Are you a young adult woman experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, and even trauma? Self-discovery and creating/finding identity are goals I work best with. In my most recent job, I have found that domestic violence survivors and women who experience issues specific to being a woman have piqued my interest. As a therapist, the most rewarding thing is to guide women toward embracing themselves for who they are, heal past wounds, and empower them to live fully and authentically. I believe I have been given a purpose in this world to serve others, and that's what I was created to do.

When things aren’t right and you don’t know what to do, it can be comforting to know that it doesn’t have to stay that way. When you are overwhelmed it can be hard to make day to day decisions let alone navigate the big picture. Whether you are struggling with anxiety or grief, going through a major life transition or loss, or simply wanting to feel like yourself again, I am here to be with you through that process.

Everyone experiences times when they may feel overwhelmed, confused, or anxious. I want to help you with those challenges. My clients tell me that my honesty, openness, enthusiasm and energy are a refreshing difference from therapy of the past where they received very little feedback. In my 24 years of experience as a therapist, I have developed a nurturing, goal oriented approach. I believe in active participation by clients in the counseling process. We will set obtainable goals together and ways to measure progress. I employ different techniques specific to clients' needs.

I help people recovering from traumatic experiences in relationships and I offer guidance and practical skills to take home. People come because they had a difficult childhood and were hurt by people they were supposed to trust. People who have felt anxious most of their lives and don't know how to stop repeating mistakes. Sometimes clients come as a couple trying to heal from infidelity, built up walls, and pain. These couples are tired of feeling lonely inside a relationship. Couples who want useful communication skills to start healing and feeling connected again, to move forward. Look at my website to find out more.
