My specialty is in teaching healthy communication skills to couples, and to help anyone to communicate more effectively. This comes from educating clients about how their past programming and particularly family systems affects them and can create defenses that cause obstacles in their lives. Through understanding one learns to accept all parts of themselves and set themselves free from unwanted emotions and behaviors. Communication improves and personal growth (higher emotional EQ) develops.

Know thyself, wrote the Greek scholar. My aim is to assist you toward effective and functional self-understanding so that you might pursue and achieve the life goals of which you, as a unique person, are most worthy. Harry Truman had on his desk, whatever job he held, these 10 words: "Know right from wrong. Do right. Do your best." I shall always use these words in your service.

Hello! I have a variety of experience treating adolescents and adults with anxiety, depression, PTSD, phobias, panic and other mood disorders using a solution-focused, goal-oriented approach. I believe in treating people as people, and every individual brings a unique skill-set to the table that we can tap into in order to make progress and achieve set goals. I make sure that every client has access to non-judgmental space to explore underlying issues as well as tackle every day concerns and set weekly-goals. No concern is too small and no issue is beyond treatment.

You might be looking for someone to talk to, wondering where to begin for the first time, or looking to start a new chapter with counseling. No matter where your starting point is, you are probably looking for someone to listen first, hear and understand without judgement, and have a desire to see you succeed. You might believe that it is important to find someone that you can connect with, work with collaboratively, someone you can share your strengths with, and trust with your experiences. You are in the right place.

Hello! I’m glad you have landed here. Whether you’ve been struggling for a short time or what has felt like a long time, I’ve had experience helping people through various mental health difficulties- whether it be depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, relationship issues/break-ups, identity conflicts, or just general life confusion (which is all natural). One of my goals is to provide guidance and support to achieve decreased negative emotions/feelings and gain relief.

I work with children, adolescents, young adults, families, and parents. My focus when working with clients is to help them through life transitions with a person-centered and empathic approach, utilizing your strengths. We will explore strategies and skills that you can take with you beyond our time together. Those that benefit from a stength-based, skills building approach may identify as having anxiety, depression, self-esteem worries, or trauma.

We can all become stuck, overwhelmed, hopeless, or just feel we’re not living our best lives for many different reasons. Additionally, the current unrest in society around us can shake a sense of security or predictability we may have held about what our futures hold. These may cause disruptions in sleep and appetite and encourage negative thoughts and moods to grow and persist. Whatever your struggles, I ensure professional care that is collaborative, respectful, and that has your best interests at heart.

A guiding principle in my work is the belief that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance. Neuroscientific literature supports the curative powers of deep empathic attunement (limbic resonance) and the brain/body's ability to heal. As such, in addition to attending to you with the same level of respectful presence that I would expect in a therapist, I use both cognitive/emotional and body/mind tools to assist you in your healing. I am certified in both Safe and Sound Protocol ( SSP) as well as a certified +Heart Math provider. I think you will find me warm, genuine, empathic, and knowledgeable.

Do you regularly feel as if you are not enough? Do you have difficulty saying no or asking for help? Are you struggling to communicate your needs within your relationships? Are you experiencing feelings of anxiety and depression, stress, low self-esteem, or struggling with substance use? If you are seeking a safe and nonjudgmental space to work through some of life’s challenges, now is the time to begin your journey of self-understanding, healing, and growth. I operate from an intersectional feminist lens and respect the unique influences of cultural and sociopolitical determinants of health.
