I understand that coming to therapy for the first time can feel uncomfortable. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to explore difficulties and build resilience. I embrace the experiences and differences that each individual brings and demonstrate compassion and respect for every client.

Wherever you are on your personal journey of healing and self-exploration, I'm excited to meet you where you're at. Taking those first steps toward seeking help and pursuing growth can be intimidating, so I do my best to bring warmth and authenticity to the therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a collaborative, open, and affirming environment in which a strong client-therapist relationship can flourish. I pull from a variety of theories and treatments but try to always remain grounded in an empowering, person-centered, and feminist approach.

The idea of exploring therapy can be difficult, confusing, and uncomfortable. It can also be your first step toward health, balance, and emotional freedom. You can achieve this from the privacy and comfort of your own home via telehealth. I have been helping individuals and couples successfully navigate the counseling process for over 18 years by identifying and changing unconscious beliefs that sabotage personal/relational success and emotional well being. My special interests and certifications are in informed trauma therapy, complex grief and bereavement, anxiety disorders, veterans mental health and telehealth.

I understand how debilitating life can be when you have experienced complex trauma and/or phobias, and I don't want to see you suffer for any longer than you already have. This is why I often utilize Accelerated Resolution Therapy during counseling. ART doesn't require you to share details of your experience, and many concerns can be addressed in 3-5 sessions! Imagine being able to go to the dentist without fear, or perhaps you'd like to just experience life without anxiety constantly getting in the way. If you've been considering counseling and now feel ready to make the leap to improve your life satisfaction, I can help!

My ideal client wants to explore their reactions, life events, and internal states like their thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. They do not need to feel extra motivated or fearless but with curiosity and a willingness to explore and see what comes up. Perhaps you need help focusing or communicating with a partner, friend, family member, or workplace associate. Maybe you are trying to process difficult events. Maybe you would like to maintain mental health and perhaps find a higher level of functioning for yourself through self-development. I am open to working with many different goals and philosophies.

Have you been in therapy before and it wasn't the best fit? Is this your first time searching for a therapist for yourself or for a loved one? Not sure if your stress in life is “enough” to need therapy? Good therapy is built on a relationship of warmth, empathy, and authenticity. Life can be tough and it can be beneficial to have a therapist who really "gets you" by your side to navigate difficult times. Not all therapy sessions must be intense and serious! I can help you embrace the strengths you innately possess to have joy, laughter, and contentment in life.
