 24-50 and have experience with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, childhood abuse, trauma, life transitions, lack of confidence, perfectionism or stress-management. I am also a trained EMDR therapist.

I am currently welcoming new clients, both individuals and couples. Going to a counselor or therapist when you are feeling sad, anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or simply out of sorts should be as normal as going to the doctor when you have the flu. I see myself partnering with you in a therapeutic relationship as guide and counselor, providing empathy and compassion as we explore issues and concerns, together, along the way. My approach is holistic, based upon the impact of the mind-body connection on well-being. My work background includes ten years as a teacher and twelve years as a hospice medical social worker.

I believe everyone deserves to be content/happy in life and in their relationships. At times, this can be challenging and people tend to get "stuck." Asking for help can be hard, but so rewarding when you take the risk to change and build awareness. With professional skills, loads of compassion, and a collaborative effort I can definitely help adults, teenagers, and families in figuring out how to get "unstuck" and enjoy their lives to the fullest. I have extensive experience working with anxiety, grief, depression, and PTSD. I particularly like working with clients, helping them free themselves from the trauma of the past.

As a systems oriented psychotherapist,
I believe that we are connected to and affected by those around us. Our families of origin,
communities,cultures,workplaces and families of choice impact our lives and sense of self.
Relationships and experiences we have had in the past influence who we are and how we relate to the world. To live with the greatest joy and productivity we must heal past relational traumas and bring to consciousness effects they have had in our lives. By doing so, we are free to make thoughtful choices about how we live our lives and relate to others.

We all become (at some point) shackled to a stuck version of ourselves. Being vulnerable enough to choose something other than our perfectly practiced persona can seem ~impossible. Is your ~asker too broken to learn another way? It takes courage to recreate, redefine, and let go of what doesn't work! "I Don't Know," become very important words when we choose to sail the rough seas...and yet, the risk can be so beautiful. It becomes excruciatingly clear that the pain of staying where we are, must become more acute than leaping into something wonderfully new!

Life's transitions can be challenging. Contemplating change requires courage and has the potential to be rewarding. I strive to develop an environment built upon confidentiality and respect. People seek me out for counseling for many reasons, including: Identifying ways to experience more enjoyment and security in life, the challenges of life's transitions, relationship struggles, addressing addictions and other unhealthy lifestyles, depression and anxiety.

Over the years I see that I am very well-suited to work with clients who are experiencing a major life transition. These include changes in relationship status, employment, health, sexual/ gender identity, as well as retirement/aging concerns. While transitions can bring new opportunities, such changes also come with an array of losses, endings and goodbyes. Transitions can generate challenging symptoms, including a sense of grieving, starting over and/or confronting the unknown. Life can lead one to a place where it pushes you to explore your personality and life choices, and make new sense of your life experiences.

Most of us have difficulties being able to live the life we would like to live. Sometimes it can be hard to see what within us is getting in the way of achieving our goals. We do not exist in a vacuum, other people play a part in why we are who we are, and it takes people to help us create lasting change. My focus is to meet you where you are and help you grow right there, to clear away what is confusing and stifling, and to help you be wholly yourself. I also specialize in ADHD skills building and Career Counseling.

I am not accepting new couples at this time. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, it is my desire to help clients experiencing anxiety or depression, learn ways to not only cope, but overcome. I enjoy assisting clients learn healthier communication and conflict resolution skills, and concurrently learn how to cope with life stressors better. I strive to help my clients gain a better understanding of themselves, and their problematic and possibly self destructive patterns. Sometimes just a new perspective on an old problem can help propel us toward making healthy changes in our lives.

Many people who are new to therapy understandably want to know what to expect before their first session. In brief, you talk and I listen, that’s the foundation. We'll get to know each other and we'll decide if we work well together. I'll ask questions. I’ll tell you what I hear and offer feedback. We’ll collaborate. You’ll correct me when I’m off and we’ll work to get to the bottom of things. Notably, I’ll direct your attention toward the different ways you feel, moment-to-moment, because these feelings help reveal who we are and what we need.
