Let's face it, people typically don't want to seek counseling. By virtue of looking for a therapist, you're acknowledging a difficult issue in your life, one that you haven't been able to conquer on your own. Regardless of what you do for relief, it proves unsuccessful. Counseling can help but can be very difficult. It requires that you face the issues that you don't want to have. The therapist you choose should be someone you believe can guide you on this difficult journey, helping you get to the core issues that are truly impacting your life.

Often the hardest part of solving problems is finding the right person to help you. Since therapy can be an exciting, challenging, and at times a daunting process, it is important to know that you are working with a therapist who is experienced with the issues you are struggling with.

As an experienced clinician, I am comfortable supporting clients with a variety of concerns. Working collaboratively, we will address and explore symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, overuse of alcohol, women's wellness, life transition, interpersonal relationship challenges, and family support needs. I work with adolescents and adults in a supportive environment, using a cognitive behavioral, solution-focused approach. Thank you for the opportunity to support you in creating the change and personal growth that you're seeking. I look forward to working with you.

I am genuine with my clients, and prioritize developing a relationship in which they feel consistently supported and challenged. I have been practicing short and long-term therapy since 2006, and work collaboratively with my clients to guide them to a better understanding of the presenting issue, to highlight their strengths and resources, and to help them to identify other ways of approaching complex problems. Psychotherapy can be the first step towards developing insight into our problems, allowing for symptom relief and for creating more possibilities for meaningful experiences in our lives.

Reaching out for support for you or your loved one takes courage. With one of the hardest steps behind you, I am pleased you have found my private practice. My goal is to engage with clients of all ages in an interactive and collaborative effort to find sustainable change through growth and learning experiences in the context of an encouraging and nonjudgemental environment. My clients are my passion.

Therapy is about change. Your goal might be personal growth, working on a relationship(s) in which you are struggling or to figure out how to manage feelings of depression, anxiety or some other emotionally painful experience. My approach is to help you explore the factors that contribute to what you are experiencing and help you create positive and useful meaning and understanding from the process. I believe that this understanding helps you to be clear about what you want in life and to make choices that help you to feel better, reach your goals and enjoy fulfillment and success.

A happy and secure marriage is wonderful, and can be tough to maintain. Keeping your relationship solid during a really difficult season in life is even harder. So many couples struggle to stay connected when they're going through something difficult: trying to have a baby, adjusting to parenthood, job changes, financial stressors, grief, or health issues. Other couples find themselves simply drifting apart: they're not sure when things changed, but one day they looked up and realized their communication sucks and they barely spend time together. And when this happens, so many couples don't know what to do or how to reconnect.

Offering in person and Telehealth appointments. Are there relationship issues in your life? Perhaps there's problems with your child, spouse, partner, family member or friend. My practice offers individual, family and couple therapy. I tailor treatment to meet the specific needs of each client. I believe in working with clients to establish a treatment focus most important in their lives. I work collaboratively with schools, physicians and other professionals as needed to address different areas of a client's life.

I have been working with individuals, couples, and families for 36 years. Despite all of your efforts to change your life you may still find yourself unhappy, discouraged, or lost. We often develop ways to distance ourselves from our emotional pain. While these strategies can undoubtedly provide temporary relief, they never address the origin of our underlying pain in any profound way. Meaningful change, in my opinion, comes from honestly addressing and healing the core issues of our lives. As we all know, honestly facing ourselves can be very difficult and takes courage and determination. Often this can be difficult to do alone.

You deserve a life that feels good. We know that even good relationships can get stuck in unhealthy patterns. Do you find that when you are trying to connect with your partner you end up in a cycle of communication that's not helpful or productive? Do you retreat and silence it until next time? There is always next time… Maybe this time they will understand…we become louder in hopes they see how hurt we are.The more we aren't seen and heard the more resentful we become. The explosions become more significant and the intimacy ceases, now you are just resentful roommates. It doesn't have to be this way.

I blend my genuine enthusiasm with dedicated training in sexuality and relationship trauma to help clients evolve into their most passionate selves. What truly lights me up is empowering clients to rediscover intimacy, foster emotional connection, and achieve a fulfilling intimate life. I'm here to walk beside you, offering compassionate support and empowering interventions to help you reclaim control and rediscover a sense of fulfillment. I am a board-certified sexologist, certified trauma professional and currently completing certification as an Integrative Sex and Couples Counselor.

Accepting New Clients. Authentic, respectful, accepting: I offer a therapeutic relationship and evidence-based treatment to help you live your best life. I believe that unresolved issues and problems have the power to control the direction of our lives and cause real pain. This pain can take the form of depression, anxiety, trouble regulating emotion, sleep problems and poor self esteem. Problems in relationships as well as coming to terms with loss can often be the hardest ones. Difficulties at work and questioning career choice are other important areas of our life that can be negatively effected.

I am a trauma responsive therapist, whose approach is grounded in the understanding the science of connection and that the brain has the capacity to change and heal. I understand that the process of internalizing someone who is safe, connected, and coregulated, leads to growth in regulation.

The therapeutic relationship offers support to process experiences. Collaboratively, through warmth and directness, we navigate interpersonal and relational issues, creating change that improves well-being.

Embrace the discomfort, for it is a catalyst for growth. Are you feeling trapped between the pain of your past and worries of the futures making it hard to stay focused on the present moment? Do you find your inner dialogue is putting you down more often than building you up? Are you looking to develop healthier boundaries with yourself and those you love? If any of these statement sound like you, I want you to know there is hope.
