Confidentiality, compassion, creativity and expertise are elements I bring to every client session. Understanding that each person is unique, my 20+ years of experience and broad range of training in mental and emotional healthcare give me both versatility and adaptability; allowing me to meet you where you are in your life today. Through the building of a mutual trust, we'll explore the nature of the challenges you may be facing. We'll identify your strengths and your sensitivities, as well as the inner and outer resources you may not yet know how to access.

NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME. When going through struggles in life, you do not have to suffer in silence nor do you have to endure the journey alone. I will actively pursue the fulfillment of your therapeutic goals by listening, collaborating with you, and offering suggestions to illicit positive change. Each session is conducted with an impartial approach which ensures that everyone in the session feels heard and understood. My clinical areas of focus include, but are not limited to stress, anxiety, depression, grief & loss, infidelity, infertility, and understanding the highly sensitive person (HSP).

If you are facing problems in life that are making you feel overwhelmed, know that you can get help to create positive changes that will bring peace and hope. Counseling can help you navigate through the obstacles that are holding you back from realizing the change that can bring happiness and contentment in life. If you are looking for someone who listens and provides feedback, allowing you to express concerns in a safe and non-judgmental setting, I would be happy to help guide you down this journey to help you create change allowing you to realize your potential.

Sometimes therapy is needed during a crisis when hope seems impossible. Other times, therapy is a way to reboot and move forward. Have you been plagued by shame, guilt, fear, doubt, despair, grief, abandonment, disappointment, hurt, rejection or any other negative emotion? Are you paralyzed by past experiences or decisions? Are you ready to move beyond the notion that you can't move forward? Choosing healing is a powerful choice. Allowing previous pain to prevent you from your promised purpose should NEVER be an option. In the therapeutic environment, I join you, in your journey toward healing and becoming whole.

Working with complex couples, those dealing with major relationship issues like infidelity, infertility, illness, grief, family conflict, parenting issues, or contemplating divorce, are my passion. I take a non-judgmental stance that allows me to focus on the relationship as my client, while not taking sides. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, trauma, or other mental health conditions, I can help support you, while teaching coping mechanisms to create a healthy balance in your life. I apply a systemic approach when working with couples, families and individuals from childhood, adolescence, and adults.

I like the quote, "Life is not a dress rehearsal". That being said, my perspective is that by prioritizing relational, emotional and spiritual wellness, the opportunity to live your best life is within your grasp. Life's challenges can feel overwhelming sometimes. I provide an atmosphere of compassionate listening, valuable feedback and emotional support in a judgement-free zone. As you learn to harness your strengths and apply the skills that you develop through therapy, you will quickly begin to find the faith in yourself necessary to navigate life with purpose and meaning.

Life is full of transitions and changes; some are welcome, and some are life shattering. What do you do when the aftermath of these changes is too much to manage? While it is common to feel anxious, overwhelmed, defeated, confused, and uncertain; you don’t have to stay in that place. Defining your new normal after these moments can require support and guidance.

Many challenges may arise in life. It can be made easier if you have a comfortable atmosphere to share & express yourself. You come to therapy to face hard truths & learn better ways to handle them. Maybe you find yourself repeating the same patterns, having the same interactions, or feeling a certain way about yourself. I balance truth & tact, giving genuine feedback. I listen & support without judgment. I have a passion for helping individuals & families cope with difficulties in their lives. My desire is to help clients experience healing & life change.
