Progress > Perfection! Life can be overwhelming for people who have experienced a trauma, lost hope in finding happiness from within, or are having difficulties coping with the stressors of everyday life. I believe in strengthening clients to restore healthy lives through self-determination & meeting the client where they are at. My calming & supportive presence allows a safe environment for clients to freely express their thoughts & feelings. Once a therapeutic relationship is established, I believe in teaching clients how to help themselves by listening to their narratives & guiding them in the direction of their individual goals.

Anxiety, depression, problems in relationships, career, life transitions, cultural/ societal impact or struggling to overcome loss or trauma - these are universal human experiences. Things become problematic when they start to impact our daily functioning and quality of life. We know when something isn't right. We feel stuck, lost or alone. This is where counseling can help. I have spent the past 20+ years providing compassionate, non-judgmental, therapeutic care to help foster my clients’ cognitive, emotional and interpersonal strengths. I aim to empower my clients' ability to heal, thrive and grow from life's challenges.

I’ve been a licensed psychotherapist for many years and now retired. Over the span of my career, I’ve worked with children, adults and families to help them achieve a higher quality of life. This is why people seek out therapy. I recognize when people experience symptoms of mental health conditions, such as anxiety, adult ADHD, depression, stress, or struggles that arise in work, friends, close/marital and family relationships can often lead to feeling trapped. If you’re seeking help to overcome these challenges that stand in the way of living the quality of life you want, I can help.

“You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” -Maya Angelou These words highlight my passion in helping my clients to discover their strengths and step forward to improve their overall mental health. Many individuals are unhappy because they do not accept circumstances or things they are unable to change (the past; what others think, feel, say, or do) or else have no control over (the weather, traffic, natural disasters, and lost time).

My therapeutic lens is informed by over twenty years of meditation and yoga practice. If you're looking for traditional talk therapy, my approach may not be the best fit. I work holistically. I combine talk-based therapies (CBT, Psychodynamic, etc.) with body-based mindfulness. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). I work with people navigating trauma and I'm interested in exploring the stories that the body wants to tell. Ultimately, my aim is to increase self-awareness and emotional resilience to foster greater self-acceptance and to develop more satisfying relationships.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, a survivor of religious trauma, and someone who suffers from a chronic physical illness, I know that life is full of ups and downs. These ups and downs shape us into who we are, for better or worse, but that doesn't mean you can't make positive changes. In the past couple years I had the privilege to work with a therapist who helped me work through the best and worst parts of who I am and become proud of who I am. That is why I want to be your therapist. I want to be able to provide you with the opportunity that I had, the opportunity to become the best and most authentic person you can be.

I believe all of us have to nurture our emotional health. Everyone goes through challenging life situations, and while you may have successfully navigated through other life challenges you've faced, sometimes we need extra support.
