Are you feeling depressed, unmotivated, worried, or stressed? Are you not living the life you desire. Can't seem to get on track? Do you want to create greater balance in your life and live more fully and freely? I would like to help. I am a clinical psychologist and work with individuals to promote healing, change, and personal growth. I provide guidance through careful listening, compassionate support, and enthusiasm. I consider you an active partner in creating the changes you desire. My treatment approach is genuine, positive, and non-judgmental and works to promote active curiosity, discovery, and growth.

It is my desire to assist people in the process of change and to help redirect the course of their lives. I am truly devoted to helping every client to walk down that path to a more fulfilling and peaceful life.

The beginning of healing for your anxiety, depression, trauma, or difficult relationship is willingness to seek help. When a problem seems bigger than you, I'd like to help you understand your own story and find your way back to wholeness. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, childhood pain, life transitions, and helping others grow toward healthier relationships. I believe you are the expert in your life, and I want to help you make sense of your past and present so you can have a fulfilling future.

My ideal client is one who has dealt with anxiety and/or depression throughout life. The clients who have tried therapy periodically but struggle to maintain a stable mood. Clients who are uncomfortable in most environments and seem to always be on edge. These clients often face social, professional, and family struggles because they are reactive, defensive, and sometimes impulsive in both language and actions. People who struggle to be able to motivate themselves into action. These qualities can lead to feeling misunderstood and alienated. I have successfully treated clients that fit this profile.

I believe that everyone can reach an optimum state of mental health. Life can be messy, tricky, wonderful and terrible. At times, we all need help. It is my passion and joy in life to help others to gain insight and skills in order to find hope, healing, strength, courage and increased resiliency in order to better manage the relationship with themself and others who are important to them in their life.

I love people! Alway have. I discovered I loved helping people find their way out of feeling helpless and hopeless from their problems. It is such a joy to see someone find that inner strength within to empower them to achieve their goals.

Are you ready to start the journey towards living your best life? It's easy to feel overwhelmed in today's fast-paced world. The pressure to succeed, trying to make a living, or just getting through each day can be hard and we often feel like we are lost on our current path in life. As your therapist, I will collaborate with you to find your best way forward to feeling better. Working together we can find ways to get you on the path to changing where you are now to moving towards where you want to be.

We walk this earth together, and I consider it a great gift each time I have the privilege of walking beside a fellow human being as they courageously make the decision to do what they know each person needs to do throughout life- reach out to someone to assist in gaining clarity along the way. I have found many people are unaware not only of the formidable strengths they possess, but that through self-awareness and healing, their life may become one of skilled resilience. I offer you my deep presence, empathy, skills, and unconditional positive regard as we walk this path as a team.

"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf"-Jon Kabat Zinn- In a time where we are hit with continuous stimuli, the waves of change seem to be moving faster than ever. Whether struggling with your health, the health of a loved one, battling cancer, parenting through different life stages, new physical challenges with aging, changes in your career, housing or relationships, I provide a nonjudgemental space to find tools to cope. Video counseling gives us the opportunity for me to join you on your couch, which can create more comfort and ease in forming a trusting therapeutic relationship.

Are you experiencing burnout? Do you over-book or overwork yourself, believing you have no choice? Do you prioritize other people's needs or problems before your own? Caring physicians, nurses, social workers, therapists, caregivers and parents need extra help in deciding how much they can offer and when to pull back to avoid burnout. You may need help if you are an adult child of an alcoholic or grew up in a chaotic or unpredictable home.

My mission is to provide caring, compassionate care within a non-judgmental environment. Successful therapy results less from what you say than the relationship that is developed between clients and their therapists. My strength is my ability to establish those relationships. A particular interest of mine is keeping abreast of all the latest developments in neuroscience as it relates to therapy. I have a home office with 2 therapy dogs who join us. If you are uncomfortable around dogs my practice will not be a good fit for you.

Life brings many challenges that can hinder our ability to function in a way that makes us truly happy. I believe we all have the strengths we need to overcome these challenges, but sometimes it's hard to recognize those strengths when we're in the midst of what feels like chaos. Therapy with me is an opportunity to work collaboratively to create change in a safe, judgment-free space. I want to serve as a guide to help you navigate those challenges. I believe the answers lie within you, and it is my goal to help you find them.

Life is about changing and moving through challenging times to better times. I will help you find the tools you need for change; esteem, competence and strength. I have been a psychotherapist in private practice 30 years focusing on adults and adult issues. My approach is recognized for offering positive results to people who have been struggling with significant life-issues. My therapeutic work offers respect, empathy, and acceptance. I am known for having a unique ability to connect with others using insight, experience, down-to-earth problem-solving, truthful support and appropriate humor.

Life can be painful and overwhelming. The courage to seek help is a sign of strength. Whether you are an adolescent, adult, or couple in crisis, experiencing transition, needing help with life struggles, or desiring emotional balance, I look forward to the privilege of walking alongside you. As a LPC, my approach to well-being is grounded in the philosophy that life difficulties are the result of aloneness and lack of healthy relational attachments. Aloneness manifests itself in a combination of physical, cognitive, emotional, and spiritual symptoms. Effective relief is achieved through attention to all aspects of the individual.

I am passionate about working with marriages and families whose relationships may be in crisis (broken trust; conflicted; disconnected) as well as stable families wanting deeper connection and relational intimacy. I help them see themselves and each other through a lens that includes the issues each person brought with them to the relationship, including ways their hearts and minds were impacted by relationships and situations experienced during their formative years.

Therapy is collaborative. As a therapist, I am a partner in my clients' self-explorations and a witness to their accomplishments. I provide a serene place where clients can rediscover or develop authentic selves, deepen emotional connections with self and others, recognize how thoughts, beliefs and values affect relationships, consider new ways of being in the world, develop healthier adaptive strategies when facing problems, and work through past and present past trauma, grief, and losses. You have the strengths you need to meet your full potential and achieve a satisfying life. I can help.

I guarantee you a FREE CONSULTATION within 24 HOURS. You want support soon from a professional, experienced therapist who can help. Reaching out is simple call, email, or visit our website. Connecting with me means having someone right away in your corner who is trained and dedicated to you, supporting you, and affording you the opportunity and space to tackle significant challenges.

You know that something is not right. Maybe it is you who has changed, maybe you are in a relationship that suddenly is not meeting your needs. You are the expert on your self, and if you have the feeling that you are not yourself, or that something inside of you feels broken, trust your instincts. Someone once said to me, "The further we stray from our path, the more clearly we feel the disturbance." I would like to help you find your true self, your authentic self, and the path that you are meant to be on.

People enter therapy for many different reasons. Life can be difficult; & at those times they need someone to talk to who will listen with empathy & without passing judgment. At other times they may be struggling with anxiety, depression or other mental health issues & need skilled assistance; or they may have an intimate relationship that is not functioning as it should & they need an objective mediator to assist with communication, conflict resolution, affair recovery & the restoration of trust. In all situations they require authenticity, empathy, warmth & wisdom in a therapist & a safe place to deal with their pain.

I work with couples in distress (and untroubled couples who want to improve their relationship), individuals struggling with sleep problems or chronic pain, and those battling anxiety, depression or serious mental illness. I am here to support you or your loved one on the journey to health and provide you with tools and strategies to help you weather personal, professional, and parenting storms, whether through therapy or a thorough psychological assessment. I am currently taking clients age 12 and up. All services are for people of any sexual orientation and at all points on the gender spectrum.
