Areas often addressed in therapy include; grief and loss, family changes, and communication styles many of which are positively impacted by increasing 'Emotional Intelligence'. Emotional Intelligence encompasses self-awareness, understanding and managing emotions, learning how to appropriately respond and connect to people/situations, and developing and maintaining healthy relationships. Adults, as well as, children often experience frustration when attempting to balance the demands of life while making and maintaining connections with others.

It is important to find a therapist you connect with. My clients find that my warm and compassionate approach to therapy makes it easy to connect with me. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and AASECT certified sex therapist (CST), I counsel couples looking to improve their relationship, find ways to re-connect and build a healthier, more satisfying relationship. I specialize in working with individuals and couples experiencing sexual difficulties such as low/high sexual desire, painful sex (i.e. vaginismus, vulvodynia, etc.), orgasm difficulties, and intimacy issues after cancer.

I enjoy working with individuals, groups, and families seeking therapy to cope with grief/bereavement, life transitions (e.g. graduation, job loss, marriage, divorce, geographic relocation, etc.), medical concerns, employment burnout, anxiety, and depression.

Stress, anxiety and relationship challenges can be overwhelming. Sometimes it feels like it's too much to face on your own. Finding the right counselor with whom you feel connected is important. You want to feel comfortable with your therapist and confident in their ability to help you. With over 20 years experience counseling people of ALL ages and a tool-box brimming with therapeutic resources and techniques, you can experience relief from stress and anxiety and have hope for better days ahead. And if after we meet if it feels I'm not the right therapist for you, I'll help you find one that is.

As a solution focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life for the present and future.

Are you a perfectionist who struggles with being too harsh with yourself or others? Maybe you know that caring support would be helpful, but you're not usually the person to reach out for help. Sometimes, when we place high value on perfection, we can struggle with judging ourselves, disconnection in relationships and the pressure of carrying the stress and anxiety of it all. I offer a safe place for you to begin unpacking things, and learn to approach life from a place of openness, kindness, and peace.

I enjoy working with relationships and relational problems, self-esteem and self-hate, trauma and recovery, identity concerns (including but not limited to sexuality, diversity in gender, atheists and other types of secular individuals), and veterans. I also have worked in a VA CBOC outpatient clinic and have an extensive history of work with young adults (specifically in collegiate mental health).

My ideal client is anyone who wants help, is willing to be open and honest, and is willing to put in some work to explore how they can live their best life. They may know exactly what they want to accomplish, or they may not. If they don't, together we can work to clear the fog and reveal the path to the life they want to live. They may be battling depression, anxiety, ADHD, past trauma, or anything in between. They may need a safe place to process past events, reveal and express their feelings, practice coping skills, or learn new systems to help them live their best life.

There’s more to life than just working and caring for others. You struggled to build this life for yourself, but now there’s little joy in it. You feel disconnected, alone. You yearn to do more than just survive. You want to explore new parts of yourself, deepen your relationships, and find new energy for life. How can you get there when right now your plate is so full you’re barely making it through the day? Things can get better. I will walk with you through this time of awakening and help you refocus on your own needs as you journey toward the life you want. A life full of authenticity and connection.

At Orion Psychotherapy, our mission is to support the expressive experiences of adolescents, adults, couples, and families, facilitating meaningful discovery and intentional change. With a Humanistic foundation and a person-centered approach, I meet you where you are and tailor techniques to your unique challenges. To be frank, I do much more than ask good questions and provide affirming vibes. I view treating mental illness and fostering mental health as distinct skills, encouraging clients to invest as much effort in addressing negative and dissociative emotions as they do in cultivating positive ones.

If life is feeling hard or you're just feeling stuck, I'm here to walk alongside you and help you determine what you need next. I believe deeply in this process of therapy and in creating a warm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can feel free to be and express themselves fully. Maybe you are dealing with relationship concerns, overwhelming anxiety or feelings of sadness and despair. Perhaps you have unresolved trauma or childhood pain, or experience feelings of detachment or impulsivity. Maybe you feel a little lost and are looking to find your voice and your purpose.
