Feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Struggling with a life change? Counseling can help. For over ten years, I have walked alongside individuals, helping them to discern and realize real change in their lives. If you suffer from anxiety, depression, trauma, an inability to focus, vocational confusion, or just a general dissatisfaction with life, know that these things are not permanent. If you are ready for a change, I would love to help. Along with being a licensed therapist, I am also an ordained pastor; however, I only utilize my theological training when requested. No matter your beliefs, or faith background, I would love to help.

The best therapy arises out of an authentic connection with an experienced, kind, and curious therapist. I'm serious, yet also warm. Though I've been a therapist for 25+ years, I remain humbled by the privilege of getting to deeply know my clients. I believe that being supported in therapy is necessary, but not sufficient. Real growth often requires encountering uncomfortable parts of ourselves. I strive to to deepen awareness and give practical tools for change, while simultaneously promoting self-compassion. My training and life experience with marriage, parenting, career, and personal growth inform my work.

People in helping professions are natural givers, but our empathy and compassion can’t keep us from becoming over-extended, unbalanced, and burned out. I help people dealing with these issues understand their challenges and rediscover fulfillment from their work and joy in their lives. My other passions include working with people to navigate a wide variety of transition and/or identity-related areas of life, including: aging, LGBTQIA+, relationships, career, and parenting.

As a young girl, I've always had the passion to help others. I recall stating in high school that I would be a social worker or psychologist and here I am, Ms. LCSW! I'm a very warm, caring, and nurturing individual who creates a safe, non-judgment space for people to be open and honest with themselves as they continue to grow and thrive in the desired areas of life. Early on I had the opportunity to connect with positive people who influenced healing, growth, inner peace, and many great things in my life so it's a part of my life purpose to do the same for others.

Are you having difficulty with life circumstances, relationships, or your own emotions and reactions? Are some things tough to navigate with familiar ways of coping? Perhaps you're longing for a fresh perspective but needing space to sort out the subtle nuances. I offer a supportive listening environment that promotes safety, freedom of expression, compassion, and new possibilities. Together, we identify ways to recognize repeating patterns and reorient approaches. In this process, I seek to incorporate the mind-body-spirit connection, recognizing that each person is multifaceted, unique, wonderful, and full of potential.
