I believe that people have journeyed a long way to come to therapy, bringing with them vast and complicated histories. These histories are often fraught with moments of pain, disconnect, and isolation from one’s world and loved ones. I believe that therapy is a space for an ongoing relationship where one may feel safe, secure, and understood by the therapist as a means to feel connected once again the self, others, and the world.

*Now accepting new clients** Are you dealing with stress, anxiety, depression? Do you suffer from addiction? Do you sometimes wonder how you will make it through the day? Let me help strengthen your toolbox. I am a skilled therapist who believes that my job is to meet each individual where they are in order to get them to where they want to be. I believe that change is made through establishing nonjudgmental, supportive and healthy relationships. My focus is to create a collaborative, warm and comfortable environment in which clients feel safe to explore their "TRUTHS".

It is ironic that during this time of shelter in place that we need to be connected to others more than ever. For most people, this pandemic increases anxiety, loneliness and stresses our personal and family resources. Many experience echoes of past trauma that interfere with present relationships. This is a time when anxiety and anger may rise to the surface, but the depth of the pain, anger or frustration doesn't make sense. Sometimes it is sadness from grief or a loss from the past or fear of imminent loss. Having grown up in a military family, I understand a lot about adjusting to change and starting over.

Our practice is dedicated to serving marginalized and diverse people, especially LGBTQ+ individuals. We provide gender transition-related support, including referral letters for hormones and surgeries when needed. People are often nervous about their first therapy session. If that's you, take a deep breath, and imagine what you could get out of therapy! Almost everyone feels more relaxed by the end of the first session. It just takes getting started.

LIFE'S JOURNEY COUNSELING IS ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. I work with adolescents, adults and families to address a wide range of emotional and interpersonal problems such as depression, anxiety, PTSD/Trauma, ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, grief and loss, and relationship issues. I collaborate with my clients to help identify those self -defeating thoughts or events that have stifled their inner growth.

Healing from trauma, abuse, grief and loss along with a mood disorder can be overwhelming. Especially if you deal with it alone. Are loved ones telling you to "fix it" but you're not sure how? Everyone possesses a resiliency that is yet to be discovered that can help you overcome these obstacles. We will uncover your positive qualities that have helped you to survive and will help you to live the life you were meant to. The teletherapy environment is supportive and non-judgmental to allow growth at your own pace. EMDR is an option for treatment.

I take pride in providing therapeutic services to clients in a warm and inviting atmosphere.Seeking help for personal issues can be intimidating and I believe each individual should be treated as a person and not as a label or a diagnosis. I engage each person that I encounter with respect, compassion, and an understanding of the uniqueness of every situation. I have acquired much experience working with a wide variety of people and mental health issues in a community mental health setting. I am prepared to face any issue presented to me with an open mind and willingness to find solutions together.

Are your emotions out of control? Do you feel the need to control your environment? Are you experiencing any physical or emotional symptoms that no one is able to explain? Have you experienced anxiety or uncontrolled panic attacks in what would be considered a normal situation? Maybe you blocked out all or part of an event that you struggle to understand. If you can identify with any of these, you may be suffering from a traumatic reaction to a past event.

Do you feel like your life and relationships are spinning out of control? Sometimes life can throw punches...that we're not prepared for. We often feel as if nobody understands or can hear our frustrations. I offer you a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental environment to discuss life issues. It is important to me that my clients feel comfortable and have the freedom to discuss what ever life brings their way. I invite my clients the opportunity to heal, revive, and restore their life, relationships, and mind.

It is my deep belief that we each strive to be our best selves. This journey can be difficult and requires that we are able to recognize our own personal strengths and values.

(I am unable to take new clients at this time.) Most of us run into moments in our lives when what we are doing just isn't working anymore. Life stress, relationships, or unexpected events often throw us off course. Healing comes with deepening your understanding of yourself and past or present relationships, creating healthy habits and letting go of negative ones. I take a systems approach to therapy and one that invites you to set goals for therapy in a warm and safe environment.

TRUST – It’s a simple word, but for those who have been hurt – physically, sexually, emotionally, or spiritually – it’s far from simple to do. Trust is not something I will expect from you initially, but something I will feel honored to earn, as our therapeutic alliance grows and we celebrate together the courage it took for you to seek therapy. I can help you discover what you would like your life to become, even if that sounds impossible right now. I am an LCSW with experience in working with adults and children. I believe individual change can break cycles of abuse and promote parenting styles to build up future generations.
