People decide to enter counseling for a variety of different reasons- depressed mood or anxiety, family conflict, grief, trauma, behavioral difficulties, self-defeating behaviors, just to name a few. The positive thing is that if you are reading this, you have already taken the first step in getting help for yourself and/or your family. I have been licensed as a mental health counselor for the past 15 years, specializing in child, adolescent, and family therapy. I am also trained in EMDR Therapy, which can be especially effective in treating trauma or PTSD symptoms.

You have a captivating story. It's true! One of the biggest influences on our life stories is our relationships. A leading therapist states, “The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives.” Sometimes it becomes difficult to enjoy our relationships or the fullness of our lives. Maybe the people and places that are supposed to be the safest (family, home, school, church) have brought stress or frustration. It is helpful to understand the impact of our past experiences. I would love to learn about your story, past and present, to hear your dreams for your future, and to offer you a safe space to talk about life.

Only daytime hours available. Starting therapy can be a little scary. I am aware of the anxiety someone feels making that first phone call or walking into the office. My goal is to set you at ease, make you comfortable, and with time build a trusting relationship.

I truly enjoy facilitating meaningful change. I am not interested in helping your cope. I am interested in helping you heal the root of what you have been living with for too long. Couple and family therapy clients learn to deepen and strengthen their connection so that they are better able to manage the challenges of life. Clients participating in trauma therapy have the opportunity to explore their experience in a safe and healing environment. Individuals may work towards client-identified treatment goals while developing a rewarding and secure connection with themselves.

I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to help them find greater fulfillment within the various aspects of their lives, whether it's their sense of self, interpersonal relationships, or professional life. A strong therapeutic relationship has the ability to heal, to empower, and to initiate lasting change. It can help guide you through life's challenges so that you emerge stronger and wiser. I work with adults, couples and adolescents, many of whom seek therapy simply because they are feeling "stressed out" or "not as happy" as they'd like, while others may be experiencing more significant symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Imagine that little voice in your head telling you you're not good enough. That it’s all your fault. Making you relive the worst days of your life. The intrusive thought that causes you to question your every movement and tells you to participate in seemingly odd behaviors - or else. Notice how you have tried so hard to make it go away, but you can’t seem to shake the feeling of being stuck. My goal as your therapist is to help YOU run the show. Not your inner dialogue, your past, or your fears.

As humans we all have our own vulnerabilities, desires, insecurities, and each of us, our own past. Working with a counselor is a tool of empowerment that allows us to meet our goals, create self awareness, and foster changes we wish to see in our lives. With life’s twists and turns, we can get out of balance and have struggles with adapting to our ever-changing surroundings. I work with clients to find healing and growth in a safe, non-judgmental space.
