You have taken a courageous step to consider counseling! It is my privilege to create a safe, nurturing space for you to breathe... to concentrate on self-care. There is rest, here. There is room for you to BE you. Room to step back, to consider, to contemplate. Room to grow in understanding, practical skills, and a fresh perspective. There is room for hope. My practice focuses on strengthening marriages, couples' relationships, and on individual counseling for a variety of issues. My approach is attachment based, client focused, interactive, and is grounded in Biblical principles of love, gratitude and grace.

My passion is people. I center my practice around growth achieved by understanding our full selves through a lens of curiosity and kindness. Our remembered past, and the unseen forces that helped shape who we are today, matter. Uncovering the impact these experiences have on us is a crucial step toward building the internal space needed for growth. We can’t remove these experiences, but we can learn to understand, accept, and reorganize them in a way that creates room for change. Focusing on the person and their experiences, rather than the disorders or labels they’ve been given, allows me to address current symptoms holistically.

Therapy offers a unique opportunity for your voice and your story – to explore with curiosity, to be seen and heard, to heal and grow toward a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Oftentimes, our stories can be fraught with turmoil, confusion, and pain. The challenges of relationships, stress, work or school can be overwhelming and isolating to navigate alone. Clients express a growing desiring for more beyond familiar patterns or experiences that leave them feeling stuck or exhausted. They report that the courage to honestly tend to current hopes and struggles, including their past, to be a significant and meaningful decision.

Current availability: T, Th, F midday/early afternoon. My practice focuses on anxiety and life transitions and I have special niche for people without kids and those affected by cancer. You may also be unsure about a life transition or parenthood and that is ok too! In fact, I think pursuing therapy during this ambivalence could really helpful. Your story is your own and I’m here to support you with enthusiastic empathy. I know that a childless/childfree speciality is rare and I have lived experience in this area. It may feel good to just be in the presence of someone who ‘gets it’ as we work on other things in your life.

Conditions successfully treated during fourteen years experience working with individuals, couples and families include depression, anxiety, procrastination and achievement issues relative to work, school or creativity ; alienation, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction and compulsive behavior, life satisfaction and identity.

At times, we may lose our ability to trust our intuition. We may feel like imposters in our relationships, jobs or within ourselves. Therapy can offer a bridge back to understanding your authentic needs. I work with adults of all genders, races and sexual orientations experiencing anxiety, self-doubt and perfectionism. Symptoms related to these issues can manifest as feeling cut off from emotions, overwhelm, stress and burnout. I also provide services to athletes and performing artists who may be experiencing life transitions, performance anxiety or injury.

I primarily provide individual therapy to adults (ages 18-45) who wish to address acute or long-term trauma, specifically childhood sexual abuse/sexual assault but other traumas as well. I approach each client through a developmental lens, understanding that concerns manifest differently depending on one's age and developmental stage at the time of the trauma as well as at the time of treatment. I also am available to work with parents, many who are navigating challenges associated with helping a child who has been traumatized, who wish to explore more positive discipline strategies.

Have you ever had that moment when suddenly you see a situation in a new light and your perspective changes for the better? My aim with therapy is to facilitate that "a-ha" moment for yourself within the struggle that is bringing you into therapy. By providing a validating and trusting space we can be curious about emotions without shaming or shutting them down. We can explore the story we tell ourselves and the meaning we give our lives. Sometimes we can't break out of certain behaviors/anxieties and need an outside, non-judgmental observer to help us see our patterns because we are "in it" and too close to see the big picture.

“How can I reconnect intimately with my partner?” “How do we navigate having different levels of sexual desire?” “How do we rebuild trust after it’s been broken?” “Who am I and what does that mean?” These are all questions I have heard many iterations of in my therapy office, so if you’ve found yourself asking some of these same questions, you’re not alone. Whether you're tackling rebuilding trust, cultivating intimacy, exploring sexuality, deconstructing harmful self-narratives, or developing communication skills, it is an honor to walk alongside you during this journey, as you invest in yourself and your relationships.

If you are looking for support in dealing with your own changing life situation I offer individual counseling specializing in issues around aging and transitions. Consultation is available for the adult child who may be a caregiver or is wondering what the next steps could be or what community resources are available for an aging parent. Many adult children do not live near their parents or do not have the time to manage their parent's care. Having a local Geriatric Care Manager can ease some of the burden and worry around safety, care and placement concerns.

Many times when people find themselves in challenging circumstances, they are able to find solutions on their own. This innovation and resourcefulness in people excites me and gives me hope. Other times, the difficulties life throws one's way may seem too overwhelming, complicated or scary to deal with. Sometimes people come up with temporary solutions to problems so they can cope in the meantime. All of these responses to adversity and challenges are normal and, in my experience, people seek out therapy when their options or their “stories” feel stuck.

It is not uncommon for individuals considering talk therapy to put it off. Time. Money. Scheduling. But what about the cost of NOT doing talk therapy? What about the cost of stress? Unhealthy relationships? Limiting your full potential because of low self esteem or lack of self confidence? Impulsive behaviors that leave you feeling empty? The real bargain is living a life of healthy functioning. Working toward enduring change. Replacing those parts of your life that hold you back to make room for a life in which you flourish.

Suffering is not evidence of failure. It is evidence of one thing... your humanity. We all suffer sometimes and we all deserve compassion and care simply because we're human. Coming to therapy can be scary. Even as you're reaching out to have a chance at a better experience in life, you want to know that who you are, and where you are now, will be respected and cared for. I believe good therapy can be both challenging and gentle, supportive and enlivening.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
