When you first started dating, it was all laughs, flowers, and romantic nights out together. Now your Saturday nights revolve around watching TV while you each scroll through your cell phones. You haven’t exchanged more than a few glances and the only discussion today revolved around carpool schedules and reminders to buy more milk tomorrow. You didn’t know it was possible to feel lonely while not technically being alone. You try to practice gratitude and remind yourself that things are ok, but deep down you know that your relationship could be so much more. You want to feel appreciated, connected, and lit up again.

No New Clients Accepted. No Telehealth. Perhaps you have thought about counseling, but you aren't sure how to begin. I believe that nothing is more important than creating a safe, trusting, therapeutic relationship with you - a relationship in which you move at your own pace to explore your own concerns, hopes, and dreams. I want you to experience the difference that a caring counselor can make in your life!

Experienced licensed therapist. Individual, couples and pre-martial counseling. Why can life be so darn difficult? Do you need someone to help unravel this question? Are you in a difficult relationship, with yourself or someone else? Is anxiety, depression, trauma, or loss taking away your chance at living a full authentic life? Family and friends can offer support but may give unhelpful advice, especially if you are dealing with relationship betrayal. A counselor can provide a confidential and nonjudgmental place where you can figure out what's keeping you awake at night. A place to help you heal and strengthen your mental health.

I have counseled children, adults, and couples with over 15 years experience.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS I work with adolescents and adults on a variety of issues. In addition to counseling experience, I have several years of experience teaching middle and high school. I use a client-centered approach drawing from different theoretical orientations in order to create a unique plan for each client. My goal is to help clients realize their potential, manage stress and difficult emotions, and interact effectively with others.

Successful therapy thrives on trust. I offer an empathic space where clients can genuinely explore feelings and experiences. Initiating this journey might be daunting, but with mutual openness, a dash of humor, and commitment, my clients and I often forge a meaningful connection quickly.

The primary focus in my therapy practice is helping others who may be struggling with stress or anxiety, including a wide range of anxiety based diagnoses such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Social Phobias or general phase of life stressors. Our world can be very stressful at times and I find my clients are often high functioning but often neglect themselves. Making that first call is a big step, and taking care of your mental health is so important. Anxiety can be extremely overwhelming and debilitating but relief is possible.

With over 17 years of experience treating individuals and couples, I offer treatment that focuses on building empathy, understanding, and acceptance, whether towards yourself, your children, or your partner. I am trained to work across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, and adults (from young to older), using evidence based therapeutic practices.

It's difficult making the decision to seek help! When a client finally makes the step to enter counseling, they just hope to find a therapist that is compassionate, non-judgmental, nurturing and able to help them reach their full potential. Throughout my career in working with clients, I've heard many say they wished they entered therapy sooner. Don't hesitate to reach out for support and focus on your self-care and quality of life.
