I am here to teach women how to prioritize their needs, make lifelong improvements on overall wellness, and create a lasting positive mindset. All without the guilt! Some of the issues we work on together include: time management, self-care, finding balance, living authentically (outside of their roles/responsibilities), fostering self-love and confidence, understanding and navigating anxious thoughts, and improving overall quality of life. It can feel overwhelming and even impossible for those things at times, but I share the blueprint to understanding your self, your needs, and what you deserve!

In my practice, I enjoy working with teens, adults and other clinicians looking to identify and find solutions to life's problems. My clients come to me with a goal in mind, whether it big or small, and together we work together to find solutions to the barriers holding them back. I feel passionately about helping my clients become whomever they want to be. Additionally, I enjoy working with survivors of any trauma and those looking to break out of toxic relationships, whether personal, professional or romantic. I also enjoy working with other therapists, seeking support, and feel strongly about helping those in my profession.

There are times in our lives when things just don't seem to go according to plan. I believe everyone has the capacity to change the way they think and feel and to live the life they've dreamed of no matter what may be going on around us! Creating change requires support and experience on the part of the therapist. Through a process of empathy and understanding, I assist clients in creating positive changes in their lives. I provide a hope-inducing environment, which allows clients to feel comfortable as we create a customized plan to go from "feeling stuck" toward achieving personal goals and making positive, lasting changes.

As our client’s minds and bodies detoxify, we begin to address the deeper roots of addiction. While addressing the physical manifestations of addiction is essential, addressing the mental, emotional and spiritual effects of addiction is also imperative. Individual, group and family therapy is offered in addition to holistic treatment methods, 12-step recovery tools and detailed aftercare planning. Every client completes our residential program with a clear path forward. We help clients find hope and launch confidently into the next phase of their recovery.

When asked, "How are you?" Clients often respond, "I feel lost/empty," "I don't know who I am. What's wrong with me?" I hear confusion as they ask for help, but these feelings can change. When overwhelmed, it shows intelligence and courage to seek help. I provide a safe, confidential, and comfortable environment where you can speak and heal without fear. Learn how to resolve conflicts in a positive, and productive way. The change process is most likely to succeed if we identify and stay connected with your strengths and values. Let me partner with you to assist you in reaching your potential.

Thank you for starting your journey with me. I have been a therapist for 12 years, returning to school in my 40’s to fulfill a lifelong dream of helping others, like you, lead their best life. I believe in mending one soul at a time. Our world has been through a lot and now, here we are again trying to readjust. I am extremely thankful that more people are talking openly about mental health and helping to reduce the stigma. I firmly believe in order for someone to get the most from therapy, there must be mutual trust and openness between the client and therapist. My job is to meet you where you are and walk

Remember when you seemed to have energy to spare? You could juggle it all and then some. But something happened since then that keeps you from living the life you had dreamed about. Now, you are fatigued, stressed out, lack libido and have trouble sleeping. You struggle to go to the store after work or to run an errand, you want a nap instead of adventure. Perhaps you have gone to the doctor, but only get prescribed more and more medication. Your type A drive feels like a lifetime ago, now it's all you can do to make it through the day.

It is true what they say, "Life is Journey", and like most journeys at times you may find yourself struggling to overcome obstacles, confused about which direction to go, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, lost or feeling alone. Therapy can be your co-navigator during these difficult times. For some it is about learning new skills and strategies to cope with stressors, make healthier choices, or manage emotional reactions in a more effective way. For others it may be about overcoming fears, changing dysfunctional behavior patterns, processing loss or healing from acute and chronic physical and emotional traumas.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
