I use a nonjudgemental, person centered, integrative approach where I assist you with increasing your own self-awareness. I believe interventions should be individually tailored as everyone develops in their own way. By being compassionate and genuine, I hope to create a space for personal growth and healing. Together we explore challenges while identifying existing strengths to help you live a more authentic and meaningful life.

So, you’re contemplating seeking out therapy. Congratulations, it takes a lot of courage to recognize that there are things you may want to explore, change, and/or better understand about yourself, the way you see others, and/or your environment. Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with and trust can be difficult. Painful life experiences, past trauma and current situations can lead you to feel stuck, depressed and anxious. I believe that we all have areas of our life that warrant closer examination. As your therapist, I aim to create an empathic judgement-free space where we can work together to achieve your goals.

The decision to pursue therapy requires vulnerability and risk. Choosing a therapist who understands this reality is important. Like most adults, you may be seeking therapy to explore why your relationships are unsatisfying or why you feel unfulfilled. You may hope to understand how painful emotions like shame, sadness, and anger have affected you. Many adults seek solutions on their own, only to feel stuck in repetitive cycles of behavior that produce momentary relief.

Along the journey through life challenges are inevitable and there aren't always easy or clear answers about why things happen and what to do about them. We want our lives and life itself to have value, meaning and purpose; and finding or creating these things for ourselves can be confusing, frustrating and even scary. However, finding our deeper reason(s) in life can also be rewarding, exciting and empowering experience that provides the hope, courage, strength and tenacity needed to face challenges in life. Having the courage to begin this process and asking for support along the way doesn't mean you're weak, it makes you strong!

If you are feeling stuck and uncertain how to make changes therapy can help. I work with adults and adolescents to overcome doubt, change unhealthy patterns, improve relationships, and find healthy ways to cope. For some that means approaching the things they avoid, taking down emotional walls, changing their substance use, gaming/internet use, or other unhealthy behaviors. I specialize in anxiety and mood issues, substance use, addictive behaviors, and men's issues . If you want to chat more or learn more about the practice my website provides additional info about my experience and approach. I also offer a free phone consultation.

The decision to seek assistance from someone outside of your family, social, and work circles takes courage regardless of the reason. This step may seem like a giant leap when you typically consider yourself a self-sufficient, problem-solving, working professional! I strive to create a healthy therapeutic relationship in which you feel safe enough to identify strengths and areas for growth to overcome the barriers to your goals. I have particular interest in assisting working professionals who are struggling with grief, loss, and men's issues .

My aim is to help clients find comfort with emotional vulnerability and healing through introspection of thoughts, behaviors, and values which prompts new action.

I am a thoughtful, compassionate, collaborative, and patient professional with 10+ years of experience. Let's consult and determine if I am a good fit!

I collaborate with adults in individual and relationship counseling. Typical issues I support them with are depression, anxiety, grief, addictions, eating disorders, LGBT concerns, ACOA issues, stress, men's issues , and if it a specific client request - spirituality concerns. I offer Wednesday, Friday and Saturday appointments by telehealth exclusively. Due to the convenience and popularity of telehealth, I hold all meetings via telehealth and no longer offer in-person office sessions.

STUCK? Anxious? Depressed? I have 35 years of professional experience facilitating people's growth, change, and healing.

I believe counseling is a way for everyone to process the events that have happened or are happening in their lives, and work alongside them to develop positive coping skills. Clients can expect for me to meet them where they are in life and approach our counseling relationship with empathy, interest, and intuition. I enjoy working with individuals from adolescents to adults and providing couples' counseling, including pre-marital, marriage counseling, infertility, and adoption. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, men's issues , and sex addiction.

My ideal client is a person seeking a better understanding of, and relationship with themselves. They are a person who simply wants to be ok being who it is they are. Some of us hold a clear idea of the life we'd like to be living, while others are only beginning to see a way out of their current circumstances. Any person living this life can find themselves needing or wanting a little support in becoming who it is they are becoming.

I help people struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship problems, family conflict, identity concerns, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. I believe that lasting change only happens when people feel they're talking to a real person who understands the cultural complexities that make them unique. My work is collaborative and built on the trusting relationships I take time to develop with my clients.
