Is this the life you imagined you'd have? Do you suffer from depression, loneliness, anxiety, relationship or self-esteem problems, work or family difficulties? I work with adults going through transitions and with people who would like to understand how their past affects them today.

I believe that you should feel comfortable with the therapist you choose and hopeful about the therapy. When you feel this way, therapy is more likely to have a positive outcome. Please allow me to describe how I see therapy. I use a cognitive behavioral approach, which is based on the idea that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors, not things such as people, situations, and events. I am a firm believer that we can change the way we think, feel, and act even if the situation does not change. Today you are one step closer to a new "you" where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being.

Over the years, my therapeutic style and experience have evolved. I discovered that having flowing conversations that invite exploration, processing, understanding, and growth has been impactful. Providing a safe and trusting space to be our authentic self, is an important part of the therapeutic environment and alliance. My goal is to provide effective and evidence-based practice to support clients in their mental and emotional health, and to support them in their journey of becoming better versions of themselves.

Is your mind spinning with worries and endless "to-do" lists? Are you critical of yourself and never quite feel good enough? If you have lost touch with who you really are or what you really want out of life, counseling can help you find yourself. If you are someone who usually takes care of everyone else, let me help you start taking care of yourself as well. My clients are regular, everyday women, couples and families who struggle with life's overwhelming issues: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self esteem, perfectionism, difficulty being assertive, past trauma, insecurities, people pleasing and life transitions.

I love this quote from Dr. Louis Tinnin and Dr. Linda Gantt, Co-founders of the Instinctual Trauma Response Method, "Of all the mental health issues, the ones related to trauma are the most treatable." I hold this same belief and enjoy working with adults, couples, and first responders who are experiencing symptoms of traumatic stress (anxiety, depression, communication difficulties, uncomfortable body sensations, etc.) Traumatic stress is an injury that can be healed and effective therapy does not require you to relive past experiences.

As we maneuver through life towards our best selves, experiencing challenges, pain, & negative emotions are inevitable. I believe that we should not allow obstacles and feelings to stop our growth & hinder our journeys. Are you currently going through transition in your life & having difficulty adjusting? Are you struggling to get through your day because you are sad, doubtful, & overwhelmed? Are you confused, frustrated, & tired of trying to figure out relationships & your place in the world? I understand the complexities of life can be difficult to manage, but you do not have to manage them alone.

Its hard to be a teenager. Often my clients have a desire to better understand themselves and how experiences in their past inform who they are now.

I will work with you to process the emotions and beliefs that accompany relationship issues, identity exploration, emotional challenges, or past trauma, so you can move towards a life of fullness and connection with self and others.
