I have over 25 years of experience specializing in helping people with PTSD, anxiety, grief, depression and low self-esteem eliminate their symptoms and move forward to experience the happy, satisfying and fulfilling lives they deserve. Since trauma impacts both the individual and their partner, I provide couples counseling along with individual counseling. Issues addressed include: workplace violence and accidents, robbery, sexual assault, childhood molestation/abuse, domestic violence, car crashes. I have extensive experience working with Veterans, First Responders & Healthcare Providers around issues specific to their jobs.

Are you feeling depressed, anxious, stressed? Do you sometimes feel as if you've lost control of your life? I have been a Licensed Counselor for over 24 years. I work with individual adults and couples who are experiencing depression, anxiety, or grief, as well as separation, divorce, family conflict, and blended family issues. I also have experience working with women who have been sexually abused, as well as those who are suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I am certified in Critical Incident Stress Debriefing for those who have been through a crisis.

We all have the capacity for growth and healing. Sometimes the hardest step is the first, but I encourage you to take it. As your therapist, my goal is to empower you to achieve optimal health, wellness, and fulfillment in your life and relationships. I will work with you to gain insight into behaviors and patterns that don’t serve you well, and help you develop new tools, techniques, and perspectives for coping with life’s challenges.

Are you looking for a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere to discuss your problems? Do you need a counselor who can really connect with you? Are you in need of someone who will listen to you in a supportive environment? I can help! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor; practicing for fifteen years. I specialize in working with depression, women's issues, relationship concerns, online counseling, and teens. I also see adults and children of all ages. I use a Person-Centered approach and a blend of other therapeutic techniques, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.

ONLINE SESSIONS ARE AVAILABLE. First I would like to acknowledge your choice to take this first step in seeking therapeutic support to improve self care. The molding of my unique approach to assist families through the journey of emotional healing is continuously developed through dedication to client care and with grave emphasis on empowering and motivating families, couples, and individuals toward acceptance and forgiveness. By following a clearly defined plan of action together we would develop a holistic approach that encompasses emotional balance, resolving unhealed traumas, and the stabilization of relationships.

I believe that the foundation of therapy is the collaborative relationship between client and therapist exploring possibilities and solutions to transcend suffering, face reality and remove barriers to wellbeing. Mark Twain was quoted as saying “Life is one damn thing after the next”. Many times it is the perspective we take on life’s experiences and our focus of attention that determine our emotional and physical wellbeing. I believe that it is my job to help you identify and yes, remember the strengths and resources you have accumulated throughout a lifetime of experience that can have a profoundly positive effect on your life.

Are you struggling with feelings or symptoms that negatively impact your mood, relationships, and/or work performance? Maybe you're having relationship problems or struggling to cope with the loss of a loved one. If so, you don't have to try to deal with this alone. Yes, therapy is a very personal process, and for some the mere thought of therapy may trigger unsettling feelings. I provide a safe and confidential, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment in my sessions. Together we will help you or your family nurture the growth and change that you or your family ultimately would like to achieve.

Are you experiencing grief after a breakup or divorce, or realizing your codependent behaviors? Are you and your partner struggling to communicate effectively, attempting to rebuild trust, or grow closer as a couple? Codependency, relationship struggles, and confidence rebuilding are my clinical focus. I'm here to help women, couples, teens (16+), and young adults work through difficult or sad emotions/experiences related to depression, life transitions, and relationship issues. With every client, my goal is to help you feel more confident, communicate effectively, and learn skills catered to your goals for therapy!

Have you experienced a life changing event? Do you having trouble making a life transition and feel like no one understands you? Life can be difficult especially when tragedy occurs. No worries! There is hope! I work with individuals and families who have overcome extreme trauma such as physical abuse, sexual molestation, attempted murder, domestic violence, surviving war, etc. I work with all ages, backgrounds, and cultures.

Sometimes we struggle with life in ways that make us feel alone, unsafe, stressed or worried. Perhaps life has left you feeling discouraged, off balance or not much like yourself. Do you feel like you have been doing the best you can, even though it has been difficult? It's perfectly normal to feel frustrated or tired of being tired. At times it may even feel like no one understands. Maybe if you could just feel heard or understood, life could seem possible just knowing you did what you did because you only knew what you knew. Working together to gain more skills and tools to continue your journey is not that far. Let's talk!

I have previously worked as an in home therapist, foster care worker, and the majority of my experience has been the past 11 years as an outpatient therapist for a private practice. I have experience working with women, men, children, adolescents, family, and marital therapy.

My goal is to allow space for the unfolding of a therapeutic relationship grounded in appreciation, warmth, compassion and acceptance, while encouraging insight and self-realization. Through an inward movement, the spirit and psyche naturally flow towards wholeness and higher consciousness. This natural process can seemingly be disrupted by searching for fulfillment in external sources, such as other people, status, substances, and money. Turning our awareness inward can be the most important move we make. Distress and suffering are common experiences in life and can be the portals for growth and awakened consciousness.

Life is challenging at times and can leave you feeling anxious and overwhelmed, vulnerable and depleted. Seeking support becomes crucial to your wellbeing. We will work together to increase your coping skills and develop healthy ways for you to manage your emotions. We will identify self-defeating thoughts, making your mind more "user-friendly", and change any unhealthy patterns of behavior. I am deeply invested in your growth and sense of empowerment. I welcome individuals, couples, and families to my practice. I also welcome those who are inspired to work more deeply on their spiritual growth.

Life has more than enough obstacles, challenges and events that leave us with wounds. And, while we have family and friends that try to be of help, often we don't get the best, unbiased advice. Counselors are the friendly ear, the non-judgmental person, with a broad perspective to help you get through those times when life gets difficult. Transitions such as marriage or divorce, or the loss of family or friends, as well as accidents, or the activities of being a policeman, fireman or soldier, brings overwhelming life events that call for a trained professional to guide and help bring resolve to those things.

Are you struggling with infertility? Have you experienced unsuccessful IVF attempts? Have you experienced the loss of a child during or shortly after birth? Do you feel anxious, depressed, vulnerable, frustrated, hopeless, angry, or inadequate? Does it seem as if you have loss total control of your life? Is your problem affecting your daily functioning? Do you feel alone? Does is seem no one understands? If the answer is "yes" you have come to the right place. Allow me to assist you with managing the emotional and psychological pain associated with this devastating type of loss in a supportive and caring environment.
