"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" (Mary Oliver) -- This question lies at the heart of my work, with my goal being to help clients live more authentic and connected lives through self-awareness, resilience and positive change. My approach is flexible, interactive and solution-oriented. I bring a mindful perspective to psychotherapy and tend to see life transitions as opportunities for transformation and growth. My clients have said that my calm demeanor and my careful, empathic listening promote a safe and reflective environment, fostering self-compassion, self-awareness and change.

I have a passion for individuals, couples and families who are experiencing the darkness of grief , the heartache of broken relationships, the discomfort and uncertainty that promotes overwhelming fear and anxiety; the trials of family life and the stress of difficult careers. I integrate my deep faith and trust in God's provision to help guide my work with my clients or for those whom I am supervising. My greatest desire is for you, my client, to know your great value and worth as you grow deeper in the own knowledge and wisdom of your calling and purpose in life.

We know what's not working in life, but what do we do about it? How do we get back in the driver's seat when we feel out of control? Life is hard and transitions are stressful! We feel stuck, overwhelmed, or both. I offer an accepting, empathetic environment, where you can heal, grow, and make sense of your life. I work with people facing the kinds of challenges life throws at us: relationships, career change, aging, grief and loss . Anxiety, depression, family history, and traumatic events can be complicating factors. We will focus on building self-compassion and self-acceptance, and discerning what is and is not within our control.

You’ve made a courageous step in seeking therapy. Therapy can help us heal and grow, through deep listening and presence. Early life shapes how we create our sense of self, learn boundaries, and tend to feelings. We can decide now how we want to show up for ourselves and others, uncovering skills and beliefs that no longer serve us.

Are you finding that you have less patience at work for yourself and others around you? Are you feeling disillusioned and wondering if you are experiencing burnout? What you may be experiencing is “moral injury” rather than “compassion fatigue.” You realize that the reasons you went into your profession are not able to be actualized because of the system your profession exists in. Together, we can find a way through all the chaos, so you can feel and live as the person you know yourself to be.

You are strong. You are capable. You are deserving. As a therapist, I believe everyone deserves to receive the help and services they are entitled to regardless of their history and are capable of putting in the effort needed to create the change they seek. My goal is to affirm and empower my clients throughout their personal journeys. Through a collaborative relationship, I strive to create a positive space for clients to feel encouraged and motivated to continue seeking mental health care.

We provide services that would help empower clients to reach their full potential. We believe that a holistic approach is essential in working through life's challenges and focusing on the whole person. The ideal client understands that there is no secret formula for change, however, with persistence and effort, change is inevitable.

Our journey often includes painful emotional experiences. Are you dealing with the loss of a loved one or dealing with the heart ache associated with the ending of a long-term romantic relationship?

Or, at times, are you constantly bombarded with thoughts that make you feel hopeless? In all sincerity, I am really sorry that you are struggling right now and I would like to help. Your healing journey can start by accepting the free 15 minute consultation.

Do you feel different, disconnected, or damaged? Are you tired of trying to fit into a nice little box or live up to society's expectations of who you're "supposed" to be? Let us help you find your own voice, discover your strengths, accept your true self, and live an authentic life! Through compassionate counseling, we'll help you learn how to express your wants and needs, develop healthy coping skills, practice self-care, improve your relationships, and achieve your goals.
