Take your first step to wellness. I believe in providing a place of compassion and confidentiality where you can share your personal concerns and struggles. I provide assistance to help you improve on those areas that seem to be holding you from living a fulfilled and happy life.

I enjoy working with a variety of life stages( adolescent, adult, senior), with challenges that range from easily addressed life dilemmas to those who need longer term therapy for such issues as early abuse/neglect and PTSD. I believe that safety, trust, and time are necessary to help people to make significant movement toward wholeness, integration of self,and a more fulfilling life. Brain Body Research has proven that the body is adversely affected by Chronic/Severe Stress and Limiting Beliefs about self and one's life situation.

After having worked as a school counselor at the grade school level for nine years, and at the high school level for fifteen, I transitioned to working with adults in a clinical setting, twelve years ago. I have experience in meeting with people to work through relationship issues, process emotions, and learn new tools for dealing with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Life can sometimes get pretty messy. This is why whenever you find yourself in emotional pain and hurt –there is hope. Life is difficult and we are not meant to go through this journey alone.

I strive to provide a warm, safe environment in which you can feel safe to share and process current experiences and past experiences that may be causing difficulty to your system. I believe that positive experiences and relationships are central to trauma recovery and are important to general well-being. I believe that psychotherapy is a journey of self-discovery. I believe treatment is a creative process. We will work together to develop new insights that inform change. I currently do not have openings but I am happy to add you to my waitlist if that is your preference.

I am licensed clinical professional counselor with years of experience working in community counseling mental health facilities and in private practice. I have an extensive background working with clients who are living with mental illnesses, such as: mood disorders, anxiety disorders, attention deficit disorders, personality disorders, clients with mood dysregulation issues, problematic thought processes, and behavioral issues. I have also worked with clients that are merely going through a difficult transition in life.

Do you often feel alone, like no one understands you or 'gets' you? Do you struggle with healthy, meaningful relationships? Do you feel like something "isn't quite right" or is missing in your life? Have you tried therapy before and it didn't work out? For every client that walks through my door I help feel less alone and ease emotional burdens. I help you navigate the most difficult hardships in your life by providing a safe and supportive healing space. I help you establish healthy, fulfilling and meaningful relationships, starting with YOU. I look forward to meeting you and walking this healing journey together!

Hello there! I'm here to offer you a warm welcome and introduce myself! I am passionate about helping individuals navigate the complexities of their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. I firmly believe in the power of therapy to create positive change and provide support during challenging times. With a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I strive to create a safe and comfortable space for my clients to explore their feelings and gain a deeper understanding of themselves. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or any other mental health concerns, we got you!

I have had a variety of experiences working with people who have had different types of problems. I have worked with individuals having problems ranging from anxiety, depression, anger management, chronic habitual problems, compulsivity, bipolar, sexual addiction, sexual offending/deviant behaviors, and psychotic issues. The value of therapy is that clients can come in with issues and with work receive some results in the form of change. It is my job to help facilitate that process. I believe in helping people work out their problems and provide them with the skill sets to help them accomplish their goals.

I use a client-centered approach that is personalized and authentic during the treatment process. Together, we identify and develop personal strengths that allow you to create a more balanced lifestyle. I work closely with treatment professionals in the field to ensure a comprehensive and caring treatment process. I utilize several evidenced based therapies including CBT-E and Family Based Treatment. I am trained in Brainspotting Trauma Therapy. Additionally, I have a Yoga Teacher Certification to help work to restore mind body balance.

Maybe you have been to a therapist or two and haven't been able to dig as deep as you would like to go in order to move into your most authentic sense of being. Perhaps you struggle with a sense of purpose, self-esteem, have a sense of emptiness or loneliness, or are feeling confused about next steps. You will likely find me to be a good fit if you are looking to do much deeper work to finally resolve pain from the past as opposed to merely coping with it. Our work will be guided by a vision of long-term mental health, growing into authenticity, and creating a sense of emotional regulation that you may not have experienced yet.

Are you feeling like you're lost in a maze of love and relationships? Whether you're in the early stages of dating, going through a tough breakup, dealing with the ups and downs of a long-term partnership, or coping with the aftermath of an affair, I get that each relationship journey is unique and challenging in its own way. It's normal to feel frustrated, hurt, betrayed, or confused, especially when trust, communication, and intimacy issues come into play. But no matter how stuck you feel, or how much you're doubting your own emotions, I'm here to tell you that you're not alone in this journey. I'm here to walk alongside you.

I have immediate openings for older adolescents, adults, and older adults. Do you find yourself asking why life turned out the way it did?
