I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been working in the mental health field since 2010. I work with individuals of any age, and families, to help them understand more about themselves, each other, and ways they can reach their treatment goals.

Are you looking for a therapy experience that feels...different? You may be noticing patterns in your life—things in your relationships, from your past, or in the way you think or feel that have you feeling stuck. You want to start feeling better day-to-day but you’d also like to get to the deeper roots behind this. You need somewhere that doesn’t feel stuffy, intimidating or overly clinical—a place where you can feel comfortable being honest with someone else and (more importantly) with yourself. Because you know there’s more to life than this cycle you feel caught in and you are ready to discover what that looks like for you.

I am a private therapist with over 35 years of experience in fields of child welfare, clinical supervision, family therapy, school-based crisis services, and private practice. In my current role as a therapist, I work with adult individuals and couples. With my training in family therapy, I view each person as a unique member of a family system that is part of a larger social network

I work collaboratively. Together our first task is to identify clearly what are the problems which bring you to me and to make sure that I understand them correctly. Then we decide on which methods would be best for you. I offer short term cognitive behavioral, EMDR, solution-focused approaches including mindfulness methods. My goal is to help you become your own therapist. I want you to learn to deal with yourself better so you can cope successfully with feelings of anxiety or depression, increase your wellbeing, and, have the life you want.

Living with depression, anxiety, or knowing something isn’t right but not knowing what to call it can be overwhelming and feel defeating. As a therapist and a human being I have seen the immense strength it takes to make the first step to ask for help and support. Your recovery and healing journey begins with you, who you are as a person and your experiences. I believe that you have immeasurable tools and strengths inside waiting to be discovered.

With 40 years of experience, I work with individuals and couples, straight and gay, African Americans, Caucasians and other racial and ethnic groups as well as other therapists helping with their unique life challenges. I also work with those having chronic illness and cancer. Challenge and loss are inevitable-- whether they be associated with love, family, health or trust or over how we hoped our life would turn out. Living well means learning a repertoire to deal with challenges so we don't remain stuck, angry or depressed.

You’re in enough distress that you're looking for a therapist. Maybe you have a history of trauma and/or addiction and it's too much to handle alone. Perhaps there's illness, grief or loss. You need help to learn to deal skillfully with thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, triggers and flashbacks, Shadow material, and self-sabotage. You can live a free, clear life. There is a way to begin dissolving the hold, not just of psychological problems but, to begin to dissolve the ego itself that creates those problems by investigating the nature of Reality. This is deep psychological healing that can lead as far as spiritual awakening.
