Openings available Sun through Wed for general counseling and trauma therapy (both "T" and "t"), including anxiety, and life transitions. Everyone experiences the unexpected. We can't change difficult situations of the past, but we can learn to understand the impact of life events and ways to move forward effectively and confidently. You can find relief from intrusive thoughts and ruminating, inability to concentrate, sleep disruption, anxiousness, irritability, over/under reacting, etc. We all have an innate drive to be well. I look forward to helping you feel the shift toward ease of being and a life worth celebrating.

NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME.... One of the most valuable gifts one can give themselves, is self-awareness. I acknowledge that a decision to come into counseling is a courageous act and I am committed to meeting the client where you are in your personal journey through compassion and in a non-judgmental way. I enjoy working with clients of all ages but have specific experience with children, adolescents, and family therapy.

I help people overcome, manage and find meaning in life’s challenges. It’s common to feel like you should just be able to “get over” hard emotional experiences. Rather than “getting over” whatever is causing pain, therapy can guide you to “go through” these experiences to gain more understanding, self-compassion and choice in how you move forward. My approach to therapy is multi-layered. I help you to develop a deeper relationship to yourself and to others. I also serve as a coach to help you change thoughts and behaviors that contribute to emotional suffering so you can feel more in control of the direction your life is heading.

Together, we will explore emotional and thinking patterns to identify the core experiences and beliefs driving emotional distress as well as the development of essential coping skills to manage life stressors. In couples counseling, we will focus on building effective emotional connections between partners, clear communication, and exploring emotional blocks to

As each person is unique, the best therapy is individualized. I am very flexible in meeting your needs through a variety of different approaches. I believe that people can change and that emotional suffering can be transformed. We will focus on gaining insights about the cause of your suffering, while also building new skills for managing the storms of life. Even though many problems seem overwhelming or impossible to change, by working together on seemingly small pieces we can bring about lasting changes that help you to have more of the life you want.

Accepting new clients. In my practice I work with individuals, couples, families, and small groups. Most of the people I see are between 13 and 75 years old; overcoming trauma, self-doubt, depression, anxiety, or loss. Many feel "different", marginalized, alone, misunderstood, or not "mainstream" enough. Some look fine, but feel out of place. Some are deaf or children of deaf adults (CODA). Others are physically challenged, caretakers, straight, lesbian, gay, transgendered, or unsure. After 30 years, I still feel it is honored to be part of the growth and change people experience as skills develop and clients " Enjoy Life More".

Being a parent and spouse are two of the most rewarding and challenging roles of adulthood. Now throw on-top of that a pandemic and potential negative impacts of social media on our children. Feeling overwhelmed yet? It's okay not to have it all figured out. It's okay to need a place to say "all the things" or to ask for a little help. I chose a couples and family masters degree program because I know the struggles of all of our conflicting roles in life while still, more than anything, wanting to be a "good" parent. And sometimes being a good parent makes it impossible to feel like a "good" spouse.

It has been said that we move at the speed of pain. It takes courage to seek help when the pain of life requires tools we haven't yet discovered. If you are looking for a counselor with not only theoretical but experiential life-tools, I am here for you. I’m able to offer expertise in trauma, anxiety management, depression, alcohol and substance abuse, grief, and parenting issues. My vision is whole-person health: mind, body, and spirit. My approach is based on the conviction that you are the expert on yourself. I support you through the process of finding the answers that align with your deepest longings for yourself.

In my work with clients, my first mission is to help you feel comfortable to share what is troubling. I believe compassion and non-judgment are the foundation of healing and growth. I see both individuals and couples. I help couples mend or strengthen their relationships in the face of life transitions, loss of trust, communication difficulties, and disconnection. I also work with individuals who want to restore balance, feel confident, and change patterned beliefs or behaviors. I have experience treating relationship issues, anxiety, depression, disordered eating, and trauma.

Do you have past hurts, trauma, and loss that has impacted your ability show up as the mom, partner, and individual you want to be? Your mind feels restless; you feel lost, distracted, and unsure how to do this? You aren’t quite sure the cause, but you know this depressed mood, anxiousness, or disconnection that you feel is not the way you want to continue living. Instead you long to find “balance”, connection, self-love/acceptance, and the ability to be you while being the best mom, partner, friend, boss, or coworker you can be. It is possible.

I believe that in therapy, the focus should first be on learning to gain acceptance of ourselves. I feel that our beliefs about ourselves are paramount because they shape the beliefs that we have about other people and in turn, the rest of our environment. After we identify the beliefs about ourselves that need to be adjusted, we can work on how to improve those beliefs, which will improve our interactions with others and the way that we see the world. I look forward to helping others with that process.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
