Resentment, feeling stuck, restlessness, and anger - these painful emotions are indicators that it's time to make a change. The feelings we want relief from are deeply potent messengers that we are not living in our truth or purpose. You may already be aware of the need for change - feeling devalued in your relationships or in your career, feeling stuck in behaviors like drinking, over-eating, or numbing out with TV or social media - but the path out is unclear. It's possible to experience our emotions, set-backs, and struggles without feeling completely defeated, less-than, or unworthy.

My belief is that every human being is the expert on their own life, but sometimes we all need some help along the way. It is my responsibility as a counselor to walk alongside you and help you on your journey. Through reflection, healing, and self-empowerment, you will find your way back to your most authentic self. I strive to create a therapeutic space that is safe, open, and allows you to be your whole, genuine self without fear of judgment. Together we will create a personalized plan for helping you to find meaning in your life and to meet your goals for emotional and mental wellness.

Time and time again, I have witnessed the transformative power of authentic self-connection. It can lead to relief from anxiety and depression, regaining a sense of self, and more. As an Art Therapist, my wish is to empower you to tap into your creativity and use it as a tool for self-expression and healing while gaining a deeper understanding of yourself. I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change, and my goal is to empower you to tap into your inner resources. My therapeutic approach combines humor, curiosity, and compassion with a healthy dose of "telling it like it is".

I help Ladies connect the link between relationships and life situations to set the tone for their overall well-being. If you are at a point in your life that you feel stuck or disconnected it is time to consider connecting with an unbiased professional for emotional support and guidance. As women, life challenges can cause us to feel vulnerable, empty and overwhelmed. Are your ready to gain a better understanding of who you are and how to take control? We feel a sense of control when we can build and maintain healthy relationships, improve situational stress or conflict, gain a sense of direction and improve mental wellness.

You did it! You clicked the link. Congrats, on taking the first step of your mental health journey. I know it was hard, maybe even scary, but you did it. I am proud of you. With all of my experience, education and credentials, my goal for our session is to know you so that I can help you. Together, we will embark on this journey to help you accomplish the goal you had in mind when you came to therapy. I am not monotone, I can try but that's not me. I am a highly skilled therapist with a heart that is invested in helping people overcome mental health challenges.

Traditional talk therapy has limited benefits. Insight alone is not sufficient to generate change. Lasting change comes from addressing core beliefs which originate in childhood, and lead to habitual (and generally unconscious) ways of perceiving ourselves and the outside world. Thus 'our lives run us' rather than 'we run our lives'. Western culture tends to draw us away from ourselves to the outer world of materialism, competition and achievement. Mindfulness helps us to turn inward, attuning with the body, leading to the discovery of core beliefs that impede our ability to make healthy choices.

Do you want to feel at understood in your relationships, but you struggle with communicating emotions deep down? In your relationship, you want to deeply understand one another, break out of unhelpful patterns, and feel the energy you once had. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. One thing is for sure: you’re ready to feel confident in making changes. You’re ready to enjoy meaningful relationships without feeling the need to over-achieve. You’re ready to take the courageous step towards vulnerability. Most of all, you’re ready to go from complacent to passionate.

I provide guidance for clients with a variety of mental health concerns including anxiety, OCD, depression, traumatic events, challenging childhoods, and feeling overwhelmed, stressed and “not good enough,” but most importantly, I enjoy helping folks navigate the challenges of being human in a world that is constantly telling us how we’re “supposed” to be. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental and down-to-earth environment for clients to begin sharing their life experiences, expanding self-awareness, shifting perspectives, and letting go of unworkable patterns in order to move in a more meaningful and intentional direction.

I often work with patients to examine longstanding difficulties, both with others and within their own selves. Such patterns often leave people feeling misunderstood, empty, lost, unheard, unseen, taken advantage of, stuck, angry, or resentful. Feeling this way can leave you feeling disconnected from and distrusting of others; even those who you love and want to feel close to. Many times, these pieces can be extremely difficult and even can feel impossible to share. And that's okay. We will work together to address what feels important to you and at your pace.

