Sometimes mental health and emotional challenges can be so overwhelming that you might forget you still have a meaningful life to live. Therapy is about helping you embrace your unique purpose and meaning in addition to managing symptoms. The Center for Authentic Living provides the caring, individualized, and affordable mental healthcare that you need from the convenience of your laptop or mobile device.

Most of us would like to lead beautiful lives, but beauty is an elusive dance partner for the individual who is holding anger and resentment. I offer an individual anger management class. (The Pinnacle Center also offers a group class online.) The class I offer is designed for individuals who want to take the class in-person or who prefer an individual setting as opposed to a group. Since it is an individual program, I can design the individual class to meet the particular needs and schedule of the person enrolling. This individual anger management class is designed to be equivalent to a a 12-week group anger management class.

Making changes in your life can be exciting, scary or often a mixture of both. You want to have the right support when you are experiencing a life transition such as gender transition; opening, escalating, or de-escalating a relationship; accepting and affirming a diagnosis of neurodivergence; or navigating the diagnosis or progression of a disability or chronic illness in yourself or a loved one. If you are seeking an experienced and passionate mental health professional to explore the emotional impact of LGBTQIA+ identity, polyamory, or disability, I would like to talk to you more about how I can help.

Are you feeling discouraged, stressed, or looking for a life change? It is not unusual to find yourself stuck in a situation. Many life events may affect your feelings such as divorce/separation, financial trouble, sexuality issues or a career change. Solutions to your problems may be difficult to achieve alone; therefore, I would like the opportunity to help you with exploring options to make your life better. Utilizing a cognitive-behavioral approach can contribute to creating the difference you deserve. Together, we can create positive change and growth in your life.

I work with adults using humanistic and existential approaches. This means I view emotional distress and troublesome behaviors as natural human reactions to common life challenges. Despite conventional wisdom, there is no scientific evidence that they are dysfunctions of the mind or brain. Instead, they are personal, spiritual, political, financial, moral, and existential challenges that we all face. They can be very emotionally disruptive, but rest assured, there is nothing wrong with you or your brain. Calling them "mental illnesses" or "disorders" is very misleading and potentially harmful.

Do you or someone you love struggle to stop using substances? Having difficulty coping with the "new norm" dealing with COVID? Do you feel so overwhelmed that everything is helplessly mundane?

As an experienced psychotherapist, I believe in integrating various therapeutic approaches that will allow a person to restructure their thoughts and behaviors through practical cognitive principles. My therapeutic approach is based upon the “whole person concept”, considering the importance of individual, cultural, family, and communal variables within the lives of clients seeking therapy. Therapy is not a "one-size-fits-all" journey, and it can be a challenge to overcome the societal stigmas associated with seeking mental health treatment.

I specialize in offering a safe, therapeutic space for adult women seeking to alleviate stress, anxiety, and navigate life transitions. Overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, nervous about the next step? Having trouble adjusting to pending or present changes? Perhaps you are having a hard time managing life and its endless responsibilities, and doubting yourself in the process. Mental wellness often takes a backseat due to the societal pressures to manage, remain strong, be successful, and balance many roles. I offer a safe place to figure out how to bring balance and peace in your life.

The instruction for this section of information is to "imagine your ideal client." To me, YOU are the ideal client! You bring to sessions your own individual needs, problems, issues, and story. One of the fascinating aspects of this profession, to me, is the unique nature of every client I encounter. We begin our work together wherever you feel you have the greatest need. We work together to improve your life, to articulate your hopes, and to move, practically, toward the best life you imagine for yourself.

I work with people who are grieving the loss of a loved one from death....but also those who have been diagnosed with a chronic or terminal illness, those suffering the loss of relationships, independence, career or loss of community from moving to a new place, infidelity and those dealing with the loss of a beloved pet. Life is full of transitions. Many people end up feeling isolated, like the world is going on around you and you're just standing still, questioning whether you're going crazy or having a mental health issue because you're experiencing feelings you've never felt before.

Therapy is a support that can be used to further enlighten you on your own personal development to communicate more articulately, enhance your relationships, learn how to better cope with stress, become more insightful in your parenting, be better equipped to understand and guide your children, and/or improve your general family life.
