As a Marriage and Family Therapist for 25 years I have extensive experience helping couples and individuals confront life's challenges. My goal is to help you transform life's difficulties into opportunities for growth and change. By employing various innovative techniques and strategies your dreams can become realities.

Are you struggling with work or home life stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or addiction?

Trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I offer therapy/coaching that is client-centered, compassionate, and grounded in psychological science. ACT is not strictly the reduction of symptoms. The goal is development of mental and emotional flexibility that allows clients to adapt effectively to a variety of problems and to live meaningful and rich lives.

Have you looked in the mirror and asked yourself, "How did I get here?" “Who can I trust?” “How did my life change so quickly that I can't even recognize myself anymore?" "Am I Crazy?" "I Want to be Happy?" Problems are just the tip of the iceberg. Real problems start and end with the mirror image we see daily. Often the mirror image is silent but dying to speak and live life again. Issues in life start with the inability to be heard, believed in, and understood. I believe the best way to find you again, is to find your voice.

Life. That's it just life. Life can be...well life and sometimes it sucks. Maybe you're feeling constantly on edge, worried, or alone. You may feel like this pain you are having is never going to end, and your thoughts won't stop no matter how hard you try. Maybe you beat yourself up way too much. Maybe all of these things are affecting your relationships with others and yourself. What if I told you that you can be happy? I help women and men that have experienced trauma from their childhood learn how to love themselves again and get rid of the constant feeling of guilt and blame so that they can feel better and be happy.

I have been a counselor working with children, adults, and families for 25 years. I believe individuals have the strengths and resources to solve challenges in their lives and my job as a counselor is to help you discover how to use them to bring about change.

I work effectively with those dealing with depression and anxiety as well as other mental health diagnoses that are causing discomfort.

Carl Rogers once said, "When a person realizes he has been deeply heard, his eyes moisten. I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy. It is as though he were saying, "Thank God, somebody heard me. Someone knows what it's like to be me." We all experience times in our lives where we just need to be heard, to be validated, to find some direction. It is my belief that a therapeutic relationship with a genuine therapist who provides an authentic, nonjudgmental, safe environment is the most important factor for growth and positive outcomes.

Are you ready to be more vulnerable but aren’t sure where to start? Have you found yourself struggling to share honestly with those around you? Or maybe you’ve tried sharing more of yourself with others, but you aren’t sure where you belong or if others will accept you? Our families can have a big impact on how we show up in our adult relationships. Cultural messages often impact how safe we feel to be fully ourselves. Shame and guilt can hold us back from experiencing intimacy and connection with ourselves and others. Together we will help you heal from any past wounds so you can feel more aligned in the present.

Children often do not have the words to express what they are thinking or feeling. Traditional talk therapy alone is rarely successful in helping children process difficult life situations. I help children overcome anxiety, depression, and other challenges. I also assist parents in building strong, open relationships with their children. If your child is going through anxiety, sadness, behavior problems, social issues, or life changes (divorce, loss of a loved one, etc.) I am happy to walk along side them in their journey. In addition to working with children, I also see teens and adults.
