Can't get a break from anxiety or depression? My specialty is helping clients notice old patterns that keep them stuck. Once we accept & understand our experience, then we can work towards change. Most people may not realize the root cause of their constant worry, panic or sadness, that's why I'm here to help so we can both discover what's holding you back from feeling healthy. CBT, mindfulness, EMDR & psychodynamic therapy are approaches that can help us become aware of areas that keep us stuck. Healing our hurts opens us to new ways of thinking & responding to life, inviting us to notice possibilities rather than limitations.

I have experience working with a range of clients; some that are motivated towards specific goals, some that are stressed/overwhelmed by life's circumstances, and some that are struggling with various mental health issues. I have experience working with extensive trauma histories and have done a lot of family work as well. I'm comfortable walking alongside you in whatever your therapy endeavor may consist of.

***Accepting new clients for telehealth only***. Let me pour you a cup of tea or coffee, and let's talk.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS VIA TELEHEALTH. Many of us want to change, grow, to be more connected in our relationships, & to live more fully the life we desire. Yet, often it feels so hard to navigate just how to do that--especially when we go through loss, transitions, disappointments, or events that seem to rock us and/or our relationships. For many, the COVID pandemic has been quite disorienting. I believe the therapeutic space is powerful & transformative. My therapeutic style is to offer a safe, authentic place where you are valued for who you are & where you are seen for more than just the issues that bring you into counseling.

*Not currently accepting new clients.* Are you feeling angry, irritable, or dissatisfied with your life? Are you having problems in your relationships that don't ever seem to get better? Are there things from your past that keep getting in your way? If you struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and/or spiritual concerns, I would look forward to working with you.

Therapy can be a very personal journey and it takes a brave person to reach out for help. Over the years, I have seen how beneficial therapy can be when a client and therapist come along side one other and work together to solve problems, develop insight, and attain goals. What I have learned is that an empathetic, non-judgmental environment can bring about feelings of safety and lay the groundwork to do some very important therapeutic work. The therapeutic environment is very important to healing and the therapeutic relationship is a crucial part of this process.

We all want to be our best selves in life. Sometimes, due to a variety of circumstances, we become stuck in patterns of thinking or behaving that make it difficult to achieve our life goals. During these times, a therapeutic relationship can help to reignite passions, bring our best selves back into focus, and inspire forward movement once again.

I have worked in the addictions and behavioral health fields for over twenty years. I am CBT-oriented but use an eclectic approach when treating clients.

You are struggling through day-to-day life, thinking that everyone else has a handle on things but you. You spend your nights worrying and your days constantly on edge.

You can return to feeling life is worth living. Usually people want to kill themselves because of a loss - loss of a relationship, finances, career, identity or even the loss of a loved one.
