Welcome! It's wonderful that you are considering therapy, and I am here to help. I believe we are capable of far more than we realize. I think of myself as a guide to self-discovery and self-realization. Through couples and individual therapy I have successfully helped people significantly improve their relationships, decrease conflict, depression, anxiety, and self-destructive patterns such as alcoholism and eating disorders. Working together I have also helped people enhance their self-esteem, communication, boundaries, and helped people work through loss, trauma, school and career difficulties.

I am passionate about helping my clients create positive change in their lives. In my career, I have helped women from all walks of life who struggle with depression, anxiety, symptoms related to traumatic experiences, self-esteem issues and biologically based mental illness. Even though their stories and lived experiences varied, each sought support because they wanted to feel better, decrease their sense of isolation and increase positive coping skills. I love to help women discover their inner strengths, increase their feelings of personal safety, deepen their sense of agency and reclaim ownership of their lives.

Counselor, MA, LMHC

I believe we are all capable of improving our lives. Many of us become stuck or overwhelmed in the process due to self doubt, insecurity, lack of self esteem, past or present trauma and losses, to name a few. Seeking therapy doesn’t mean that there is something wrong with you. Life is challenging. Sometimes we need a little help in identifying and overcoming the barriers that hold us back. Therapy can be a powerful tool in helping you gain insight and strengthen your skills and confidence in developing new patterns and behaviors that help enhance the quality of your life.

There is a misconception that therapy is a place to seek advice, or vent to a therapist who sits passively, nodding with tacit understanding. Instead, imagine a therapy that makes no attempt to reduce symptoms, but achieves symptom reduction as a by-product. The more time and energy we spend trying to control, avoid, or get rid of unwanted private experiences the more we are likely to suffer psychologically in the long term. Therapy can support mindful action and direction which can then create a more meaningful life, even in the presence of pain.
