Practice IS FULL; Waitlist CLOSED 1/2/2023. Ideal clients would be tweens, teens or young adults. I can work with individuals and families who are seeking counseling support during a major transition in their lives. This could be surrounding grief and loss, divorce , death, chronic illness, mental illness, or other major life challenges. I have worked with pre-teens, adolescents, families who are homeless, individuals with mental illness, individuals who work in the health care setting, as well as those in hospice. Using a holistic strength based approach I aim to provide a healing therapeutic environment.

Do you feel anxious or depressed, and wonder what it would feel like to be at peace with yourself? Do you experience fleeting glimpses of happiness, but wonder what it would be like to experience genuine, ongoing joy? Are you experiencing distress in your relationships and wonder how to approach others with respect and care so you can return to the happiness your relationship once brought you? I work with a variety of people who experience symptoms such as anxiety, depression, relationship distress, symptoms of PTSD, chronic and life threatening illnesses, chronic pain, grief and loss and bereavement.

I am passionate about human beings and an avid advocate for mental health.  I believe each person has a unique and important story that they bring to therapy and I strive to create space for each client to share, connect, and grow. There is great strength and vulnerability in seeking help and I consider it a privilege to assist others in their journey through therapy. When working with clients, I use an eclectic approach in practice in order to best fit the client's needs.  I view counseling as a collaborative effort in helping clients to recognize strengths, identify needs, understand conflicts and discover new options.

*I AM NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating challenges that include anxiety, depression, grief and loss, adolescent-parent relationships, life transitions, financial conflict, and/or coping with the disease of addiction in a significant relationship or family system.

In my work as a therapist I find satisfaction in helping individuals find peace. Our world may have reasons to feel unsettled. However, there are also many reasons for hope. I find it very rewarding to witness family relationship growth, such as when a parent and child connect. My goal is to be a resource for those suffering from life stressors, normalized grief processes, and loss. Therefore I encourage conversations about areas of strength, successes that are often overlooked, and relational healing that can take place. I often incorporate a solution-oriented approach in working with children, teens, parents, and couples.

It is time to reach out for the support you and your loved ones deserve. Common challenges, including stress management, anxiety and worry, depression, grief and loss, intimate partner issues, and parenting struggles are easier to manage with a supportive therapist on your side. Clients benefit from a blend of a warm, caring therapist, as well as therapy techniques that are proven to work. I offer just that, along with over ten years of experience working with children and families, individuals, and groups in many different places, including schools and counseling clinics.

I find it personally rewarding to work with young parents, individual adults, couples and elders as they explore ways to improve their lives and their personal relationships. Within the context of a safe therapeutic relationship we then can collectively explore and resolve barriers to intimacy, conflicts, and historical events that then release you to more fully live your life. Although the therapy process frequently entails deep personal work, whole-hearted laughter and play are an integral part of the journey. Ultimately, therapy is the relationship template from which you then embark on a more fulfilling, meaningful life.

I specialize in working with individuals - especially older individuals - who are in later life transitions. My niche is working with people who have been affected by addictions - their own or other people's. Questions you might be asking yourself: "Do I need to let go of the past or try to understand it better?" "Do I work on better boundaries in relationships or do I need to detach?" There are always understandable reasons for such confusion and I want to help you reach clarity and find solutions. - -Please email me with your question(s), and include your insurance company's name and scheduling needs : )
