Chances are if you are reading this, you are looking to improve something in your life or are concerned for a friend or loved one. You may have read several profiles at this point and are trying to figure out how you will know which therapist is a good fit for you. I would love for you to give me a call! Often a quick phone call can be the best way to get answers to your questions. I enjoy helping people and I would be happy to talk to you about your options for counseling.
Here are a few highlights about me if you would like to know more before calling. I keep my practice small so the counseling environment is one that's relaxed and warm. This keeps me focused and balanced, allowing me to provide compassionate and personalized care for my clients.
I specialize in treating anxiety and in building self-acceptance. I often help clients with life transitions like graduating college/graduate school, becoming a parent, entering the workforce or a job change, empty-nesting, parenting adult children, and retirement. I also offer "walk & talk" sessions in the outdoors. Lastly, I love what I do and it shows!

"
I often use MBCT and CBT in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. We'll look at the connection between downward thought spirals and unrealistically high standards, feelings that we are "not good enough", ways we put pressure on ourselves, and the internalized beliefs that cause suffering.
