Change is possible if you take the first step. I come from a place of understanding that making any changes in life can be difficult, even talking to a therapist! I believe therapy is like a conversation, which can make difficult situations feel more manageable and goals more attainable.

I strongly believe that clients already possess the strength they need to overcome past hurts. I believe it is my privilege to walk alongside you in your journey and empower you to use your own strengths to solve problems and achieve your goals. I enjoy working with clients from any age or background. I treat a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, anger management, and trauma. I have a special interest in working with woman recovering from abusive relationships, co-dependency, or parenting issues.

I believe that you are the expert on your own experience. One of my goals is that the main benefit you, or your child, gains from therapy is that you become increasingly self-aware of your own strengths and how they can best serve you to overcome whatever you are facing. Although you or your family may be experiencing intense challenges, and you're not sure what the next step should be, you have also somehow made it to today, and that proof of strength should never be ignored. I would love to join with you in your next steps, one step at a time.

The two most important factors in effective psychotherapy are finding the right person with whom you can connect and knowing that the therapy is geared to your unique needs. My 45 years of counseling have taught me therapy is most effective when we work together. Therapy is a cooperative effort. I want to identify your strengths and apply them to your problems. If you have a history of trauma, I have found that EMDR therapy is the most effective way to treat trauma and am excited to offer this therapy.

I enjoy working with all individuals struggling to manage their mental and emotional health. I have experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
