My hope is to be a first step in overcoming feelings of isolation and loneliness. If your world has been turned upside-down, either from the loss of a loved one or life's hardships, let's connect. Learning how to trust and practice new life skills are foundational in moving forward in relationships.

If you find yourself in the midst of profound darkness, I would love to help you reclaim your life, however I see clients with a wide variety of troubles. I enjoy meeting with adults who find themselves deconstructing their trauma, family dynamics, spirituality, and/or grief. I also enjoy meeting with young adults through their late teens and twenties as they navigate many life transitions which require some extra guidance and compassion. Along with trauma care, I see clients struggling with depression, anxiety, abuse (sexual, physical, psychological/emotional, and spiritual), emotional turmoil, addiction, and mental illnesses.

I work with individuals, couples and families who have come to understand that various aspects of their lives may be in the need of change. A willingness to self-reflect along with a desire to move towards wellness are two critical elements essential for lasting change and personal growth. My role as a counselor is to journey alongside those willing to embrace transition into wellness and wholeness by their own definition. I offer a solution based, emotion focused, positive approach in dealing with the difficulties of life.

About a decade ago I attended a conference at the Omega Institute and was reawakened to the immense suffering in the world and I realized there was no more time to waste. I needed to change careers in order to be of service. All of my life I wanted to be a healer and pursued a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health. My approach is mindful, practical, respectful and always hopeful. I believe each of us holds the key to our own healing within our highest sense of Self. My role is to help support that discovery process through thoughtful exploration, creativity and a little humor.

Limited online sessions currently available! The cracks, bumps, potholes, and debris in life’s journey can wear you out. They can make you tired, beat you down, and terrify you to the point of paralysis. Counseling gives you a place of peace, security, and nonjudgmental reflection. I believe that it is my role to help facilitate the change you want in your life. Whether it is the general anxieties of life, specific trauma, or the pain of grief I am skilled to walk with you through the most difficult moments of your life providing you with the support and tools you need to overcome the chaos of it all.

The clients I serve are often at a crossroads in their life story and unsure of how to close one chapter and begin anew. Clients I enjoy working with recognize that counseling continues outside of the session in self reflection, exploring behavior change, and shifting how we think and relate to ourselves. I find that counseling helps meet goals and needs as diverse as the client, and sometimes goals arise throughout the course of the relationship. No one needs a "good reason" to come to counseling, for the desire to reach out and try will always be sufficient.

I sincerely trust in an individual’s ability to heal, even from profound pain and trauma, and have dedicated my professional life to guiding patients through some of the most challenging times of their lives. My practice focuses on intimacy and reproductive well-being, as well as a wide range of psychological concerns, including: anxiety, recovery following illness or medical trauma, relationship concerns, and grief. I also make it a sincere priority to provide a welcoming space for the LGBTQIA community. My website presents a great deal of information about sexual therapy, simply because it is often omitted from healing, sadly.

In my ten years as a counselor, it's been my privilege to care for men, teens, and couples wrestling with depression, stress, and anxiety; addiction (drugs and alcohol; gambling; sexual...); the grief involved with divorce; the struggles associated with life's transitions; difficulties in school and relationships; and family conflict. My hope is that the men and women I talk to would be able to experience intimacy in their relationships, fullness of life, and find success in their daily lives.

Thank you for clicking on my page. I have been where you are. Searching for the right therapist can be challenging, and I want to make this step easier for you by letting you know: this is about you! Let’s be honest, you are facing challenges that brought you here. Maybe you are having challenges in relationships or marriage, perhaps you are overwhelmed by grief, or you might be haunted by the effects of a traumatic past. Regardless of the challenge, the pain is real and you need help! It’s not about me. It’s about you and your journey towards rising beyond the pain, to shine your light and have healthy relationships.
