Anger, resentment, loneliness. What happened? This was not the plan. It was supposed to be different…better. The desire for relief from the hurt evokes thoughts of escape. But, if you follow that path the price-tag for everyone seems too great! But the fact is, this relationship isn’t working. The thought “I can’t keep doing this” is coming more often. Things need to change, but how? After trying everything else, nothing’s really better. It feels hopeless. Yet, the truth is, it’s not hopeless. Many couples go through similar difficulties and struggles, and there is help that can heal and restore your relationship.

My role is to come alongside you in your process of learning more about who you are and why your life is the way it is, working to help you become the best version of yourself.

So often, our close relationships can be a source of pain. It can feel like we will never connect or understand each other like we once did. Sometimes, these feelings come from deep betrayal or we've just simply grown apart. Finding each other again and building meaningful and deep partnerships, while difficult work, is possible and allows us to reclaim the most important and meaningful parts of our lives. I love working with couples and families to help on this journey of healing and growth.

People have an inherent need to be understood and tell their story in order to live the life they imagine. My job as therapist is to listen, and learn from you and guide you toward better self-care, and to make the changes necessary to look inside yourself to see what might be holding you back from living a full happy life. As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe often times the things which keep us from moving forward are in our environment, such as toxic relationships, poverty, lack of education, drugs and alcohol, and past traumas.

I have been in the counseling field for over 25 years. I have helped survivors of abuse and domestic violence, the LBGQT community, and adolescents. I primarily incorporate CBT but that is not the only theory I use. It depends on the needs of my clients. Recently I was trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma. I currently I’m only doing tele sessions. My clients range from adolescence to adult. Most of my current clients are experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma. My goal as a counselor is to help individuals reach their full potential to lead productive successful lives based on their needs and desires.

It's hard for you to feel good about yourself sometimes. You see other people on social media and you think they are more fit, happier, and they have it all. You just wish you could...fill in the blank...then you would be able to enjoy your life. When I started my mental health practice in 2020, I had a clear vision: assist individuals struggling with self-confidence and self-worth. I specialize in working with people who are dealing with body image and food issues, as well as those who want to be more assertive in their relationships with parents, partners, and bosses.

In the story books they lived happily ever after; in real life it isn't quite that simple. Intimate relationships are important in our lives, yet as the current rates of infidelity and divorce show, they are far from easy. Plus, most of us receive little training on healthy, effective communication, negotiation skills, or sex education. This is where I can help. I have 25 years of experience counseling individuals and couples in the areas of sexuality and relationships. I listen, mediate, and assist you in finding a solution that is best for you. I am now providing online-therapy. Please contact me with any questions.

Does life seem picture-perfect on the surface, yet deep down, something feels amiss? Despite your achievements, there's a lingering sense of emptiness that just won't go away. Perhaps a significant life event—something from the past, or more recently—has brought this feeling to the forefront, urging you to seek change, even if you're uncertain about the specifics. You're yearning for deeper self-awareness and ready to break free from old patterns to cultivate a more fulfilling life.

Through my many decades as a psychotherapist, I've mostly worked with women 1:1 which sometimes leads to family sessions with husbands, mothers, daughters - even sisters. /
I see women who are good at taking care of others but not so good at self care. We work on awareness of feelings & needs in relationships; explore early, formative experiences that shape us.
4 things about me:
1. I have sat in the "client chair" many times. The best therapists I know are those who've been clients themselves.
2. I was raised in an alcoholic home; so was my husband of 42 years. Sadly, addictions run in both our families.
