I understand that life gets messy and has its challenges. Living with stress, depression, and low self-esteem can be overwhelming and sometimes can make you feel stuck. My goal as a counselor is to walk alongside my clients and show them that they have the power to turn things around and make their lives better. I will provide a safe place for my clients to explore their struggles and learn new, healthy tools, and coping skills. I have experience working with children, foster children, parents, foster parents, and I am committed to showing all clients they have the strength to work through difficult challenges.

My specialties include working with individuals who are dealing with relationship issues, including: a new relationship/ marriage, the end of a relationship, the birth of a child or experiencing a deployed family member. My expertise is in: grief/loss, military service and families, as well as postpartum/ prenatal care.

I specialize in helping individuals cope and transcend some of life's most difficult stressors that often cause anxiety and depression. I work with clients who are caregivers, as well as those dealing with loss and grief. I work with clients facing chronic and terminal illness to find meaning and purpose in their lives. I specialize in working with clients suffering with pain, sleep problems, and experiencing insomnia. I also specialize in health behavior change, whether your goals are to improve your physical health via diet, exercise, and adaptive thinking, I will help motivate you to take action and ascend!

Change is difficult, but so is staying the same. Are you trying to navigate in this ever-changing world?

If you are aware that there is work to be done and are ready to find different paths and to see a different way, then let's begin.

I specialize in working with adult survivors of child abuse, grief, and trauma, but also have substantial experience working with various anxiety and depression issues.

Are you tired of struggling with stress, fear, pain, despair and hopelessness? Have you tried endless approaches and gotten nowhere? Do you feel stuck? I know how you feel. I was there. Stressful events experienced in life often lead to negative self-image and sabotaging coping mechanisms. Most modalities focus on alleviating symptoms. The causes at the root of our issues are continually ignored. Unresolved root causes are a driving force behind our physical, mental and emotional imbalances. Begin the most effective training you’ll ever experience. Learn to work with your own brain to finally secure rapid and lasting relief!

Seeking therapy is an act of courage when your life is not working, when you are feeling overwhelming emotions, or are ready to grow. With over 35 years of experience, I work skillfully with adults, children, families & couples. I am here to compassionately facilitate your learning to live your life with emotional freedom, purpose, creativity, passion & joy! Get in touch with the strength & beauty of your Inner Self & develop more satisfying relationships. Examine your thinking & beliefs & develop mindfulness, transforming your moods & your life. I use a gentle therapeutic style which is an eclectic, psychodynamic, humanistic, transpersonal & holistic wellness approach.

My role is to support you in creating your own understanding of self, explore your personal truths, and identify your strengths. You have a story and deserve a safe space to share it. My top priority as a therapist is to create a safe, non-judgmental, and non-pathologizing environment to support you in telling your story and working through the process of positive change. My goal is to engage collaboratively and compassionately with each of my clients throughout their therapeutic journey. I find special value in working with all clients on finding new ways to care for self on a deeper and more intimate level.

I work with people of all ages and backgrounds who are going through or looking for change in their lives. Does this sound like you? "I often feel life is taking me for a ride." " I seem to respond to circumstances rather than create opportunities." "I know there is more to life than this!" I help my clients identify their limiting beliefs and understand how they influence the perception of life experiences. When limiting beliefs are replaced by positive, empowering beliefs, we can eliminate obstacles which are keeping you from becoming the best YOU, that you can be.

I help people who seek to increase awareness, strengths, intelligence (IQ and EQ), resiliency, create empowering processes and solutions leading to meaningful life engagement, and improving quality of life. I have worked with all ages, backgrounds and issues, individuals, couples and families. I have found the best predictor of effective therapy is how well the client connects with the therapist. I am open to working with all people, cultures and concerns.

As we all continue to navigate life's transitions and changes, we eventually find ourselves needing guidance and support along the way. Whether you or someone you know is currently thriving or struggling in life, deciding to seek therapy can often be a helpful, rewarding, and life-changing experience. Finding and choosing a therapist, however, could be challenging and overwhelming. Not only must practical matters be considered, such as fees and scheduling, so must the therapist's style, approach, and qualifications. In other words, it has to be a "good fit" and it must "feel right."

The therapeutic relationship is crucial to the healing process, whether the problem is with external relationships, traumatic experience, or one's relationship with the self. I use psychoanalytic principles and relational dynamics to explore the internal conflicts and patterns that are at the root of emotional, psychological and relational problems. I am also sensitive to spirituality and the existential problems inherent in being human, and how these affect us all. I have a special interest in the psychology of twins and intersubjective relating in general.
