I believe a strong therapeutic alliance is vital to the counseling process and I hope to create a space where all people can feel welcome. I predominantly works with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, past and current traumas, the LGBTQIA+ community, ADHD, and those struggling with self-esteem and body image issues.

Depressed? Anxious? Need Relationship help? Need to resolve trauma? I can help. Meeting the needs and challenges of my clients is what counseling is all about for me. I believe that people who come to see me should leave with the tools they need to create the lives they want to live. As a down-to-earth, interactive therapist, my treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve problems in the present, and long-standing patterns of behavior that are hindering them from the past.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and have been working primarily in schools for 20 years. As a counselor, I will integrate all I have learned to help clients cope with stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief. It’s my belief that we can heal when we befriend our bodies and learn to make connections between our thinking mind, emotions, and physical self.

Coaching focuses on learning NEW relational skills TODAY that you can USE tomorrow in your relationships. I have 10+ years treating couples in a clinical setting. I have created my couples coaching program based on years of experience and hundreds of couples . Coaching is a great fit if BOTH of you are committed to growing together. Coaching immediately addresses old patterns and starts the process of changing unhealthy dynamics. Coaching includes education and laser-focused feedback. Please note: if you are looking for couples therapy, this is not what I provide. My clinical practice is not accepting new clients.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe that it is vitally important to provide individuals with a safe place to promote healthy recovery, growth, and personal development. I find it also critical to promote an environment which encourages the sharing of concerns, feelings, and all other issues which may be impacting one’s life. Through a collaborative process, I partner with my clients in order to assist in exploring and processing present day challenges or unresolved conflicts or trauma. Through my educational pursuits and my personal life experiences, I have gained a deep understanding of life's challenges.

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".

Currently accepting Telehealth clients! Seeking therapy is brave and I consider the therapeutic relationship a privilege. My focus is on helping individuals walk through their experiences to become the person they want to be.

Are you or a loved one struggling with difficult thoughts and emotions? Maybe life feels unmanageable at times? Perhaps you are going through a challenging chapter in life right now, or you have experienced trauma that is impacting your relationships or wellbeing? These things can be overwhelming, but you do not have to go through them alone. You matter your feelings matter, your voice matters, and your unique qualities and strengths matter. There is no one-size-fits-all, no single answer. My approach will be catered to you, your needs, and what feels safe for you. It takes courage to ask for help and I am glad you are here.

Accepting new clients. ‘How did I get here’. ‘How do I get out,’ are common thoughts we all have. We learn to survive and do the best in the worlds we have grown up in; and sometimes we find ourselves going round and round in a strange sort of ‘uncomfortable comfort’ or ‘functional dysfunction’ of our lives. I strive to see the world through your lens and understand your unique family, cultural, and identity experiences. In every individual exists a craving to embody a life unburdened by excessive guilt and shame, while having the freedom to enjoy a more meaningful and joyful human experience.

I have a true passion for creating a strong therapeutic relationship allowing each client to feel safe and respected. Within that safe space, the possibilities of communication, self-awareness, problem-solving, acceptance, strengths-building, and technique acquisition become achievable. Most of my experience is with adolescents and teens but I am eager to work with adults and couples as well. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, peer-conflict, and grief. I practice Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and Strength-based therapy, and Humanistic Therapy. I look forward to working with you.
