Throughout our lives, we all find ourselves struggling with negative thoughts or engaging in behaviors that aren't serving us. Do you want to make real changes in your life? Would you like to have stronger boundaries? Do you need support with figuring out how to shape your life? Through therapy, you can explore your needs, emotions, beliefs, identities, relationships, values, goals, and so much more. Therapy can support you in challenging yourself to make important life changes by developing skills and techniques to break habits and patterns that are no longer useful.

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 feeling stuck or struggling to make changes in your life but can’t quite figure out how to get there? I offer tools to help people learn to decode their emotions so that they no longer need a therapist guiding them, but rather they can address life's challenges with greater confidence. My treatment focuses on helping people accept the past, and make concrete changes in their lives that lead to a greater sense of peace and satisfaction. My aim is to create a warm, collaborative, and accepting environment where you can feel comfortable expressing your emotions.

Welcome! You made a great first step. One of the most important parts of finding a counselor, is finding a counselor that you connect to and can trust. Without positive rapport, you will likely struggle to make progress on your goals. Therefore, I think it is important for you to know who I am as a counselor. As a counselor, I try my best to honor the client throughout the counseling process. My hope is that you will be empowered to be the director of the counseling process. To help build empowerment and positive rapport, I will utilize here-and-now awareness, unconditional positive regard, and empathy.

The hardest part of our journey begins with the first step. Looking at your current circumstances you may understand that change needs to take place, but just lost at where to begin—I’ve been there. There comes a time in each of our lives where we can reflect. This reflection upon our lives is often never easy. It is like an arduous journey filled with hills and valleys. Sometimes this requires letting go of pent up emotions and ingrained behaviors which may have served a purpose for some time but no longer serve us. My passion is to help individuals through this time teaching them the tools needed to navigate their new paths.

Welcome. I am glad you’re here. Finding a therapist is hard. I want to make it easy. When we feel stuck, burdened by unhealthy patterns, or are experiencing life transitions, we can feel anxious, sad, overwhelmed, and lost. You have come to the right place. Therapy is a tool, much like visiting a doctor for your physical health, that can help you get back on track. My style is warm, authentic, and non-judgmental. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment by listening closely and responding with compassion. I will give you plenty of space to share, explore, and deepen your insight.

NOTE:. As of Jan. 1, 2022, my practice is closed to new clients. Past clients should feel free to contact me to see if I have availability to see them but should be aware that I currently do only televideo sessions. Making the decision to seek therapy is an important one, and it generally stirs up a mixture of feelings, including both excitement and anxiety. I focus on helping my clients feel safe in sharing their difficulties and goals and in assessing their needs. I work to help clients to find meaning and strategies to move past old patterns to live well in the present.
