You deserve an expansive and liberated life. Many of my clients are exploring what it means to be their most authentic self, and how to deal with the barriers that stand in their way. They're looking for a place to be seen and understood, and to be able to let down their guard. I see clients who are navigating identity, sexuality, and belonging; those with trauma histories, anxiety, and depression, looking for relief and a deeper healing that takes them to a place of ease and fulfillment. They may have tried other solutions, but feel stuck and eager for a lasting and meaningful change.

I specialize in addictions (both adult and adolescent) and parent child relationships with teenagers. I work with young adults in helping them transition from high school to college to adult life. I have also had a great deal of experience working with victims of sexual abuse (both adult and adolescent).

As a therapist who has formerly worked in full time ministry I also enjoy working with people who are dealing with religious issues whether it is deconstruction or helping them develop the spiritual life they want.

I have been in practice 16-years and have opened my service area thanks to Google Meet & Facetime.

Counseling is a space where you don’t have to pretend everything is okay or hide what you’re going through. You do that enough in other areas of your life. You do not have to repeat those patterns here. In counseling, all parts of you are welcome and all the things you have gone through can be talked about. My goal is to work together to reclaim your life through talk and connection by affirming your needs, identity and beliefs while urging you to make informed decisions about therapy.

Life is too short to live in pain, fear or without joy. I love to help clients resolve issues, improve relationships and find the joy in their life.

I really don't have an ideal client. However, I prefer to work with people who are motivated to address their issues. I have experience in working with depression and anxiety. Issues of crisis intervention, post-traumatic stress, veterans concerns, and sexual abuse are all part of my skill set. Most people need support and compassion. The presenting problem may be related to other issues. Family of origin circumstances are frequently an issue. I work in conjunction with the client to develop a treatment plan. We devise goals and define what they hope to accomplish.

In an atmosphere of acceptance, I will establish and maintain a trusting relationship to promote your growth and self-direction. I use brief therapy techniques to assist clients with their anxiety, stress, depression, sexual abuse, grief and relationship conflicts.
