Welcome! I’m so glad you have taken the first step to finding some peace and wellness, I hope I can help in your journey! I believe that everyone can benefit from having some time to work through some of their “stuff”.

Strengths are my empathy & ability to connect with others in a therapeutic way as to help facilitate growth, change and movement in their lives & acceptance of self.

Life can be challenging. Surviving life’s difficult challenges is a victory, but we are often left feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed and even self-critical. I am a firm believer that we are all doing the best that we can, but as we continue to manage ongoing stressors, we sometimes get stuck. Therapy can be a space to explore those feelings and seek new ways to find balance and healing.

I love working with individuals navigating transitional periods in their lives. It can be daunting and we all need some support during these times. These are times in our lives when we need someone to be unbiased, supportive and honest while we come face to face with our past and present, in order to build a successful future. I will work collaboratively with you to identify goals and teach you skills that you can utilize, even after our time together has concluded. It takes a brave person to ask for help and I provide a safe and caring environment for individuals and couples who are ready to work at building that successful future.

Hi! Are you looking for the right therapist? Maybe you have a struggling teen? Puberty, anxiety , depression and other adolescent issues can leave a parent feeling very frustrated. Or maybe you’re a young adult with “what’s next” questions. Or as an adult, perhaps feeling sad. I’m a licensed Mental Health Counselor and was a School Counselor with 30+ years. I provide counseling through motivation, coaching, problem solving and forming goals together. My approach is eclectic, based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy infused with energy work including EFT Tapping, breath work, manifesting through positive thought and mindfulness.

Ever feel at a loss on how to help your child face life's challenges? The problems that children, teens, and young adults face can be too overwhelming to manage. As parents, we want our children to grow and develop into healthy adults, and along the way to enjoy life, like themselves, and build friendships. It is a painful experience to watch as depression and anxiety derail your child on their journey forward in life. Children and teens face stressors and challenges just the same as adults, however they may not yet possess the skills needed to process and cope in a healthy and productive manner.

Do you feel anxious or depressed? Are you experiencing life stressors, loss, conflict, change, illness or trauma? When this happens, and coping skills break down, life quickly unravels. Compassion, empathy and ability, paired with a therapist who can guide you to healing, can really help you feel better and improve your quality of life. That person is me, and I am honored to walk along with you on the path to healing. Rarely is a single approach right for healing, growth and change. Rather, I believe in an eclectic approach to ensure one's desired goals for treatment are met.

Hello and welcome! If you’ve landed here, you’ve taken the first step in seeking support for yourself or a loved one, and that effort should be celebrated. The idea of sharing details about personal lives with a stranger can be scary. Many people make the choice to connect with a trained therapist and end up finding value in having an unbiased person outside of their friend/family group listen, validate, and share helpful strategies. I have been practicing as a licensed therapist since 2016 and I find great meaning in being able to partner with people as they move closer towards healing and growth.

Making the decision to begin therapy can be difficult, and finding a therapist that's right for you is an important step. My therapy style involves, first and foremost, working to help you feel safe and supported as you go through the therapy process. We will work together to identify, understand and then address the issues that are causing you trouble in your life. I specialize in a number of patient concerns including anxiety, depression, coping with chronic illness and other medical concerns, coping with major life transitions, relationship issues, grief/loss, women's issues and stress management.

I am a therapist with over 30 years experience working with clients. I use an informal eclectic approach that promotes client comfort and maximizes peoples potential to change. I am currently utilizing Motivational Interviewing techniques. I have extensive experience working with pre-teens, adolescents, young adults and adults. I am expert at working with clients of varied race, ethnicity, gender and varied socio-economic circumstances.

Right now, you're looking at this because something in your life isn't working. You're anxious, sad, withdrawn, frustrated...not the person you want to be. Chances are, this isn't the first therapist's profile you've read and you're overwhelmed with choices. Part of you may even feel like giving up, but you know you can't. People in your life need you; most importantly, YOU need you, and you need to start feeling better now. You're not alone in your struggle, you don't have to be alone in your progress, and there is hope for change.

Welcome! Seeking therapy is a wise and adaptive choice that can help you build connection with self and others by enhancing your capacity to face stressful situations, the past, and relationships. Sometimes personal patterns can make it difficult to share and live life in a way that is meaningful and honors your values. In my practice, therapy is a collaborative partnership that helps identify stuck points, builds resilience in the face of adversity, and develops strategies to pursue the life you deserve. The process will guide you to better understand the deeper aspects of yourself.

My goal is to join people where they are in their journey and identify the areas they would like to move through. The process of facing pain and being overwhelmed can be daunting, but it doesn't have to be faced alone. Together we focus on finding healthy and effective strategies to address the pain and stuck points that will lead to a more fulfilling and balanced life. Goals include increasing awareness of symptoms and healthy ways to address, establishing healthy relationships and interpersonal patterns, managing emotions, and healing.

I believe that everyone has inner strengths and abilities that are at times overshadowed by life circumstances and physical/mental health/spiritual struggles. With caring support and encouragement individuals can regain perspective, recognize and use their strengths, and grow further in their ability to manage symptoms and life stressors allowing them to overcome barriers to their wellness. Having 35 years of experience in the mental health field, I've dealt with a variety of issues primarily in the areas related to depression, anxiety, trauma/abuse, emotional regulation and grief/loss.

It takes a lot of courage and strength to ask for help. Life can be overwhelming, scary, and devastating at times. I am here to help. Together, you and I will draw on your inner strengths to find the resolution and personal growth you are looking for. I am dedicated to helping you find your way through life's many challenges and gaining some peace of mind along the way. I offer a strong emphasis on person-centered care, cognitive-behavioral techniques and dialectical-behavioral methods. I am trained in EMDR (effective treatment approach for individuals who have survived trauma).
