You've started looking for a therapist because something is getting in the way of your leading the life you want: worsening anxiety, a life event, feeling down, stuck or unhappy. My specialty is individualized counseling based on the personality, needs and goals of my patients. I don't judge. I will be your biggest cheerleader to help you over whatever hurdles are in your way. Everyone wants to lead life to the fullest, and we should feel worthy of that life. All too often I hear patients say, "I don't deserve.." or "I'm not good enough." We get trapped in comparing ourselves to others and hearing past messages of discouragement.

I have an unusual background for a psychotherapist. Before I started my counseling career, I worked as a TV news reporter, an online media executive, and an adjunct college professor. This diverse experience in journalism, business, and education has given me valuable skills that I use in my counseling practice. My sense of humor is another important part of my counseling style. I take my work with clients seriously, but there are times when therapy needs to include some humor. I also offer life coaching for clients who want to make some changes but don't know where to start.

My experience & training in medicine accompanied by my training in mental health counseling allows me to support my clients from a unique perspective. My approach to improved mental health is to address not only the present, but to look to the past to elicit both understanding about learned behaviors and beliefs, while also identifying times of strength that can be applied to present day struggles. I enjoy working with individuals who are facing challenges with relationships, chronic medical illness, perinatal mood disorders, life transitions, parenting and their careers.

I bring a sense of humor and compassion to my work with clients.  Your issues may, of course, be serious, but sometimes humor can help bring needed perspective.  I provide counseling as well as life coaching.  I realize some people are stuck in a rut and just need just 5-10 sessions to get going. Other people might be interested in a more long term approach.  I can work with you either way. I realize that you might feel apprehensive about the counseling process, so I have incorporated an easygoing style that greatly helps to reduce people's sense of unease. I want to get to know you so we can get working!

I have helped clients overcome difficult issues from their past and/or present; find freedom from unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors; and go on to live fuller, more rewarding lives as a result. I believe that professional counseling can provide psychological and emotional healing, as well as spiritual wholeness. I integrate the best that psychotherapy has to offer with scriptural truths. I offer the support and guidance you'll need to help identify and overcome any harmful beliefs as well as destructive behaviors that may be preventing you from fully experiencing your best life, the life that God intends for you to live.
