Therapy provides a safe place where you are free to express the thoughts and feelings you can say nowhere else. A place where you can be heard, accepted and understood; where you can gain the courage and insight to enable you to make choices and changes that lead to improved relationships and lives.

I have worked in the field of addictions for over 15 years. People suffering from addictions and their families may have other underlying mental health issues such as trauma, depression and anxiety. Throughout my career, I have worked tirelessly with adults, adolescents, and as well as their families to address these issues and find a path to healing. My philosophy is simple: to treat the person in the surrounding environment, to see a person in the context of family, school, job, and community (and to evaluate the impact of these relationships), and to focus on the person's strengths as well as embrace their difficulties.

Therapy can be a powerful tool in promoting change and growth. I strive to provide a warm, relaxed atmosphere that fosters meaningful discussion of the issues that keep people stuck and erode well-being and optimism. In such an environment individuals, couples, and families work toward an understanding of the root causes of negativty, depression, anxiety, and conflict. Together we work to eliminate these issues and build the flexibility, resilency, acceptance, and positive communication style vital for healthy relationships and meaningful, well-lived lives..

I am excited to speak with you because my passion is helping others.

Not accepting new patients. I believe in working from your strengths. I want to help you become the best version of yourself, while working from the idea that best becomes fluid through time and we can always adjust our approach. I want you to feel as comfortable as you can with understanding you have a partner to work through all things with and that even though some things might prove difficult to work through and develop I will be along for the journey every step of the way.

I am so glad you are taking the first step to get help. It is a sign of strength not weakness to seek counseling and I commend you for it. I know how difficult it was for me to seek counseling after a car accident. The help I received was so positive, that I decided to switch majors to become a therapist. I wanted to be a part of the healing process for others to have improved coping skills and a better quality of life.

I believe knowledge of our nervous systems with its attachment and stress response functions is important. The relationship we form in therapy can help you to move toward relief, understanding and the change you are hoping for. Knowledge of the nervous system also informs how we will specifically work to heal difficult or even traumatic experiences. We will build awareness, gain skills and ultimately heal mind and body. We will work on past traumas and difficulties, leaning on strengths and natural resilience, creating personalized solutions to develop gifts, find meaning and live according to your values.

I have over 25 years experience working within the field of mental health and developmental disorders. I recognize that by the time someone seeks out a therapist, they are already in the amidst of their struggle. They are looking for the right person to assist them in developing skills and processing their thoughts/behaviors so that they can begin to resume their lives again. I am a Certified Telemental Health provider, a Director within a CMHC and recognize the need to often introduce a vast array of resources to my clients.

From struggling to get out of bed because of depression to the never-ending anxiety from the unknown, let me be in your corner and get through this with you.

Welcome to Kaleidoscope Transformations Wellness Center! I offer several modalities to empower awareness and responsibility in self-creation.

My clients tend to be introspective people who are looking to work through past or ongoing life complexities, such as those related to identity, personality, relationships or life stages and changes. Sessions can be explorative or practical, reflective or pragmatic, more conversational or more structured - all depending on the particular client, their unique circumstances, and their own intentions and motivations in seeking a therapist. Exploring the past or probing painful events is undertaken when it is mutually understood to be desirable, and only to the extent that it is helpful; never for its own sake.

Is your child’s worry causing you to worry? Could your teen's “acting out” or behavioral issues be caused by anxiety, depression, or some underlying issue that you may not be aware of? Many children and teens struggle to manage symptoms on a daily basis. This often results in poor school performance, issues with peer relationships, family discord, and other behavioral concerns. If you’re at a loss or feeling frustrated, therapy can be a helpful way to gain an understanding of why a child may be struggling. You and your child can then learn various ways to cope with stressors. Call me for a free initial phone consultation.
