With the right tools and support I believe you can overcome just about any challenge and create the life you've always wanted. My approach uses traditional therapeutic methods enhanced with a variety of music, art and animal assisted techniques in a private, relaxing environment. Most importantly, I treat all clients with the utmost respect and care they deserve. I offer after hours and weekend appointments and new clients are always welcome.

Have a feeling there is a disconnect in your life? Experiences such as overwhelm, helplessness, over-thinking things, relationship strain, mentally beating yourself up, or physical symptoms like recurrent headaches, stomachaches, or a rundown immune system are often signs that we are cut off from our true self. Remember the old expression "can't see the forest for the trees"? This is often true as we try to figure out "what's wrong" with us. I want to help you find clarity and direction with life's challenging and painful situations. You don't have to do this alone.

If you are looking for a non-judgmental therapist to help you sort through this unpredictable thing we call life, give me a call. I provide a safe space for adolescents and adults to work through complex thoughts and feelings. I love helping people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, anger, mood changes, behavior changes, life transitions, difficult relationships, etc. I have over 13 years of experience working with people in the community, helping them overcome the challenges they face in their lives. I look forward to speaking to you about ways you can improve your quality of life.

(Now assisting with COVID-Flu trauma struggles.) I have specialized in working with Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Disorders since the 1990's and have worked with hundreds of patients, trained more professionals than anyone else to date in the US, and published a variety of books on optimal OCD treatment (including the OCD Meditation Book; Amazon.com). As a genetically-determined brain disorder it is difficult to make progress working on OCD alone or without a consistent strategy. Having OCD myself I will be able to quickly understand the way your OCD works and develop a specially tailored plan to get your brain working better.

I realize that individuals attend counseling for basically two reasons: You are in emotional and/or physical pain and it hurts inside and possibly outside (disturbing emotions can physically hurt) or you are searching for growth and life enrichment. I believe the primary goal of counseling is to assist you with increasing your emotional strength, resilience and over-all well-being. My credentials include Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D), Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and a Registered Nurse. I have over 30 years experience as a RN and a Behavioral Health Professional.

Each client is unique regardless of the issue which motivates therapy. Meeting with individuals or couples, I work to clarify goals and generate 'action-items'. I don't tell you what to do or what is wrong with you. I help you identify what you want and what you need to accomplish that. I help you retrieve desired resource experiences from your learning history and get them available in the current life contexts where you need them. My role includes serving as a 'translator' for couples as I help each one hear and understand what the other is trying to say.

I aim to create a safe and compassionate space to help you understand your experiences and relationships with greater ease and more joy. I hope to guide you in connecting to your own wisdom. If you feel ready to receive support as you navigate your emotional experience, I would consider it a great honor to walk with you. I hope our time together will allow you to feel empowered and hopeful. I believe that when we have the right support we can free ourselves from past hurts and old suffering.

Life can become very challenging at any given point and time in our lives. Depression, anxiety, anger/irritability, mood/behavioral changes, abuse of substances and exposure to trauma create fallacies that life will remain unmanageable for children and adults. In my 10+ years of experience, I recognize the strength in talking to someone about your challenges in order to begin the healing process. Are you struggling to manage your child's behavior? Are you struggling to manage your own emotions as an adult? Together we can identify solutions for overcoming trauma, hurts and disappointments which prevents us from moving forward.

Initial appointments are scheduled within 5 business days. Crisis appointments are available within 2 business days.

You can have a life that is not defined by anxiety, depression, shame, or loneliness. You can be brave and confident. You can value your own needs as much as you value others'. You can heal from growing up with emotionally-immature parents, sexual abuse, trauma, and shame. My job is to guide you there. I love helping clients find their voice and increase their self-confidence. I help you identify the factors underlying your anxiety, trauma, and depression so you're not just trying to cope with them anymore, but can have more of the life you want. I will have openings for new clients after I return from maternity leave January 2021.

An interesting client for me is the middle-aged male who has climbed the ladder of success only to find there is nothing there but "stuff". They are extremely depressed realizing that they are unsatisfied with their lives. So they come into therapy to start "The Male Journey". If they become humble and honest, there is a chance that they can transform their lives for the better. Often, this approach is successful with couples who are in need of relationship counseling.

I am a peaceful person and a skilled listener. It is my goal to create a safe and welcoming environment for all people to find healing and growth as they need it. I can help with the process of exploring your goals and motivations in therapy so that you can be equipped with the tools that you need.

Whether you are suffering with depression, anxiety, or your coping methods (alcohol, drugs, food, shopping, sex, or any other addictive substance) have complicated your situation more than you thought possible, we are here to help you work through life's difficulties.

Sometimes we encounter challenges that may be overwhelming, and extremely painful to bare alone such as depression, anxiety, loss, grief, or abandonment.
