“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending” (CS Lewis). Whether we’re working on everyday issues or major challenges, I strive to provide a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space to collaborate with you to reach your goals. No two lives are the same and my approach to therapy is not one size fits all either. I offer practical guidance with empathy, warmth, and sometimes humor. My therapeutic approaches are person-centered and solution-focused and include CBT, REBT, MI, DBT, and ACT.

Have you ever asked yourself, "Is this it? Is this all there is for the rest of my life? What about me? This is not what I thought my life would look like at this point. I want more! But how do I get it? I'm not even sure what 'more' means, but I know something is missing in my life. I just want to feel fulfilled." If you are nodding along with this, you are not alone. Nearly every woman, whether she's 22 or 52, is saying the same thing: "I want more out of my life!"

You are the hero or heroine of your own life’s story, but it doesn’t feel that way right now. Storms of anxiety, shame, depression, guilt, or addiction rage against you. Dragons of grief, trauma, anger, fear, or loneliness seek to pull you down. You fight back, but the struggle leaves you weary. Stuck. Success is difficult, and you are not the positive influence in the world you hoped to be. You recognize patterns leading to the same unwanted results. You’ve done your best to understand, but moving forward seems too difficult. Maybe you begin to doubt who you really are, believing that you are much less than heroic.
