I work with
adults
and young
adults
experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, developmental trauma, PTSD, C-PTSD, and addiction recovery.
I have provided psychotherapy and counseling services for over 25 years. By employing a wide variety of techniques and approaches, I have come to realize that the body is a vital and intricate partner in therapy. Somatic Experiencing is a body based approach to healing and the cornerstone of all my sessions, assisting you in soothing, settling, quieting, and balancing your nervous system. This approach reconnects to your inner wisdom and utilizes the body’s innate capacity to heal to help you live more fully and harmoniously.

With
adults
, I primarily use ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to help clients realize their passions and find emotional freedom.
Life is complicated. Often the difficulties and stress we face create conflict and struggles that need to be shared with others. Through counseling, I believe that clients can find relief from the stress and pain of broken relationships, addiction, past traumas and unidentified emotional and spiritual wounds. I enjoy working with adoptees, adoptive parents, adolescents, and young
adults
and people in transition. I work collaboratively with clients to help them find peace and rest in the midst of daily life.

adults
, couples & families struggling w/ various emotional & relational disturbances.
"...healing means, first of all, the creation of an empty but friendly space where those who suffer can tell their story to someone who can listen with real attention..." (Henri Nouwen). My desire in counseling is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for one to tell their story, to go deeper and discover the their own personal way of being human and the way they want to go. As Henri Nouwen says, "Quite often it is our fear for the hidden moments in our own history that keeps us paralyzed."

I work with
adults
and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and challenges while in a life transition.
It’s never easy to seek help for your mental health needs. I’m here to guide you through this process and provide support through your pain, recovery, transition, and path to improvement. Life can be hard at times; you can feel lost and vulnerable. You may want to give up or feel just burnt out. Whether you change jobs, leave a difficult relationship, lose a special person in your life, experience grief, move away, or are adjusting to a new way of life, it can be tough to get through. We want to find our true authentic selves and feel good instead of feeling the weight of the world on our shoulders.

I enjoy working with adolescents and
adults
from all walks of life.
Counseling should be a safe and judgment-free place for individuals to voice their concerns. In a world where we are constantly judged, I feel that counseling provides a unique place to allow for personal understanding and growth while reflecting on what drives our concerns, emotions, and behaviors. The counseling journey should be a joint partnership to help the client realize their own potential for growth. I use a variety of therapeutic interventions that are centered around each individual.

I have experience working with people who have been victims of abuse/neglect, parents who are striving to cope with their children's disclosed abuse,
adults
who desire to address their childhood trauma, survivors of trauma, and/or anyone who is ready to prioritize their mental health.
It's okay not to be okay! Are you not feeling like yourself? Not sleeping? Overrating? Find it difficult to focus or get out of bed? Constantly worrying? Are those past traumas continuing to impact your daily life? Want to break generational curses? Not sure what to do next? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then I am glad you are here, and we can help. You are not defined by your childhood trauma, witnessed/experienced violence and trauma, or any of the above mentioned challenges. You can't pour from an empty cup! It's time to prioritize yourself!

Is online therapy a good option?

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
