If you have come to this site. . . remember to breathe. . . in a way that you know you are breathing. . . I remind myself of this on a regular basis. . . There is more to you than you might think. . . Therapy is an invitation to re-discover a compassionate, curious, and wise energy that was always within you, but blocked by well-intentioned and sometimes extreme parts of you. I believe you deserve some sense of how I work. I also believe a good therapist continues to do their own work. . . which is why I meditate and meet regularly with trusted colleagues and we literally take turns being therapist and client with each other.

I work with adults, couples and older adolescents (16+) who are coping with a wide variety of life challenges including depression, anxiety, acute or chronic illness, physical pain, caregiver stress , sleep difficulties, relationship strain, divorce, trauma, role changes, life transitions, grief and loss. I also have extensive experience in medical social work, palliative care, and facilitating difficult end-of-life planning discussions.

I named my business Life Journey Counseling because I believe that we are all on a journey. We typically have ideas about where we are headed and how we will get there, but life often deals us something different...something we didn't plan for. How we handle that is the key to our own personal growth. I am inspired by the power of people to help themselves, but also a firm believer in the importance of having support and help when we need it. I help people through the therapeutic relationship we form to realize their full potential.

Hello! It has been a privilege to work in the counseling field for over 25 years. I bring experience, insight, compassion and support to the transitions, struggles and difficulties in life and in your journey towards healing. My focus is on the strengths and resiliency that exists in all people and by the exploration of a positive movement forward.

The cycles of overwhelm, internalized aggression, and self-abandonment are not solitary experiences - they happen as complex responses to trauma, stress , depression, grief, and disconnect. Whether you are struggling with addiction, life transitions, or any challenging pattern, the impulse to escape the present moment can influence a painful cycle of suffering. In the process of reclaiming the self, we cannot approach healing on a solely cognitive level. Every aspect of the collective self holds the wounds and wisdom that, if honored in mutual regard, can guide an individual towards profound growth.

Life is full of challenges. I believe these challenges can also be stepping stones to our own personal growth. Whether stress from a job, a relationship issue or perhaps experiencing depression or anxiety, everyone deserves to have a non-judgmental, safe place to be able to talk. As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I strive to make my office a comfortable environment where those "hard conversations" can happen, resulting in a deeper understanding of what roles we play in relationships as well as how our thoughts impact how we feel and act.

Life is full of ups and downs. Therapy helps you make sense of it all, and feel more equipped to manage the difficult times. Whether your difficulties are related to past experiences of pain or trauma, internalized negative messages you’ve received about yourself, anxiety about taking up space, or a need to be perfect or please others, I believe it’s never too late to start the journey of healing and self understanding. I specialize in trauma/PTSD recovery, and family and relationship issues. I also help folks with a range of symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, identity related stress , and academic/work issues.
