We will create a safe and supportive environment (online) so that our clients are able to set and meet their goals without feeling judged or criticized. Our clients "drive" the counseling process, while we gently support them on their road to recovery and personal growth.

As your therapist, it is my intention to be a fellow traveler on your path towards understanding who you are and what you need. In our work together there is opportunity to utilize the creative process as a means of exploring the concepts of healing. While in an environment rooted in safety and respect, art therapy offers the opportunity to explore, express and contain the spectrum of emotions we experience as human beings that can often leave us feeling overwhelmed and disheartened.

What do YOU need? This is the deceptively simple question which I ask my clients almost every session. What would change if you asked yourself that simple question more often? This is an example of some of the foundational work which I'll infuse into our sessions. I LOVE what I do and am so honored to be a part of your life! My goal as your therapist is to encourage, support, empower, and listen. I view therapy as a true partnership where you're not alone while you navigate the 'messy middle' of life in these uncertain times. I work solely virtually after getting positive feedback from busy clients who appreciate this convenience.

Are you a 40+ woman who is twice exceptional (intelligent and ADHD), feeling overwhelmed? Is it even harder because your parents are accomplished people, and you feel like you can't keep up with expectations? You are hardworking and others count on you. But there are days when it feels like it takes all you have just to get dressed and out the door. Your brain either supercharged or foggy, and you can't often predict which it will be. So you sometimes feel like an Impostor who is just "pulling it off". You had trauma, recently or in the past, which doesn't help. You are ready for change, but you need to be understood.

One of the bravest things a person can do is reach out for support. And here you are, doing just that. Let’s be honest: life can be just plain difficult. When dealing with challenging life circumstances, trauma, loss, or relationship patterns that aren’t serving you, it can be helpful to have a safe place to process your feelings and concerns.

You made it home. Everybody is glad you're back but you're miserable - and guilty - because you'd rather be there than here. You have relationship, porn and alcohol problems and miss the structure that got you through every day. Most of all, you miss your friends. They're the only ones who really get it: Going into an insurgents house, you know there's a change in plan just by reading your Sergeant's eyes. Going into your house, your partner can talk for hours and you still don't know what they want! No wonder you watch the war channel all night.

I understand that self-care, healthy interventions, and emotional support are essential factors in the therapeutic relationship. Sessions are focused on assisting clients in helping them manage the emotions they experience in their daily lives through a person-centered approach. I strive to assist clients in processing and breaking down their problems, challenges, or past trauma by creating a supportive environment and goal-oriented approach. I understand that each person's needs are different and a diverse approach is used to assist each person in meeting their goals and creating change.
