Do you feel depressed, overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of which direction to take your relationships, your job, or your life? Are these feelings holding you back from living the life you truly want? I love joining with my clients to explore these barriers and working to overcome them to create peace, health and happiness. Through skill building and meaningful conversation, you can move forward. In my practice, counseling can include humor; both laughter and tears are important parts of healing and growing. While I certainly respect that serious matters are discussed in therapy, we can usually find ways to enjoy our progress.

We all have a human desire to feel heard, understood and supported, even more so when life gets hard. But making the decision to start therapy can be challenging, so I am happy you are here. Whether you are seeking therapy due to a new diagnosis, an unexpected illness or a divorce, grief, loss of a job or experiencing burnout from work or parenting, I am here to help. Therapy is a safe place to share your story and process what it is that is having an impact on you, as well as develop skills and strategies so that you can work to achieve symptom relief.

Psychotherapy is an opportunity for growth within a safe space of non-judgment and clinical expertise. As my client, I invite you to show up ready to get curious like a detective.

Treatment is a fluid process that will respectfully move at each individual pace.

Feelings can be hard to sort through on your own and also confusing.

Have you ever just wanted to stop? Have you ever wanted to stop managing other peoples problems for them? Have you ever wanted to stop accepting a sub-par standard for the way that you live your life? I have spent my entire career helping those that are brave enough to have the courage to stand in their truth. I have spent countless hours helping people like you, DO IT YOUR WAY -with no apologies. Your mind is your temple and you decide who worships there by recognizing the entities that are undeserving of your energy. The hardest part is over because your transformation begins now!

After you take your first step to begin therapy, I will meet you where you are at this point in your journey. Whether you need a soft, non-judgmental space to find your footing or to gently and compassionately be held accountable for your behavior modification, I am here to help you along your journey. Together, through collaboration, we will develop a tailored, individual therapeutic plan to reach your goals.

For over 35 years,I have been helping adolescents ,adults and families. I realize that knowing you need help is not the same as knowing what kind of help you need.My role is to facilitate that process with you; to provide the guidance, support and collaboration that will help us to identify how you can most effectively reach your personal goals and improve your quality of life.As we move through that process, you can rely on me to be honest, forthright and compassionate; to work with you, side by side, as you face the challenges ahead.

My experience working in the mental health system for over 10 years has shown me the impact of oppressive systems on the well-being of individuals. This is why I believe as a therapist it is my duty to view all client struggles through systems theory (the impact of external systems on an individual versus the independent “deficiencies” of one person). Your struggle may be tied to race, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity, neurodivergence, etc. Maybe you’re having a hard time setting boundaries, focusing on your own needs, forming healthy relationships, breaking intergenerational patterns, or not reaching your goals.

The decision to begin therapy can be challenging and can follow attempts to manage difficult life circumstances independently. I believe that healing begins when there is a safe, non judgmental space to grow a therapeutic relationship. I spent the early part of my career working extensively with adolescents and families which allowed me the opportunity to help them work through their trauma as they struggled with grief and loss, anxiety, self-injury, depression and PTSD. Additionally, I spent almost 7 years in an outpatient clinic as an Administrator, also providing clinical counseling to children, adults and families.

I have 15 years of expertise working with adults to address depression, anxiety, relational issues, trauma, healing from abuse, perfectionist/people pleasing, grief, body image, and disordered eating. Additionally, I specialize in supporting individuals through the perinatal stage of life, addressing mental health related to infertility, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, and pregnancy/postpartum life adjustments. As a certified and licensed perinatal mental health therapist, I hope to hold space for your experience and support your healing.
