Sessions are driven by you; your goals and desires. Together we will identify and work through past trauma, limiting patterns, beliefs and subsequent actions.

My counseling approach is grounded in strengthening the client’s natural tendency towards healing, resiliency, and adaptation. I strive to empower my clients, and believe in a therapeutic relationship that is built on collaboration and trust. This allows me to provide my clients with the tools they need to manage challenges - helping them identify and implement more adaptive and healthy ways to resolve conflict and explore opportunities for growth.

My speciality is building close rapport with my clients who have told me throughout my years of counseling they feel able to talk with me openly. I believe this is due to the fact that I adhere to the Rogerian Principle of unconditional positive regard and a non-judgemental stance. Treating others with respect and dignity facilitates true self-examination and an opportunity for personal growth. Close rapport is the foundation that will maximize the effectiveness of my cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, treatment that will allow you to quickly reclaim your sense of well-being and optimal level of functioning.

Have you felt stuck for years, like your foot sinking deeper into a muddy river, making it increasingly difficult to find your way? Life can leave us feeling the same way. The more reactive we become, fighting stress and painful emotions, the harder it is to see clearly through the mud, and we lose sight of who we are.A lack of clarity about yourself can lead to suffering. For years, you may have measured your self-worth through the eyes of others, longing to live in your truth and not someone else's version of who they think you should be.Trauma, dysfunctional families, unmet needs, and chronic anxiety can all muddy the water.

I specialize in helping people of all ages in managing the symptoms of trauma, stress, depression, anxiety, neurodiversity, disordered eating, body image, and more. I am particularly keen on working with people interested in spirtual wellness. I serve all ages, but especially kids to young adults and older adults. I am passionate about working with veterans, LGBTQIA folx, and culturally diverse peoples. I bring warmth, positivity,  kindness, and compassion to my work.

Therapy is a time to reach out and begin to make changes for how you want your life to be different . . . and a therapist helps you find the courage, gather the tools necessary and choose a path to go after it. I have over 25 years experience working with children, families and individuals to assist them in getting back on track with their lives. Specialty areas include children with behavior issues, recovering from abuse and trauma, and coping with divorce, along with all ages of adults wanting a higher quality of life as a result of anxiety and depression.

~I am currently not accepting new clients~ Considering therapy is a courageous step to take, as it often seems easier to avoid what is uncomfortable than to face it. It is important that we develop a safe, trusting, and comfortable relationship as the foundation to address the issues that brought you in. I have 22 years of experience working with children, adolescents, families, and adults. My treatment approach is guided by family systems, insight-oriented, and attachment theories.

I specialize in helping those with anxiety, depression, & relationship issues. Whether it is a relational, work, school, or family issue, talking about it with someone often aids in clarity and change. I want to help those individuals/families who are struggling to make sense of the chaos, look for understanding insight, and make those changes that will help them to start feeling more hopeful and excited about life again.

There is no better time than now to begin working on your mental health! Whether you are a parent, young adult, or teen, adjusting to new life stages may be difficult and confusing.

Being a teen girl is tough! Raising a teen girl can be even tougher. Anxiety, depression, identity issues, peer relations, academic stress, and outside pressures can leave teen girls needing increased support just as many are beginning to pull away from their parents to develop their own passions and purpose. Parents often find themselves feeling like an outsider as their teen daughters suddenly begin to turn to peers, friends, and social media for advice and guidance instead of mom or dad. This can lead to increased family conflict as parents and teens struggle to communicate with each other and find common ground.
