Symptoms of depression, anxiety or trauma can feel like they define you. Maybe you've tried therapy in the past without making much progress. Or maybe you are a new mom who feels like you are "going crazy" and are worried you will never feel like yourself again. I specialize in supporting pregnant and postpartum women along their unique journey. I know what it's like to feel stuck and unsure that you can get better. Whatever has brought you here, know that you will be welcomed and seen for who you are. And...that you hold within the power of choice to try something different- to move out of what is no longer serving you.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious? Do you need better tools for communicating and connecting to people you love? Do you need support, education, or hope in creating sexual wholeness? I can teach you tools to feel good about who you are, feel comfortable in your body, live your desired sexual story, and connect to your authentic spirituality. I also work with couples to nurture good communication and emotional connection.

Currently have daytime 9am-3pm openings. Life is full of expected and unexpected challenges that present a roller coaster of emotions. On the one hand there is a desire to openly share all of these thoughts and emotions connected to life's challenges and on the other hand a desire for privacy. Emotions can boil under the surface or they can be obvious at the top; and, we owe it to ourselves to set aside time to share and talk about these emotions to decrease the amount of energy they consume. Life is a treasure and with support, encouragement, empathy and compassion you can have the power to feel this sentiment every day!

Navigating this thing called life is not easy. We all go through struggles and need a listening ear, reassurance, and help sometimes. It takes courage to take those first steps toward change as we seek to find a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I provide a safe space for my clients to share their stories, reflect on life experiences, and increase their confidence. Through collaboration, I will assist you in identifying your stressors and coping strengths, as you build new skills and move toward healing and gaining a more balanced life.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages, genders, orientations, and backgrounds as they navigate through the challenges of life. I believe that everyone's story is unique and that it needs to be told in a comfortable and safe place, free of judgement. Many of the clients I work with come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, vulnerable, afraid of making changes, and/or wondering how they will make it through the unexpected changes they are faced with. Some have experienced trauma. I help clients understand why they are suffering from certain symptoms as well as help them identify maladaptive thinking and coping skills.

I enjoy working with pre-teens, teens and adults doing both individual and couples counseling. New clients can visit my website to view my availability and fill out a form requesting services.

I serve individuals, couples and families with much expertise and experience with various issues and mental health disorders.It is an honor to accompany client's on their personal journey to developing a deeper understanding of their personal challenges, strengths and inner wisdom as well as their personal story. I place an emphasis on developing insight, mindfulness, and empathy and acceptance for self and others. I value the opportunity to assist others in reaching their goals and creating the life they have envisioned while helping to connect individuals with their authentic and true selves.

I believe that everything we do in life comes from experiences that’ve shaped us.Depending on the intensity of the event & how our body perceives it, it’ll be logged into our nervous system as a safe or an unsafe experience.Our bodies at the basic level want to feel safe and will create behaviors (healthy/unhealthy) to protect us.For most, when we feel bad later about our behaviors, this means our body perceived the event as a threat.We’ll explore with a curious mindset why this is happening and boundaries that can be put in place.We will evaluate /decipher what coping skills/behaviors are harmful and re-program them in your body.

I love the counseling that I do. For the last fifteen years I have been a witness to the courage, tenacity, and resiliency of my clients as they strive to improve their personal lives and relationships in their families. I am convinced that much of our life is determined by the lens that we choose to look through. I also believe counselors are most successful when they also have a healthy lifestyle and live the principles that they teach to their clients. I believe that when you meet me that you will find me to be grounded, healthy, and authentic.
