I have 25 years of experience addressing trauma, stress, youth issues, childhood abuse, physical and sexual violence, self-esteem, anxiety disorders, identity, grief and loss, posttraumatic healing, and recovering from mass casualty events and targeted violence. That means I am here for the typical life struggles that people face, and I can handle the really heavy stuff.

We live in a complex world. COVID-19 is a tipping point for many folks. I offer online support for people experiencing despair. Despair is different than depression- something that you intuitively know. Depression is a clinical diagnosis often associated with a chemical imbalance. Despair is a psycho-spiritual imbalance. It is the language of oppression. Despair is hopelessness and a loss of meaning. It is, essentially, the anxiety that comes from an inability to be oneself in a strange (and beautiful) world.

Are you feeling stuck, as if life has more to offer but you aren't sure how to get there? Perhaps you're confused on what to do next? Maybe you're seeking change but unsure of how to go about it.

Do you struggle emotionally, relationally, spiritually, and physically? Experiencing repeating patterns of fear, anger, or sadness? Exhausting. There is good news. You are making a courageous and bold choice to consider counseling. It’s probably not an easy decision but it may be far more worth it than remaining stuck in your current struggle. The fact that you are open to counseling speaks to your strength, your resiliency and your desire to fight for your life back.

When providing therapy, my goal is for us to develop a trusting therapeutic relationship in which our work together leads to you living a life with increased meaning and fulfillment. This can involve navigating through barriers such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, problematic/compulsive behaviors, lack of direction, etc. Often this includes identifying barriers, personal values that really matter, stories we tell ourselves that are no longer serving helpful purposes, deepening understandings of ourselves and relationships, and implementing strategies that improve quality of life.
