All of us, at some point in our lives, are going to experience a significant emotional struggle. Whether individual or relational, we all encounter sometimes brief, sometimes longer, periods where our struggle may begin to feel overwhelming. My practice is founded on treating clients with a comprehensive psychosocial approach. Most individuals realize medication can temporarily retard the progress of symptoms through symptom reduction. Alone, medication cannot resolve the personal issues associated with long term increases in quality of life. I believe my best professional strengths are an abiding respect for the individual coming into my office, and a reliable resource to explore, educate and inform persons about critical life issues.

Updated Services: I am providing teletherapy (online) services and will verify your insurance coverage for this service. I am also offering modified therapeutic services for those impacted by COVID-19 including quarantined and at-risk individuals, service workers, healthcare professionals, grocery store employees and first responders. These services include a text and written communication throughout the day and scheduled phone calls. My desire is for therapeutic services during this time be accessible, flexible and affordable.

How on earth do you choose a great therapist? Seriously, I mean...look at the hundreds of wonderful therapists on this site! Picking a therapist can be intimidating, but don't let it daunt you! Studies continually show that, for therapy to be "successful," there needs to be a strong relationship between you and your therapist. That's it. Really. Skill and competency are important-yes-but a therapist's expertise won't shine through if you don't trust them.

All humans have inherent worth, yet a lack of self-worth is at the core of all emotional pain. I use a narrative approach to allow clients to share their story as they see it, and then help them change their story to better meet life goals. Self-defeating behaviors created throughout one's life to cope with difficult situations, such as trauma, gender identity and a lack of validation, can be changed when identified and understood. I join my client on their journey to become the person they desire. I have received training specific to the Foundations of Transgender Health to help my practice of affirming gender equality.

Each of us struggles with something. Some of us struggle with worry and obsessive thinking, others with moodiness or depression, some with hurtful relationships or a painful past, and still others with a serious illness or the death of a loved one. The good news is there is hope. Let me show you how to get relief from your symptoms and freedom from your pain so you can experience greater contentment and joy. I am a kind, non-judgmental listener who truly wants the best for you. Weekend appointments are available.

My professional focus is with adult women struggling with life, relationships and general stressors. Marriage, friendships and parenting are just a few examples. Are you unhappy, worried or just can't seem to find joy? When we stop taking care of ourselves and live according to other people's expectations, we lose our authentic self - we lose the ability to experience joy and wholeness. By working with a therapist in a positive and accepting environment, you can uncover your strengths and gain the tools to cope with difficult times.

I am currently taking new clients. My goal in counseling is to create a comfortable and trusting environment to explore areas of life that are challenging, stressful or ineffective. My style is compassionate, encouraging and motivating. Through individual oriented services that utilize research-validated treatment approaches, I strive to empower clients to increase self-worth and gain new insights of possible solutions. My focus is on the client's experience and assisting each person to achieve their goals. Treatment is confidential, person-centered and strength based.

“You either walk inside your story and own it, or you stand outside and hustle for your worthiness.” (B.Brown) Often times, it can feel like you're not the author of "your story." If you're experiencing negative emotions such as shame, anger, bitterness, self-doubt, resentment, or disappointment, you may feel stuck. Having a safe environment in which you can feel accepted and can explore why you're feeling stuck can help you find the solutions you need to move forward. As a result, you can create the story of your life, the way you want it to be. i you're struggling in any of these areas, I'd love to help you find your worthiness.

"People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost" - Dalai Lama. Do you have moments of feeling alone or unsupported? Do experience overwhelming anxiety, feeling trapped or stuck in old patterns? Are there times, you feel lost, or disconnected from yourself or others? Parenting, careers, relationships, the daily ins-and-outs of just being human can sometimes feel overwhelming. Past traumas or old, untended wounds may hamper your progress. I believe the therapy process is an opportunity for individuals to experience personal growth and change.

Do you know how being stuck feels? No matter what you do, things just don't seem to get any better? Life gets sticky for us all. Sometimes all we need is a little extra help. No matter what you're going through, I believe you are special and deserve the right help. Happiness & wholeness can be yours. You were meant to be whole. Not sure what this looks like? That's okay, here's where I come in. While it may look impossible, rest assured a positive counseling experience may be just what you need.

Is your marriage or family in crisis? If you're going to break out of the patterns that created the crisis, you need an outside perspective. As a marriage and family therapist, I am trained to get you out of the "blame game" and into authentic conversations that can heal your hurt. If your marriage isn't working or your family is suffering, it's time to invest in the skills that can reconnect you.

Everyone experiences a time in their life when it is difficult to function at their full potential. Emotions and relationships can often overwhelm our daily functioning and we experience a feeling of being stuck in our current situation. These difficult emotions have often been a part of us for so long that we do not realize there is a different way of living. If you are struggling with emotions, relationships, addiction or you find yourself repeating the same patterns, I would like the opportunity to work with you.

I have been working as a therapist for over 20 years and have gained much from my clients’ and my own personal experiences. Through the years, I have learned that there is not a one-size-fits-all modality for therapy. I will work with you using a variety of techniques including mindfulness, CBT, Client-Centered, Solution-Focused, Cognitive Challenging, and Play Therapy - to name a few.

I love helping couples and families become more connected, secure, and attached to one another. Relationships are difficult in any season of life, especially in the midst of a global pandemic. I believe that all people are created for connection and belonging and live their most enjoyable lives when they feel secure within relationships. My therapeutic style is warm, engaging, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and does not believe in stigmatizing labels.

I am so honored that you stopped to view my profile. Whether you have had therapy in the past or never made the time to do so, I believe seeking services at this time in your life is a step in the right direction. I have used evidence based therapeutic interventions to help children, adults, couples and families to make positive changes in their lives. Fundamentally, my approach is client centered, solution focused and strengths based. My hope is that you would be empowered to identify and make changes necessary to meet your idea of successful functioning in every area of your life.

Counseling provides the opportunity for growth and self-discovery in the context of a safe, supportive, and therapeutic relationship. My therapeutic orientation draws on several counseling theories. Together the client and I work to identify thoughts and beliefs that may impact feelings, as well as deepen their understanding of choices they make and patterns in their life. Basic to my approach is a respect for a person and his or her ability to grow and change. I believe people possess a desire to heal and grow.
