I bring 30 years of counseling experience to our time together. My orientation can best be described as eclectic, drawing from rogerian, cognitive behavioral and family systems theory and techniques. Our first session provides the opportunity to decide together whether I am best able to help you accomplish your goals. If you are unsure of who/what would best suit your needs, I will be glad to offer my help in finding the resources you ay need.

You have the power to tell your story and use your voice. I have a desire to listen and guide you through the story. I offer an integrative, caring approach with an empathetic style.

You have the ability to make counseling a productive part of your life. The theories I offer become tools to manage stress and improve functioning.

Young adults face many life transitions, such as identity exploration, planning for future education and career, and relationship challenges. Their therapeutic needs are personal and unique to their overall goals and view of life. Exploring trauma, addressing identity issues, reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, and creating a new narrative for success are all part of effective psychotherapy.

I believe everyone is capable of living a life that brings them joy, happiness, and purpose- whatever that may mean to them. Too often, however, we are carrying the weight of stress, trauma, grief, regret, and shame with us as we try to push forward. Whether the effects of this weight is obvious, or you have adapted your life and identity to hide them, you deserve to be free to live your life in good health, with hope and happiness.

My contact with clients starts by providing a safe, secure environment in which the client can slowly open themselves to the therapeutic process. I have special training in attachment issues and injuries but also blend cognitive behavioral, systems therapy, solution focused and neuroscience modalities into treatment as needed.

I am so thankful that you have chosen to reach out for support. I am a LPC specializing in work with adults. Therapy can be enlightening and transformative when you are paired with the right therapist for you.

Throughout life most of us experience transitions that challenge and transform us. Many of these passages can be navigated more effectively with the knowledge and compassion of an experienced professional. Combining Jungian psychology, family systems, humanistic psychology, modern neuroscience and mindfulness, I bring my full attention and presence to the sacred work of healing mind, body and heart with each client. In addition to traditional therapy, dream-work and creative expressions such as art, poetry, music and dance facilitate healing and growth. Relaxation and meditation techniques assist with grounding and centering.

I always gravitated to jobs that entailed helping people: Teacher; Red Cross; Covenant House. I had also pursued seminary studies and was briefly on track to becoming a clergyman. Entry into grad school to study Counseling seemed the next natural step in my career path. But there was a more profound reason I became a Professional Helper, and that is my own lifelong struggles with anxiety and depression.

Are you a woman who has found yourself going through a tough life transition and feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or even depressed? Are you looking for support to help you cope with not feeling like yourself, low self-confidence, parenting stress, or life as a newly postpartum mom?

Whether it's life stressors, relationships and parenting, pregnancy, grief and loss, anxiety and depression, low self-esteem, worry, limited support, or changes in mood, Psychotherapy for Women is here for you.

My ideal client will want to grow from our time together. I will provide you with education and ideas as to how you can improve your mental health. What you do with that information outside of our sessions determines your success!

I believe that therapy should be an active process, where clients work not only to reduce symptoms, but also to lead more fulfilling and meaningful lives. I enjoy helping clients examine their approach to their problems, face their fears and identify what really matters to them. I work primarily from a cognitive-behavioral perspective, which focuses on helping clients change their perspective and take action to improve their lives.

I have experience working with adults across the lifespan and adolescents that struggle with all types of mental health diagnoses. I have worked as a supervisor in the field of substance use and primary therapist at all levels of care. Prior to entering the field of mental health, I was a member of the United States Army and served in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Everyone faces challenges in life. At some point, you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns of thinking or behaving that no longer work for you. I believe counseling is a collaborative process, in which we will work together to address the barriers which may be holding you back from fully engaging in your life or achieving your true potential. Together we can identify your individual strengths and find the motivation to improve your life situation. I would be honored to be a part of your journey toward personal growth.

Personal growth and a life fulfilled is what most people strive to achieve in this lifetime. But personal growth is NOT with out challenge.... Have you experienced a major life event such as the death of a loved one, loss of employment, divorce or retirement? Are you thinking...how do I create a "New Normal"? .... Are you feeling overwhelmed... don't know where to begin? Are you pondering if your emotional responses could be hindering a better life choice or change? When exploring your values and priorities...are they truly YOUR choices or are you trying to fulfill a role and please others?

I find great joy in investing in the lives of others. I consider it a privilege to facilitate counseling and be able to help people manage and navigate through difficult life experiences and transitions. I would like to walk alongside you through whatever challenges you may be currently experiencing. Whether you would like to work on processing past trauma, managing anxiety or depressed feelings, managing difficult relationships, developing coping skills or just have a listening ear from a neutral party – I can help.
