Welcome! My practice is open during early EVENING hours to accommodate all schedules. I have been fortunate to have 16 years of counseling experience in both the school setting and the private sector. I have had the pleasure of working with clients ranging in ages 4-18, adults, and with families. While working with children and adolescents, I believe that the family dynamic is an extremely important part of the therapeutic process, and will often involve parents and siblings in therapy when it is helpful.

Anxiety is exhausting. It traps us in our own thoughts and isolates us from loved ones and activities we once enjoyed. Depression can weigh us down and make us forget our strengths. Trauma reduces life to a few painful memories, crowds out positive moments, and replaces them with anxiety and grief.

I help them recover their identities through a range of therapies, including EMDR and DBT.

Deciding to come to counseling is a difficult one. My passion is to “walk along side” the person who ready to be challenged and work through being "stuck" from distressing experiences.

I am a compassionate person. I believe in treating everyone the way I would like to be treated, with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. My counseling approach is eclectic therapy. Eclectic therapy draws on multiple theoretical orientations and techniques to find the best fit for clients’ needs.

There is hope, even when we navigate life without an owner’s manual. We can learn how to understand our experiences and let go of anxiety, depression, trauma, and interpersonal troubles. A bottom-up approach to integrating body, mind, and soul is necessary to tackle a new way of thinking, being, and doing. We start by gently befriending our body sensations and emotions because we don’t do as we think, we do as we feel. In that way, we learn to connect to our inner wisdom, inherent power, and resilience and move towards our best selves. These potential lives in you. Connection and inner safety are our birthrights.

All to often individual’s, couples and families view therapy as a one and done, one-sided conversation where all their problems can be solved quickly. Life is hard enough and when you add depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, grief, eating disorders, addiction or other life controlling issues to your daily life the day ahead often seems impossible. The key is finding your voice and learning how to use it to achieve your dreams, goals, hopes and desires so you can live your best life, the life you have always wanted. Discovering want it means to be real and authentic makes the process of staying stuck where you are more difficult.

You have days when your thoughts keep racing over and over and over again in your mind. Sometimes, you just feel so anxious and miserable. You don't know what you can do to change things or to make the thoughts stop. Maybe you feel that nothing you do is ever good enough and you're plagued by "the shoulds". You know what I mean. "I should be a better partner, parent, friend, colleague. The list goes on and on. Our thoughts create our reality. And, today's adult thoughts are often the product of our childhood history.

Part of being human is that we experience many different emotions throughout our lives. Situations can come up that are unexpected and create problems. We may also find ourselves at a crossroad having to sort through difficult emotions from the present and the past. Whatever it is that you may be experiencing, I offer you an environment where you can feel comfortable so that you can make changes in your life. I see my role as facilitating a process for change. This includes helping you to identify your strengths, clarify your values, educate you on the change process and advocate and coach as needed.

You want to keep moving on with your life, but something is in the way. You may feel stuck, unmotivated, depressed, anxious, scared, and so much more.

Brokenness and disillusionment in marriage saddens me because I know there is a better way.

Many events in life that bring us joy also come with stress, uncertainty & loss. While struggles experienced from major life transitions can be painful, they provide us with opportunities for growth. Working with clients who are adjusting to a major life change is something I am passionate about as a therapist. Getting married, starting a family, struggling in a relationship, contemplating or going through divorce, changing or leaving a career, becoming empty nesters, these are common transitions that can be hard to deal with and make us question our identity. If you need support dealing with a major life change I'm here to help.
