As a counselor, I believe that working through issues such as depression, anxiety, co-dependency, addictions... in present time is very important, along with examining wounds from childhood that are barriers to moving forward. Through this work, healing can occur with understanding, self-compassion, authenticity, and positive change. Most people come to therapy related to feelings based on fear or pain. I provide a warm and compassionate place that allows my clients to openly share and have a voice that is respected and heard. I look forward to hearing your story.

Hi, you took the first step! Considering therapy is a major step towards regaining control of your life and moving towards healing. Being vulnerable and trusting a stranger with your innermost secrets and thoughts can be uncomfortable, intimidating, or just not your thing. At the same time, continuing to hide or ignore negative feelings can be emotionally exhausting and disruptive to your life. Let me give you a space where you can be your authentic self express yourself without judgement. Together, we can figure out the path to where the problem lies and change begins.

Many individuals are facing harsh realities of feeling empty inside, struggling with maintaining healthy relationships as well as feeling burnout from work. While covid can explain much of the perceived unwanted change happening, for many it has led to self-reflection and understanding one’s traumas and dormant issues that may now be impacting relationships and interactions with others. Collaboratively, we can unpack trauma, attachment types and communication styles that influence your relationships and overall mental wellbeing. Once you invest in your mental health, you will be able to live the life you choose in all domains.

For 25 years I've been helping men and women experience more clarity, feel empowered, and overcome their feelings of depression and anxiety. Whether you are struggling with past trauma, relationship issues, problems with work, or feel stuck in any area, I will support you in creating the kind of life you want. Together we will explore the negative beliefs, emotions and behaviors that have held you back and clear the emotional charge associated with them, so that you can begin to accept and love yourself and make healthy and life-enhancing choices moving forward.

Narcissistic Abuse Recovery, You thought you met your soul mate; found the perfect partner; that one special person in the universe. He was so attentive to every detail to please you. Idealized. Then in a blink of an eye you were devalued, or perhaps replaced and discarded multiple times, only to be ‘hoovered’ and lured back into an abuse cycle. Your sense of self has been eroded, diminished. We can help you find your way back to YOU, help you love yourself again. Help you heal.

Is your life and your behavior impacted by events from the past? That's a very common side effect of trauma. Trauma impacts the ways in which we respond to every day stimulation and can shape our choices in healthy and unhealthy ways. According to research, more than half of men and women have experienced a trauma in their life time and 2 out of 5 women and 1 out of 6 men have experienced sexual trauma. You're not alone in this pain and I would love to help you through it. Using talk therapy combined with EMDR, we will build a safe place for you to process your hurt and be able to unwind what the brain has been holding on to.

At times everyone struggles and feels overwhelmed by challenging events (past or present), confusing feelings, and painful thoughts. It is helpful to have a confidential, objective, and experienced guide to sort through all this. I understand your cares and struggles. Those things that you feel as if you lost in childhood, teen years and even now can be replaced. You can see all things differently, and live the rest of your life with a different perspective, in newness loving yourself like you have never loved yourself before. You are worth it, you deserve it. This is a shared journey toward healing and creating your best life.

My focus in working with clients is to help foster personal awareness, to draw out inner strengths, and provide tools to cope with life's challenges. All of us have certain thoughts and behaviors that are unhealthy and at times can even be destructive or keep us stuck. My hope is that the therapeutic relationship creates a deeper, richer understanding and acceptance of the underlying issues in one's life.

Becoming a mother can be rewarding, but also confusing and scary. The journey of trying to get pregnant, being pregnant, and transitioning to motherhood is often filled with mixed emotions and anxiety.

Either way, I am here to help support YOU in this important life transition.

It is an honor and privilege when people choose to reach out and share some of the most vulnerable areas of their lives with me, and is not something I take lightly. I understand that choosing to inquire about counseling means different things for different people, and that each person brings a different life journey. I love walking along side my clients, empowering them to make healthy changes, while approaching each person with empathy, genuineness, and warmth.

Often our life experiences create stories through which we relate to ourselves, others, and the world. You may be full of doubts about your abilities, your future, even your self worth. Maybe you wonder if you are "enough," and find that you are constantly trying to meet everyone else’s expectations. Maybe you believe that other's needs should take priority over your own. You don’t have to be powerless. Together we can find a way forward. Through mindfulness techniques and a compassion centered approach, I work to support women in accessing their inner power, developing self-trust, and building the life they want.
