I offer an integrated model for counseling and wellness including a holistic approach, practical ideas for change, a beautiful setting, and yoga and retreat offerings. Good counseling can create a connection where change, and growth are possible and even likely.

Over my forty-five year career I have worked with many different people of every race, age, and problem type. I listen with a supportive, trained ear, and help my clients find the best coping strategies that will enable them to be happier. Even if only one person is in my office, I see that person as part of their family system, and help them make positive changes that will increase good feelings and reduce conflict. Nearly everyone goes through a rough period in their life when psychotherapy could be helpful for getting back on track.

As women , our lives can get complicated. We get pulled in different directions and finding balance can be hard. I empower women by helping them identify and understand old wounds that keep them stuck and prevent them from moving forward. I help women learn how to experience unconditional love and acceptance towards themselves, how to live their lives authentically with purpose and meaning, and how to reconnect with their hearts and intuition so that there is life balance.

As a therapist who works with young professionals, there is this ongoing theme where the perfectionism, pressure to perform, and people-pleasing that is common in many young women and men is leading to exhaustion, self-sabotage, and burnout.
You are the person who exudes competence, effectiveness and power. Your most likely the individual who is high achiever within your family, community and/or your profession. Secretly though, you feel like your just winging it. Everyone sees Your success… no one sees the Sacrifice that it took to get there. You're a deep thinking POC professional who needs a relationally psychodynamic approach so you can discover a new way to relate to yourself and others. You want to find your footing in life and stop hedging, fumbling and running into a dead-end.

I work with women who despite all outward appearances of success are struggling internally. Some constantly compare other people’s achievements to their own perceived failures. Some struggle to feel confident and capable in the workplace. Some feel disconnected from and misunderstood by their loved ones. Some have a hard time letting go of old patterns that no longer serve them and may, in fact, have adverse impacts. Some find it challenging to love themselves despite their struggles and flaws. Some discover that their normal coping strategies aren’t working anymore and this affects their behavior/ interactions with others.

In addition to my general psychotherapy practice, I have a specialty in helping women and families who are experiencing difficulty during the pregnancy and postpartum period.
I see my work with individuals and couples as collaborative and active. Often people feel stuck in their ways of relating and wonder how to create more satisfying connections with spouses, parents, children, friends, etc. I believe that people are drawn toward health and intuitively know when it is time to make changes in their lives. While it is often feelings of sadness or dissatisfaction that bring people to an initial therapy session, this is the first step toward health and feeling better. True change is possible and the process of therapy can make it happen.

I partner with women who are ready to love, live, and create from the truest version of themselves.
Is the life you're living not the life you imagined? Do you feel like you have given the best of yourself to others and wonder what's left for you? Does it feel like you are running out of time and you have yet to discover your purpose? Have you mastered the art of looking "all together" but inwardly it's taking everything you have to keep yourself together? Do you become angry, frustrated, sad, irritated when you think about your future? Are you feeling life has left you without options forcing you to settle for whatever comes your way? Have you stopped dreaming, imagining, and pursuing the once fiery passions of your heart?

As a Certified Life Coach I teach women and teenage girls how to identify and reframe negative self-talk; set and achieve goals and address patterns that inhibit personal, professional and/or academic growth.
Have you ever felt disconnected…from yourself? If the answer is "Yes", you are in the right place! No matter your age or where you are in life, experiencing feelings of frustration, overwhelm, fear, etc. can come up and take residence, leaving us feeling disconnected from the best of who we are. When this happens, it can feel impossible to find a sense of peace, trust yourself or even communicate with ease. But there IS hope! Are you ready to create a connection to self that is both purpose-driven and sustainable? Let’s talk about it!

How can I find a therapist in Columbia?

Search for nearby therapists or counselors by inputting your city, town, or suburb; or zip code; or a provider’s name into the search bar. From there, you can filter providers by the issues they treat, cost, insurance, gender, and other factors to find providers who are well-suited to your needs. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
