I strive to make counseling accessible for everyone, especially folks who are exploring it for the first time. If you’re new to counseling, and maybe a little scared or skeptical, I would love to meet with you. And if you’ve been in therapy for years and years and feel like it “hasn’t helped,” I’d love to explore that with you as well. In my perspective (and experience), healing happens in the context of relationship, therefore trust and authenticity are going to be paramount in our connection. I strive to create a judgement-free and compassionate space so that you can be unabashedly real and messily human in our sessions.

Many of us feel unprepared to deal with the stressors, transitions and difficulties that occur throughout our lives. I have many years of experience helping people traverse these issues and develop the tools to cope and to thrive in the face of these challenges. I will work with you to examine the underlying issues that have led you to therapy and support your efforts to make meaningful changes in your life. I offer a warm, safe and non-judgmental environment in which you can explore your thoughts and feelings, while helping you push toward a deeper understanding of the patterns driving your behaviors, choices and relationships.

Hello beautiful human! Are you ready? Is it time to finally feel better? Let's team up and figure out what you need to improve your life. You are the expert on You, I'm just going to be there to help you learn and explore. You will feel heard, seen and validated. Therapy can be hard work, but totally worth it when you begin to see yourself through more loving eyes. We will walk together as you learn to heal and trust yourself, and come through the other side with the confidence to reach your goals.

I can help you relieve stress, trauma, anxiety, depression and pain by engaging your mind-body connection. I am deeply intuitive; offering compassion, calmness and creativity to adult clients in an interactive and energizing style. With 32 years of experience, including 26 in health related settings, I am ready to assist you with medical challenges and those positive health choices you have been wanting to make. My training and experience includes relational and body-oriented therapy, hypnotherapy, medical concerns and energy psychology. Clients find room to relax, heal and grow in my peaceful office oasis.

I work primarily with individuals who feel bound in aversion toward themselves. Whether concerns manifest as self-hatred, shame, relational difficulties, terminal regret, questions around spirituality, depression, anxiety, or in any number of other ways, I wholeheartedly trust there is more to the story than meets the eye. I support our exploration by opening a receptive and creative space for truths that might not feel at home elsewhere. As we shift painful thought patterns out of isolation and into dialogue between two minds, new and surprising truths emerge. These can form the basis for new peace and possibilities.

I am a marriage and family therapist who helps couples, families, and individual adults, navigate through challenging transitions in life. My work is focused on helping people get unstuck from unhelpful patterns in themselves and in their primary relationships, and in amplifying their strengths and resiliency.

I help people overcome anxiety, stress and depression, and I work with individuals and couples to build stronger and healthier relationships. I see teenagers, adults, couples, and families. I work at uncovering and breaking unhealthy cycles, negative self-perceptions, and generational habits that get in the way of your happiness.

I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to identify issues and goals to determine the best course of treatment and develop a treatment plan. I see the most progress with clients who are ready to talk about change or ready for change in their relationships, families, or individual life. However, clients who are not sure what issues may exist but are open to exploring unhappy/dysfunctional parts of their life is a great start.

Are you tired of mistreating the people you love? Don't you wish you could change? - Do you often find yourself irritable and angry at the people around you? - Ready to lash out and get upset even at the smallest reason? You are not alone! Many people are in similar shoes. There is hope! Anger management, learning to respond differently to situations that make you upset don't have to be difficult. It can be eye-opening; you will learn a great deal about yourself and it can be fun. I offer individual therapy for issues regarding relationships and anger.

Seeking to better understand yourself and your relationships takes strength and courage. Sometimes the stories we tell ourselves need to be examined and redefined. Our past experiences may be holding us back & need to be processed in order to move forward. I strive to build a deep and compassionate relationship with my clients to create a safe place that welcomes vulnerability, authenticity, and growth. I believe that each person holds the answer to whatever obstacle is holding them back and through the therapeutic process they are enabled to find their own autonomy, voice, and identity.

I am particularly interested in supporting families in their relationships with one another and I believe in encouraging choices that are nurturing to all family members.

Therapy involves getting to know ourselves better - our beliefs, our feelings and reactions, our relationships, and the patterns we live by. I work with people who want to understand themselves better and make more positive life decisions. Many of my clients find themselves continually falling into negative patterns with friends, family, partners, academics, and career choices. Others struggle with confidence, self-worth, and an incessant inner critic. My work with couples and families focuses on increasing effective communication, and finding alternatives to negative patterns of interaction.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a love for engaging with people on a relational level. I seek to get to know my clients through intentional, empathetic listening.

The diversity of my background and life experience help me to relate well in multicultural settings, as well as understand the nature and process of dealing with abuse, trauma, and attachment issues. I also enjoy coaching individuals toward attaining their personal and professional aspirations.

I have worked with tens of thousands of clients with issues ranging from trauma, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, communication, parenting, work frustrations, suicidality, sudden life change, and more.

I believe in the importance of living in this moment that we’ve been given, and I want you to experience the abundant joy and freedom that comes from God. Don’t wait another day; invest in yourself today. I look forward to working with you to overcome past barriers so you can fully enjoy your life each moment.

Greetings, I aim to assist you in transforming suffering into growth and strength -- to turn lead into gold. Therapy is a deep and beautiful , if sometimes uncomfortable, journey. Therapy is a journey of awakening, healing and integrating powerful changes. For many years, as therapist, professor of Psychology, spiritual mentor and supervisor I have helped people lead more meaningful, joyful & fulfilling lives. I welcome people of varied lifestyles, ethnicities, cultural backgrounds, highly sensitive individuals, artists, gifted individuals, and couples. We each have a true self who when nurtured can flouish.

I believe that people innately have the internal resources to meet life's challenges. We all have great potential for growth and change when we are empowered to access these resources within ourselves. But it is in relationship with others that these resources are inspired and engaged. My approach to therapy is collaborative. My hope is to help create the conditions where you feel encouraged and supported to explore the themes that are present in your life.
