I work with both women and children. I know that trying to conceive, pregnancy, and postpartum can all have their unique challenges, and I am passionate about supporting those going through each of these stages. I also am passionate about providing services to children who need additional support due to behavioral issues in the home, school, or community, and I have worked with children ranging from toddlers to teenagers.

Thinking and feeling in ways that allow you to engage your daily life, others, and your personal goals with energy, creativity, and effectiveness is the thrust of my approach and practice. Identifying patterns that restrict cognitive and behavioral functioning, preventing understanding and integration of personal and interpersonal dynamics is a key focus. Increasing self awareness and understanding through enhancing mindfulness, expanding thinking about self and others, and developing behavior patterns that mobilize personal strengths, assets, and motivation is the goal of the work.

Engaging in therapy services and being willing to work through the process is an important aspect of the journey. I enjoy working with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and who have experienced trauma. Their needs include identifying and addressing their triggers, in order to develop the necessary skills to be able to process through their responses to trauma. Their goals include reducing their symptoms and learning how to manage their symptoms more effectively. They learn that each step on the journey builds endurance that increases our strength and resilience so that they build our capacity to persist.

You have taken a brave step! Starting this journey towards prosperity takes courage. If you find yourself navigating emotional wellness, needing understanding, or simply needing a compassionate space to share your thoughts and feelings: Reach out! Whoever you are, however, you are, you will be heard here. I look forward to being a part of your journey.

My passion is providing trauma focused care. I like to focus on the “why” that required therapy in the first place. I have experience working with children and adults, substance use disorder, childhood trauma, and grief/loss.

I’ve often likened “good therapy” to a “good massage”. You enter feeling tense and uncertain with the hope that you'll leave feeling more centered and able to take on what’s next. At times, you may need a gentle and compassionate approach; other times, you may need deeper work to really start the healing process. My primary goal in our work together is to utilize my 21 years of direct clinical experience and 10 years of experience as a clinical supervisor to improve your overall life satisfaction.

Divorce is often a time in life where you feel stuck, overwhelmed, and unable to make decisions. There are times before, during, and after the divorce where you possibly feel powerless and lost. You may feel like there are no good choices and scared of the impact each decision will have for the future. Well, you don’t have to stay in this foggy state of mind and you don’t have to travel on this journey alone.

Are you tired of struggling? Do you need a JUMPSTART TO HEALING (tm)? I am now offering full-day, intensive therapy sessions to help you begin to heal more quickly. Jump Start sessions can really help with unresolved relational pain, anger, anxiety or trauma that is affecting your self esteem, your relationships, and your work. I can work with couples or individuals for an entire day so that you can do about two months worth of therapy sessions in a single day. This is appropriate for couples or individuals and is not a workshop, inpatient therapy, or group therapy.
