I'm here to offer a safe, comfortable, accepting environment to process your goals, needs, and challenges. I affirm and celebrate everyone's identity and values. Your goals are the ones that matter in therapy. I want you to be comfortable while connecting with someone who authentically cares about you. I believe we are all doing the best we can. Whether age 2, 102, or anywhere in between, I am here to support you. I love working with children, teens, and adults both on and off the autism spectrum. I have also worked as a grief counselor with Hospice, and walked beside many people on their journey of grief.
I offer unconditional positive regard, and strive to make the counseling experience a comfortable one for you. Along with treating individuals of all ages experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, and other challanges, I work with people on the autism spectrum. I am the mom of an adult with autism, and have walked that journey for 20 years.
I can adjust to your communication style. The focus is on your goals and desires. I’m here to support you in a safe environment. I would love to have the honor of providing counseling to you. Please call me for a free, no obligation, 15 min phone or text consultation, and see if I'm a good fit for your needs. No judgement here; I've got your back.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as Dialectical Behavior Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy, and then decide the most comfortable way to help you make progress. We'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. You'll also learn skills to help you move through life more smoothly.
