Hi! Welcome! As a licensed psychologist I have had the opportunity to work with a very diversified group of clients. I believe there are unique strengths, aspirations, vulnerabilities, tendernesses, joys and heartbreaks in every person's life. It is my privilege to help people know and accept their authentic selves and become more mindful, loving, compassionate and nurturing toward themselves and others. I work with clients with more acute issues (anxiety, depression, life transitions) as well as long standing trauma, emotional pain or mental health concerns. I want clients to leave my office feeling understood and hopeful.

Fourth Dimension Counseling & Coaching is group practice of therapists and coaches who specialize in addiction including alcohol and drug addiction, sex addiction, pornography addiction, love addiction and partner betrayal trauma. All of the therapists and coaches at Fourth Dimension are in long term substance abuse recovery themselves and are experts in the field of addiction. They also have extensive training in couples therapy, infidelity, codependency, family of origin, women's issues, domestic violence, trauma and life transitions. We offer individual, couples and group therapy and coaching for both men and women.

For the last 14 years I've been working with individuals, couples, and families to help them address the most important issues in their lives. I enjoy helping clients empower themselves by expanding emotional flexibility, building positive communication patterns, and contradicting negative self-concepts and feelings of isolation.

Having worked with people who have experienced serious trauma, I believe that people can heal and live full lives. I have worked with people who think that their marriage is over, and with work and commitment, turn the marriage around to become even healthier than it was in the beginning. My clients have struggled with serious marital strife, rape, abuse, depression and various other issues. Over the last twenty plus years, I have seen changes occur when my clients work hard, understanding that change takes time, and with assistance, learn that they can get the life and relationships they want.

When I was a girl there was no one to tell my deepest darkest secrets. My life's work is to be a trusted, healing person to those in pain. My therapy room is many things: a confessional, a delivery room, a crucible, a place of radical honesty with a whole lot of grace. Most of all it is a safe place for you to tell your story, to find strength and hope, to cry, and to heal. I embrace a holistic approach which considers your spirit, mind, body, & community.

Thank you for visiting my page on Therapy Locator! I very much appreciate your interest in my practice. I see individuals (adults and children 11 years old and older), couples and families. I aim to be open-hearted, respectful and accepting while helping you identify the patterns in your life that seem to keep you stuck in an experience you no longer find tolerable, comfortable or acceptable. I strive to help you fundamentally accept yourself with loving kindness while making the changes you seek.

With a specialization in sex therapy, couples, and eating disorders. I'm dedicated to providing a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space where my clients can openly discuss their concerns related to sexual health, intimacy, and relationship dynamics. With a deep understanding of the complexities of human sexuality and relationships, I strive to help my clients navigate through their challenges and towards a healthier, more fulfilling life. Whether you’re dealing with sexual dysfunction, desire discrepancy, communication issues, or relationship conflicts, I am here to provide guidance, support, and effective strategies.

Have you drawn your last straw? I work with couples in distress regarding sexual issues, chronic conflict, and diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD. My focus in couple therapy is to understand and give space to even the ugliest parts of you and your partner that have been preventing the connection you once felt. As we contextualize parts and patterns in your experience, we can uncover the stuck-ness that is keeping you from feeling the satisfaction and safety you seek. While I see many wonderful, burned-out mothers and wives, I also have extensive experience with courageous men who also enter the "feeling" space.

I became a therapist so that I could support people in making life changes to find more satisfaction in their lives, whether that area was relationships to self and others; work; spiritual pursuits; or their areas of creativity and play. That means that I often work with individuals and couples to resolve anxiety, despair and blocks to new actions. Finding the right therapist is an important quest and I encourage you to call me to see if we would be a good fit.

Hi! Looking for a therapist is not easy, great job taking the first step. Choosing someone to work with on issues of depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, the addiction of loved ones, unexpected life changes, complex trauma, secondary trauma, is also no small feat. My approach is to create a safe and healing space for us to talk about and work through tough issues, to listen and hear your experience, to guide you to potential solutions and find ways of achieving your goals. I have 20 years of experience working with individuals and couples facing challenges and believe anything is possible.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or a past that's holding you back? I can help. Are you wanting to make a change, and are feeling stuck, or out of control? Are you ready to heal yourself from within? I can help! Counselling and hypnotherapy allow you to get to the source of negative beliefs and patterns so that you can heal from old wounds. You are better able to see how these patterns may have carried forward and left you feeling stuck in your current situation. Through this healing, you can release what no longer serves you and become who we truly want to be.

I am currently accepting new clients and am offering discounted rates to couples and families! I am here to walk your path of recovery with you while assisting in accomplishing your unique goals. I approach therapy from a holistic perspective while acknowledging that one size does not fit all. Working with individuals, families, couples, adults, and teens while being an LGBTQ+ ally and social justice advocate. I help people with emotional regulation needs, addiction, generalized trauma, religious/spiritual abuse, life stage transitions, family of origin issues, relational issues, parenting, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and more.

Individuals, couples and families are all seen as my ideal client. I typically see clients from the ages of 13 and up, but I do make some exceptions. Clients who are having difficulties with communicating their emotions, identifying their strengths and their core self, or having dysfunctional dyadic or family patterns are clients who I know I can help. Clients coming regularly and genuinely working with me to accomplish the goals we set out at the beginning of therapy are ideal. If you want to better yourself in any way, shape or form, I will be the person who will try my best to help you become the better self you aspire to be.

I believe a person is often presented with challenges in his or her life and that sometimes we need help in facing those challenges. I am passionate about working with individuals and couples to overcome these obstacles and find solutions that lead to a balanced life. These challenges often arise from relationships, both personal and professional, from past experiences, from depression or anxiety, as well as from physical challenges such as chronic pain or illness, among many other factors.

Serving people for 30 years in various settings (hospitaIs, schools, outpatient), I have learned what skills, attitudes, and attributes contribute to our sense of well-being and purpose and what boosts our confidence in handling life challenges. Youth as well as adults will understand the connection between feelings, behaviors and thoughts and modify those that don't work well for them. Whether a crisis, divorce, or relationship problem at home or school, difficulty being the parent or partner you wish, or self-sabotaging behaviors, I will help you harness these situations, and use them as springboards to becoming the person you most want to be.

Do you feel that a better version of you is waiting to emerge? I believe there is. Do you want to be happier? Have a better relationship? More fulfilling career? I believe you can have all those things. I also believe the seeds of change are within each of us. Whether changes are subtle or more global, I can help. My job, as your therapist and coach, is to help find the pathways within you to move toward change. I believe we have the answers within to the dilemmas we face, although we may need guidance to find those answers.

I believe that people are constantly changing and inside each of us is the ability to achieve a happy and meaningful life. I am passionate about helping my clients become aware of their authentic-selves, and empowering them to identify and pursue their goals. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My practice style is interactive and encouraging. I am compassionate and empathetic, yet I can be direct. I use a variety of traditional and alternative principals in order to meet the unique needs of each client. I have extensive experience and training in grief, loss, and hospice care.
