My approach to counseling is drawn from many different disciplines, with an emphasis on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I use empathic and deep listening to HEAR my clients. Of most importance to me is working with the client to achieve their goals within our counseling sessions- goals that we set together as we begin our work. I strive to meet the client "where they are" and move them forward to heal, change and grow in positive ways.

ACCEPTING CLIENTS VIA TELEHEALTH ON TUES &THURS (AS OF 10/30/2020). Life is challenging. Life’s challenges, both past and present, place stress on our bodies and our minds. Left unaddressed or untreated, stress progresses to distress which negatively impacts our ability to experience fulfillment and enjoyment in our lives. Distress also interferes with our ability to function to the best of our abilities in our home, work place, and community once it progresses to symptoms of anxiety or depression.

*NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* OFFERING TELEHEALTH as we experience the impact of daily stressors. Do you find yourself struggling, unsure of yourself, not knowing which way to turn for help? Life can be difficult at times, be it related to changes in health, work, loss, or relationship issues. These changes can create feelings that can leave you anxious, overwhelmed, or even saddened by your life circumstances. Because I believe that one’s path is unique to the individual, beginning "where you are at" allows us to focus on how we can work together in a safe and trusting environment to help you recognize your own strengths.

*****I don't have openings at this time **** With my background in Ecopsychology, Existential Therapy and Expressive Arts Therapies and other creative approaches, I have discovered that therapy can be a way of having fun. In our sessions, not only are we going to look at problems, we will also look at possibilities. I provide a respectful, safe and fun space where we will work together to address your current concerns.

There's a sense of disconnection leading you to act in ways that feel inauthentic. Relationships drain all of your energy and you've noticed this pattern repeating itself. You give so much to others only to realize that they’re not emotionally available for you. You're often dismissed and never seem to be anyone's priority. When you think about "healthy relationships" you know it's something you want but you're not really sure what it means or how to get there.

I believe in the importance of understanding your unique set of life circumstances as well as your personal strengths and challenges. I understand that you are looking for positive, lasting change. My emphasis is on partnering with you to identify a specific plan that works for you. Ultimately we will work together to increase your sense of inner peace and to resolve painful sources of stress.
