With 40 years of experience, I work with individuals and couples, straight and gay, African Americans, Caucasians and other racial and ethnic groups as well as other therapists helping with their unique life challenges. I also work with those having chronic illness and cancer. Challenge and loss are inevitable-- whether they be associated with love, family, health or trust or over how we hoped our life would turn out. Living well means learning a repertoire to deal with challenges so we don't remain stuck, angry or depressed.

Are you struggling to feel satisfied in your relationships? Whether the relationship is with a partner, a friend, family, or even with ourselves, it can cause stress, havoc and exhaustion. You might be dealing with mental health challenges, low self-worth, sexual dysfunction or have experienced trauma that can impact your relationships. You may be struggling during pregnancy or postpartum with feeling like yourself and connected to your partner. Fortunately, better communication, an improved sex life, increased self worth, and reduced anxiety are all achievable in our work.

True lasting healing requires safety & trust in relationships. I am a collaborative therapist providing warmth, caring & guidance as you work to reach your goals. My clients describe me as an invested therapist who remembers the smallest details & plays an active role in helping facilitate the change you want to make. I specialize in life transitions and the self talk/beliefs & communication skills that affect positive change. I’m most passionate about helping you live as your true self, beginning/ending relationships, regaining connection with & prioritizing oneself, and helping people navigate changes in their health & well-being.

As a counselor, I remain true to myself in the sense that I am direct, warm, honest, compassionate, and expressive with my reactions. I tend to be casual in my approach, so if something is funny, I will laugh with you, and if something is sad or distressing, I will share those feelings with you as well. While it is important to me that I remain as objective as possible, I firmly believe that the therapist themself serves as a tool that contributes to your therapeutic process. For that reason, I believe our connection must be fostered collaboratively and authentically.

I recognize the strength and courage it takes to seek support, and I believe this is a sign of your resilience. My aim is to create a collaborative relationship with you that is supportive, compassionate, validating, and connected. One of my highest values as a therapist is to meet you where you are, and to work with you toward increasing emotional safety. I value a gentle, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive approach, and we will move at your pace. I specialize in working with highly sensitive people, codependency, childhood emotional neglect, trauma, anxiety, depression, shame, and challenging family relationships.

You haven’t been feeling like yourself lately. Maybe you wake up already feeling overwhelmed, knowing it’s been difficult managing daily tasks and expectations. You’ve noticed how stress has taken a toll on your relationships, social life and gotten in the way of taking care of yourself. You’ve questioned your eating behaviors at times, or found yourself in the guilt/shame spiral after a late night binge. Perhaps you’re feeling stuck in a cycle of emotional eating and dieting or feeling like you’re held back from small joys in life because of the way you feel in your body. You can relate to all or parts of this paragraph.

Life is infinitely dimensional - amazing, and so utterly hard! Negotiating relationships, navigating purpose, moving through predictable and unpredictable life transitions, managing crises, and just contending with the inevitable reality of ongoing change. It can be a frustrating and fulfilling process to really pay attention, integrate experience, and find balance in the midst of it all. How to work with the rich material of life effectively, creatively, and well? Therapy can help: slow things down, make space to pay attention, gather perspective, and shore up support.

During therapy consultations, most people say that they want a therapist who won't just sit there and nod at them. That makes a lot of sense to me. Starting with a new therapist takes a lot of courage and most of us wouldn't do it unless we need real help. Most hurt and trauma happens in our relationships with others and in order for therapy to help you need to be able to trust that your therapist is with you. When.you talk with me, you have my full attention. We'll make connections between what's happening now and what happened in your past experiences. We'll also work on feeling less shame and more safety.

Health and healing are journeys. We are always honored when clients ask us along on their journey towards recovery from the trauma or devastation robbing them of the ability to trust themselves or others. If you seek improvements, in any area of your life, let's work together to identify your passions and possibilities, map and monitor your progress, and manage the dynamics that keep you stuck. You, too, can heal from trauma and addictions, manage difficult relationships (see our website for approach to couples & pre-marital counseling), surmount career set-backs & improve your self-esteem with insight and guidance.

Y'all, there's no doubt about it - being human is hard sometimes. You find yourself exhausted by life and frequently have a nagging feeling that something is wrong with you and/or your life. You've tried self-care and positive thinking, or finding ways to distract yourself... but in quiet moments, there is an empty loneliness inside that you're not sure what to do with. You've been through a lot and you've survived. But you're tired of surviving, and the idea of actually thriving in your life and relationships sounds glorious but elusive. You just haven't been sure how to get there, and you get stuck in overwhelm.
