My practice over the past 25 years as an LCMHC has allowed me to help people of diverse backgrounds overcome a variety of life's challenges. I help people by meeting with them, learning about their problems and discovering ways for them to feel more at ease. The most common issues that I help people with involve their moods (for example sadness, worrying, anger or stress) and with their relationships. The type of psychotherapy I do is very intense and short term compared to other types of counseling. It’s called Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. It means that we explore the ways your thoughts, beliefs and feelings affect each other.

Grief and loss are naturally occurring themes throughout our lives. If we live and love, we will lose and grieve. Grief happens not only when experiencing the death of a loved-one but also when passing through other life stages like break-ups and divorces, school or job changes, retirements, empty nesting, life-changing illnesses, and preparing for our own deaths. Ignored grief can look like depression, anxiety, anger, guilt, and interpersonal difficulties. I am interested in assisting people through these times and I enjoy working with individual adults of all ages, at all stages.

I enjoy working with clients who seek to grow emotionally, relationally and spiritually. I believe therapy is an opportunity to come alongside others to help them heal and grow. I am relational in my approach. I believe that people have been broken in relationships and that we are healed in the context of relationships. Over the past 19 years I have had many clients reach their goals and experienced transformation through the counseling process. There is no greater privilege than being able to walk beside people in their healing journey. Evening and weekday appointments available. Contact me via phone, text or email.

Life can feel overwhelming at times! It comes hard, quick, unsolicited, and is indiscriminate. Am I doing enough? Am I good enough? What’s next? You may feel as though you want to seek refuge by hiding in your office away from others or perhaps in the bathroom away from family. Your plate is overflowing and trying to balance it all can be a challenge. You are barely getting by, haunted by mistakes and events of the past. Your relationships are suffering, and your concept of self is dwindling. You wish you could find balance and take care of self, all while being an amazing parent, child, spouse, or coworker, etc.

Here is your sign. It's time to deal with your trauma. It's been bugging you. Triggers happened and you're still recovering. Life feels hectic. You've been meaning to take time to care for yourself, but it just hasn't happened yet. You're determined now; you've made the decision to take care of yourself...AND you know you want some help doing it. What if you could connect to someone who could truly see how you're doing and not pass judgment? And what if having someone wisely walk with you will help your life improve?

Best way to contact me is through email. Some things in life can feel really big and overwhelming. Working with a therapist can help you develop skills to make those 'big' things feel much less daunting. Taking a person-centered, humanistic approach to therapy is important because everybody has a unique story, identity, culture, and goal. As your therapist, my role is to help you discover what works for YOU, in the context of your own life. I am here to help you unpack, understand, heal, grow, and ultimately build your own 'life toolbox' to use when things feel really big again.

I understand what it is like to feel as though your thoughts and behaviors are being solely ruled by your emotions. This is exhausting to live day after day. This way of living leads to being overwhelmed, dissatisfied, unhappy, stuck, or anxious. You want to gain more happiness and satisfaction within your life, but it feels daunting, you don't know where to begin or perhaps you feel resistance within yourself to even start. You need someone to listen and challenge you with more effective ways of utilizing your whole mind, body, and spirit.
