With over 20 years of professional experience I know that no single approach is the right one for every client, so I have been trained in a wide range of modalities that address and treat multiple needs. My focus and passion is helping my clients address life challenges. I carefully meet each individual where they are and explore the best approach on their wellness journey. I empower self-growth, promote self-actualization, strengthen relationships, and reduce emotional suffering in a safe, supportive environment.

Can life just stop being a shit show? You work your butt off for a job that you constantly feel the "Sunday Scaries" over, you come home to a sink full of dishes and somehow twice as much laundry than what you saw the basket this morning, your mom made yet another comment about the way you choose to parent your kids, and you can’t even remember the last time you had a real, guilt-free night out. It's all starting to close in on you and you wish you could just run. It would be so easy to just run, wouldn't it?

Do you desire healing? I believe we all possess the skills we need to live a happy, fulfilled life, but sometimes need assistance to change the patterns of thoughts and behaviors standing in our way. I will help you identify unhealthy patterns, and work with you to achieve a more well balanced, healthy life. My areas of focus are working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions women's issues and couples counseling. Relationships are hard! In my work with couples I focus on identifying challenges, strengths between the couple and building the lines of communication.

Therapy is for everyone. Being a kid is a hard job and being a parent isn't easy either. It can be lonely, isolating and overwhelming when you or your child is struggling. We aren't meant to struggle alone. My passion is helping kids, adolescents, and their families learn how to navigate big feelings, stress and overwhelm. I have dedicated my career to supporting children and parents in their journey toward social and emotional well-being. Do you need help understanding the IEP, 504, or gifted process at school? During my 15 years as a school counselor I helped many families walk through these steps.

I have a passion for helping people find their way. I have been a therapist for over a decade, helped hundreds of individuals and their families, but I have a particular interest in supporting those that are in the "odyssey years". That period of searching and wandering that often starts in late adolescence and for many, lasts upwards of around a decade. Trying to figure out who you are and how that relates to or is impacted by your family, your friends, your job/career, and your life aspirations can be simultaneously exhilarating and overwhelming. You are in the driver's seat, I can just help you navigate the twists and turns.

Society Today is faced with multiple Life stressors ranging from Financial, Marital, Relational, issues with employment and or Life In General. Through Therapy, an Individualized Improvement Plan can be devised and implemented to assist individuals with coping and possibly overcoming the issues they are facing. Adolescents and Teens are complicated, and I am eager to assist. Teen groups are available as well as individualized treatment. Two people working together are always better than one. As a therapist I have learned the more input a client contributes to their therapeutic goals the better the outcomes and success possibility.

With a dash of quirkiness and a whole lot of compassion, I create an inviting space where clients can truly be themselves. Many of my clients march to their own beat, and I am passionate about welcoming you and providing a safe haven for those who might not resonate with traditional norms. I believe that my clients WANT to feel better and that they are doing the best they can. With a profound respect for the beauty of neurodiversity and a keen understanding of the multifaceted experiences within the LGBTQ+ community, I offer an empathetic and open-minded approach to counseling.

Hello, I am so pleased you stopped by my page. Please allow me to share my heart with you. Beyond my credentials and the obvious that I’m a Licensed clinician, I am genuinely interested in who you are and your unique experiences that has brought you to this point in life. Sometimes, everyday stressors, relationships, inner conflicts, and other life disturbances leave us feeling overwhelmed and stuck in our pain but there is no need to remain there suffering in silence . It takes acknowledgement, strength and a certain determination to address self and pursue change. I commend you for starting your journey to health and wellness.

Life can be hard! If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, unable to enjoy life, having trouble with relationships...consider reaching out for help. My areas of interest include: depression, anxiety, grief, stress management, women’s issues, relationship issues, life transitions and self-esteem. Whatever challenges you may be facing, let's work through them together.

Suffering is a part of life that even the most perfect lives must endure. So, how do we make the most of our pain and suffering? How do we get through these difficult times, without coming out empty handed? Let me help you navigate and understand the meaning behind your pain and suffering, even if you believe that there couldn't possibly be meaning. Alone, you are left questioning yourself, wandering through the dark. Together we can try to find the light and explore how to transform your pain into strength and wisdom.

I believe people are more than their diagnosis. Yes, a diagnosis is a tool but it is not the big picture. I come from a place of curiosity and wonder, wanting to know my clients on a deeper level so that I can help them navigate this world. For example, PTSD is a big diagnosis that is thrown around; yet, it doesn't paint the full picture. It doesn't reflect someone's experiences, triggers, how this is impacting their relationships, family history, the strengths they possess etc. Adolescents are my passion however, I also enjoy and work closely with families and adults.

Starting the search for a therapist is an act of bravery. As if life isn't tricky enough on its own, then we throw in anxiety, depression or trauma and it can feel even heavier. Self esteem struggles? Not sure what path to take? Feel like you just can't handle what life keeps throwing at you? I'm here for all of it. Are you a parent that needs strategies to help your child? I'm here to support you as well.

I have always said that I wanted to be a safe space for those who have experienced high levels of trauma and never felt as if they had somebody truly in their corner. Whether it be a child who is struggling to make it through the day to day because they feel different because of their life experiences, or an adult who is finally ready to feel the freedom that comes from healing, I desire to be a safe space for that individual. Trauma stole your balance, and you should absolutely be willing to fight for it to return.

We all seek to belong and to be accepted for who we are. When our experiences or relationships lead us to feel negative about ourselves or develop anxiety, we can lose hope. We can develop unhealthy coping strategies or ways of interacting with others that can be harmful to ourselves physically or emotionally. These can lead us to feeling out of control and present with conflicts in our relationships closest to us. I believe we can work together to find hope and create solutions. Let's work together to transform how you feel instead of living a life just coping with how you feel.

Reaching out for help for yourself or your child is hard and scary! Life can be challenging and sometimes we need extra support to get us through life transitions or daily stressors. My role as a therapist is to help your child and family understand and process their emotions, while also providing you with skills to calm your body and mind. I enjoy incorporating play and art into sessions to give children outlets to express their thoughts and feelings when they don’t yet have the words to do so.
