I sincerely enjoy working with people and have experience with all diagnoses. I have had trainings in anxiety, depression and bipolar issues. I am watchful of breathing habits and body language during sessions so am able to coach clients on their own patterns. I have been doing this for many years and feel like I have learned so much. I believe there is a definite connection between our thoughts and our emotions so will often ask if that person is aware of their body responses and sensations to their thoughts. I have been trained in EMDR and done many grief trainings.

I have worked with high risk adolescents for the past 22 years. I have experience with family work, long term trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and attachment. I believe in the power of relationship to change people, and to help people understand their trauma to help them live fuller lives and understand family and individual patterns. I have a deep understanding of long term abuse and childhood trauma , as well as domestic violence, and it's affect on relationships and lifelong satisfaction. I am looking for clients who are interested in looking at their own trauma and attachment and how this is connected to current life issues, or current road blocks people are facing.

As a therapist, I believe that therapy can be an extremely useful vehicle of change. Change can be obtained in a variety of ways depending on the needs & personality of each client.

My goal is to guide each client toward positive personal growth by providing him/her with support through therapy, coaching, education & resource sharing.

I enjoy working with individuals who are on the verge of major life transitions, and supporting them as they find, develop, and come to celebrate their strengths and individual differences. Those transitions can be from adolescent dependence on their parents to young adulthood; the discovery and acceptance of gender and sexual identity; developing coping skills to manage chronic illnesses; and increasing independence and strengths after changes in relationships.

At the heart of my work is a belief in affirmation and empowerment. I strive to validate your feelings while also offering gentle challenges when it can help you grow. Therapy with me isn’t about passively listening—it’s about creating a dynamic, supportive relationship where we can explore, question, and discover together.
I also believe that healing doesn’t have to be heavy all the time. A little humor can go a long way, and I’m not afraid to bring lightness into the room when it helps balance the process.

My ideal clients are teens, young adults, and adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their direction. Many are navigating anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, identity concerns, or major life transitions and feel disconnected from themselves. Clients often seek support when coping strategies are no longer working and stress, grief, or relationship challenges feel unmanageable. I offer a grounded, relational, trauma-informed space that balances insight with action.

People heal in relationship — with themselves, with others, and within the quiet, trusted space of good counseling. As a counselor, researcher, and author of a textbook on relationship factors in counseling, I have seen that people come to know themselves most fully within encouraging, trusted connection. The work is yours — your healing, your growth, your clearer sense of who you are. My role is to offer a relationship steady and skilled enough to make that work possible. As Viktor Frankl wrote, "An abnormal reaction to an abnormal situation is normal behavior." How you have responded is your "normal," and that's OK.

Trying to navigate life today is challenging. Having someone to talk to may be the first step. Thank you for taking time to read this.

Bad things happen to everyone, right? There's no point in dwelling on the past. It wasn't actually that bad... Maybe you've tried telling yourself these things. And maybe they even worked, until now. Perhaps work or relationships are feeling harder, and a part of you knows you’re ready for change —for more steadiness, clarity, compassion, and ease in how you respond to yourself and others. I help individuals and couples slow things down, understand what drives these patterns, and build the capacity to respond with more choice and care. We will work as a team to help you connect with the life you want.
