My focus is to help clients address and manage life's challenges and my therapy style is interactive, respectful, and responsive. I work with individuals to develop better coping skills, insight, and improved interpersonal communication, leading to increased emotional health and happiness. I provide a safe supportive environment in which to explore your concerns and help you use your strengths to make positive life changes. I tailor my approach to my clients' needs and have seen my clients with a wide array of challenges make tremendous growth in all areas of life.

Are you seeking new ways of thinking, behaving and interacting with your partner, spouse, family or friends? Are old relational patterns getting in the way of fulfillment and growth? Are you going through something that is testing your strength and ability to manage? Through personal and professional experiences I believe in the power of the therapeutic process and relationship in fostering insight, healing, and to empower change. My clients tell me my warmth, humor and grounded approach allows them to feel at ease.

I counsel individuals of all ages who are motivated to grow and are looking for greater peace or deeper meaning in their lives.

I hold a space of safety, confidentiality & upmost respect for my clients, the stories they have lived & their hopes for personal transformation. With my youngest clients, counseling is a collaborative process of shifting challenging habits & behaviors, or removing roadblocks impacting school adjustment and family harmony. I work in partnership with caregivers to take actionable steps, teaching skills & strategies to help children and adolescents thrive. With adult clients, we uncover patterns & behaviors causing pain, address trauma, shame, identity, or relationship issues; anything impacting optimal wellbeing.

Working through life's challenges can be difficult on our own. Sometimes we need guidance and professional support to help us navigate our worlds. I have over 20 years of experience providing counseling to adults, couples, and families who are struggling with various issues. My therapeutic approach is interactive, compassionate, and validating and can be tailored to meet your specific needs. I believe a therapist needs to be objective, empathetic, open, and kind.

Reaching out for help can be a scary and difficult decision. The decision to seek support is a courageous and positive first step toward a healthier and self-empowered way of being. I enjoy working with individuals who are ready to take this journey to find balance in their life.

I offer feedback, constructive suggestions and techniques. Client satisfaction is important to me. I look forward to working with you.