I believe for a person to thrive one MUST first be willing to examine themselves and be courageous enough to take the necessary steps to heal.

Deciding to seek counseling is a courageous step. My aim is to establish a supportive relationship with you where we can work together to promote your wellbeing. We will use action-oriented techniques to practice more intentional, mindful living. I have worked with clients experiencing a range of issues and firmly believe that with self-compassion and dedicated effort we are all capable of charting new territory that is more consistent with our personal values. I strive to serve diverse clients and will work to meet you where you are, adapting counseling to suit your unique worldview and life situation.

Seeking help takes courage. Often, people know something is not working in their lives but aren't sure how to create meaningful change. You are not alone. For over 28 years, I have helped countless individuals and families develop healthy ways to cope with life's challenges through sound clinical assessment, scientifically driven treatment strategies and creative problem solving. Whether you desire ongoing support and treatment for a psychiatric condition or you seek the tools to manage a difficult transition, I have the experience and training to meet you where you are and help you grow in a positive direction.

On a "good day," do you feel exhausted? Perhaps you feel like your past is interfering with your present life. Perhaps you are juggling everything and everyone else while barely making time for yourself. If that's the case, let's see if we can get you out of your funk. Life's difficulties are not always predictable. As your therapist, I will guide you through these difficulties in order to improve your ability to live a happier and more emotionally stable life.

Hello! I am a registered art therapist and licensed clinical mental health counselor with a creative and person-centered approach. You do not have to be an artist to benefit from art therapy. In fact, some of the most profound shifts I have witnessed have occurred with people who do not identify as artistic in any way. You are simply asked to bring a sense of openness and curiosity to our collaboration, where you will be invited to be active in setting the pace and goals of our work together. My philosophy is that art and creativity facilitate insight, growth, and healing.

I’ve been working as a child & family therapist at least 10 years dealing with trauma and addiction. From there I branched out to work with adults. As a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I am passionate about healing and growth. I can work closely with you to provide a safe and confidential space for renewing and rewiring our brain. Are you struggling as a couple? We often overcompensate in our relationships often due to ignoring past hurts and fears, repeating the same patterns without even realizing it because it’s so familiar. And what we resist persists. Let’s work together to peel these layers to the beautiful real you.

In my practice, I don’t just see symptoms; I see individuals grappling with complex emotions and experiences. I understand the weight of your struggles and the impact they have on your daily life. That’s why I take a holistic and systemic approach, acknowledging the intricate connection between your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, all within the context of your unique past and present circumstances.

I specialize in helping adults negotiate turning points and transitions. These turning points are the critical experiences making our lives' narratives uniquely ours. Transitions may come in the form of divorce, grief, job loss, health concerns, or parenting status changes. Alternatively, transitions may be signals it is time for a change. My work focuses on making meaning of these transitions and the stressors that often accompany them. Some of my specific areas of practice include work and career issues, relationship concerns, and stress and stress management.

Openings for in-office & teleheath in March! What do you do? It’s the first thing we ask when we meet someone and a huge part of how we carve out our sense of self. Burnout and dissatisfaction have major impacts on our relationships, mental wellness and physical health. If your work situation is negatively impacting you, or you find yourself wanting more from your life as a whole, counseling is a great way to explore your path.

I am currently accepting new Telehealth clients! - Any number of barriers could impede peak performance. Anxiety, burnout, injury, external pressures, and trauma are but a few of the challenges my clients regularly face. Any one of these factors can lead to feelings of disappointment, dissatisfaction, and/or diminished self-esteem. Sometimes, my clients are unaware of the underlying mechanisms contributing to performance breakdown, distress, or loss of enjoyment in sport/performance or life in general. This can lead to maladaptive behaviors and beliefs that perpetuate a debilitative cycle.
