Together, we can explore a range of approaches: whatever works. But - so you know where I’m coming from - in the end, it’s always about relationships. I’d like to meet you.

Do you find yourself feeling alone and stuck, letting your anxiety get the best of you, or not bouncing back from upsets as quickly as you’d like to? Perhaps you’ve made some life decisions you thought would lead to happiness, but you’re not feeling as good as you’d hoped? Maybe you’re dealing with a chronic illness or other health related challenge, or you feel unsatisfied with some of your closest relationships. Life can be hard, and everyone needs help sometimes. In fact, humans are by nature collaborative. It can be difficult to see all the possibilities when your mood or hurts from your past are getting in the way.

We are born inherently intact, hard wired to experience life fully in all its beauty. By no fault of our own, life often leads us astray from our true nature, and we are left depressed, anxious, traumatized: hurting. By choosing to enter a therapeutic relationship with a caring other, I strongly believe that we can reconnect with that core energy and vitality. Therapy can be the vehicle to healing the mind, connecting with our core spirit, and achieving the personal growth and fulfillment that we all seek as humans. I would be honored to be that caring other and accompany you on your journey of healing and fulfillment.

As of 7/1/23, I am not currently accepting new clients and will update this when that changes. We often become stuck in unhealthy thinking patterns or habits, which can be the result of difficult past experiences or phase of life stressors. However, I believe everyone has the ability to achieve desired change. The client-worker relationship is important to me, and I begin working to develop a meaningful connection through understanding the specific needs of each person I work with.

When life presents challenges that are too difficult to manage on one's own, it's helpful to collaborate with a psychotherapist to create change that is both tangible and meaningful. Over the course of more than 20 years of practice, I've had the privilege of working with individuals, groups, families and couples from a wide array of backgrounds. I embrace the importance and uniqueness of diverse cultural backgrounds that influence one's life. My approach is best described as: interactive, compassionate, humorous, nonjudgmental and respectful.

Please email for limited availability When you are struggling or feeling something is just not right, it can be hard to figure out next steps. Stress, depression, and anxiety can interfere with relationships, school, work, and sense of belonging. For those who feel they have unhealthy or unwanted thoughts, feelings or habits, therapy can be a place to explore and create a path forward. Sometimes you just need a space to be open and honest, to be heard without judgement, to speak your truth. I work to create a comfortable and reflective environment that helps to build insight and highlight inner strength.

There is meaning behind your behavior. The ways in which we interact with the world provide clues to what we are experiencing internally. It may be incredibly challenging to articulate precisely what is bothering you, but I'm confident we can work together to increase insight and understanding in a meaningful way. I specialize in adolescents and young adults and am happy to discuss the possibility of working together. UPDATE: Welcome Mango to the treatment team (see photos)! Mango is an adorable Havanese therapy puppy in training. She attends in-office sessions 2 days a week.

Immediate openings are available! I find that children do their best when they are allowed to move and play when discussing issues that may bother them. I create an environment where kids feel comfortable talking about their problems through movement. I like to work collaboratively with caregivers to help kids thrive at home and school. Sessions are outdoors to give them the space to move while talking. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help kids work through anxiety, depression, school refusal, and difficulties with transitions.

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.

Book an appointment by clicking "MyWebsite" . When you’ve been managing anxiety, depression, or mood swings, it can feel like life is just happening to you. Managing a health issue, a challenging relationship, or trauma is tough. So are major life changes like marriage, divorce, parenthood, loss, illness, or a career change. Navigating these emotions and experiences is difficult to do alone. And when you’re feeling vulnerable, it’s not easy to ask for help. When you receive support from an experienced professional who is committed to helping you, you can finally stop treading water, begin to heal, and get to shore.

People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons, yet a common thread unites this motivation: the desire to understand one's experience. Sometimes life can be a struggle: identity, relationships, environments and situations can stress our resources and lead us to lean on familiar ways of being, even when those ways do not feel useful or helpful anymore. Therapy presents an opportunity to be curious, to foster new depths of understanding, and to develop a greater sense of meaning. It also provides a space to explore ways of relating to yourself, others in your life, and the world.

I bring warmth and compassion to the counseling relationship with adolescent, young adult, and adult clients. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Restoration Therapy (Hargrave), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are the most prominent influences on my eclectic approach, and because of my experience as a pastor and chaplain, I may be particularly helpful to clients looking to explore the integration of their faith and mental health. I am equally committed to coming alongside clients for whom faith is not a priority or who may come from a different background.
