I work with both individuals and couples who want healthier, more satisfying relationships. Many come to therapy feeling stuck in conflict, disconnection, poor communication, or recurring relationship patterns.
During my 31 years of practice, clients have told me they value my frank, warm, humorous, and approachable style. Good therapy is more than talking—it’s about learning practical skills that create meaningful change. Working with me is like taking a class in YOU.

Therapy is an experience of collaboration and trust. I tailor my approach to each individual’s needs and preferences. I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment and work from a strength-based perspective. I am interactive, not shying away from giving feedback, but fundamentally believe each individual has the capacity to set their own goals and measure their own success. I have extensive experience treating adults with a variety of disorders such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and with those suffering from maladaptive coping strategies.

Your body feels what your mind thinks. Everything is connected. Our thoughts can help to make us well or conversely our thoughts can help make us sick. Somatic Experiencing is a very respectful way to seek to balance the body and the mind. A healthy state of wellness is a balanced state of being. I work with ages 18 and up utilizing a somatic approach. I work with clients having trauma, anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, grief and loss, and aging.

Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're repeating the same patterns despite your best efforts? Perhaps anxiety has become your constant companion, past experiences continue to shape your present, or you know there's more to life than simply getting through each day. Insight alone isn't enough for lasting change. That's why I integrate approaches that go beyond traditional talk therapy. I help clients explore not only the "why" behind their struggles but also help to create new patterns in the brain and nervous system that support healing, resilience, and the freedom to move beyond surviving and toward a life of greater joy.

Whole-person wellness is at the core of my clinical practice. I believe that mental health is most effectively treated in conjunction with physical, nutritional, and interpersonal health. My clients can expect a thorough assessment of overall well-being and a treatment plan that delivers noticeable results. I recognize the enormous financial constraints of todays workforce and the need to quickly and efficiently solve problems. That is why my therapeutic approach looks at client strengths and resources. I meet you where you are at and help you get to where you want to be!

Focused on healing through trauma-informed, body-based care and grounded in family systems theory, I draw on a range of counseling approaches including; psychodynamic, transpersonal, existential, expressive, mindfulness, mind-body, behavioral (DBT and CBT). Together we sojourn toward self-awareness and compassion for self. Emblematic moments from the past may have become conditioned responses to the present. We focus both on here and now and historical events. TAT (Tapas Acupressure Technique), mindfulness, sensorimotor psychotherapy and EMDR-Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing help re-program stored arousal in the body.

I enjoy working with people who have struggled for a long time with difficulties managing painful emotions, out-of-control behaviors, dissatisfying relationship patterns, uncertainty about identity and personal goals, and hopelessness. I specialize in working with clients who are seeking therapy for emotion- and relationship-based problems, including depression, suicidal ideation and self-harm, trauma, impulsivity, and anger issues.

I work predominantly with teens, young adults, and adults. My strengths lie in helping my clients recognize their own strengths, helping them feel seen and heard, and making new meaning out of difficult situations.

I have always had a passion for helping others, and know from experience what a difference it makes finding the right counselor. Through my career I have worked with a diverse group of adults and adolescents across the US. I bring 8 years of knowledge, compassion, and experience to our sessions.

I use an informal, down-to-earth approach so clients can feel comfortable working collaboratively to "name the elephant" in their life, drill down to the core of issues and discover how patterns from the past repeat in the present. I am passionate about challenging stuck points, old habits and outdated beliefs with care, compassion and respect. I am never afraid to bring humor into a session when appropriate as I value the healing properties of laughter.

I work with individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds and varying needs. Often, I support people to manage stress, sadness, and frustrations during life transitions. This may include assistance navigating stressors in relationships, within the family, at work, and at school. I enjoy helping families, and working with women who are pregnant or post partum. I help people to sort through their feelings, identify their goals, and develop a plan to move forward.

I offer individual counseling to adults and adolescents ages 16 and over. My approach is a combination of cognitive-behavioral (actively working on changing ones thoughts and behaviors) and therapeutic mindfulness (learning to experience difficulties with awareness and self-compassion rather than judgment and avoidance). I place a strong emphasis on building communication and coping skills that can be used again and again in challenging situations. I have experience treating anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, self-harming behaviors, and counseling around life transitions and family concerns.

Would you like to feel more calm, confident, hopeful, and energetic? Are you facing roadblocks or transitions in your relationships or family life? Would you like to become more effective at getting your needs met through self-compassion rather than self-criticism?

**I AM NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** I provide a client-centered, strengths-based approach to meet the unique needs of each individual within the safe and accepting space of the therapeutic relationship. Whether you are experiencing depression, ongoing anxiety and "dis-ease," a crisis due to a loss or life transition, family or relationship conflict, a sense of meaninglessness and lack of purpose in your life, a realization that perhaps you are relying on substances to cope, a yearning to be more at peace with yourself and the world, or a desire to be better able to manage the stress of everyday living, I can help.

Being a child, teen or young adult can be overwhelming. For parents too! There are social needs, academic demands, and family relationships to better understand and manage. It's a time of discovering who you are, who you want to be, and how to get there. That’s a lot! Whatever your individual challenges or goals may be, we can uncover the tools and strategies that work best for you. You need someone who will listen, understand your perspective, and help you feel better. I'd love to help. School-related problems, emotional regulation, and adoption are areas of specialty.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
