I work from the belief that people hold within themselves the ability to change. Often our greatest change comes at times of transition. Transitions -- be they of community, health, age, gender identity, or relationship origin -- present a need for careful decision-making and support. When confronted with hard challenges, many of us need someone simply to assist us in looking at our lives, recognizing our strengths and supports around us, and developing strategies to bring about the change we desire.

Have you found yourself in the space of feeling hopeless, anxious, or helpless after having a baby? Do you often experience thoughts that are uncomfortable or are not a reflection of who you know yourself to be? Are you on a journey to bring life into this world and struggling with feeling hopeless? Are you playing the blame game? Have you experienced the loss of a pregnancy? If you have experienced any of these and notice they are affecting your relationships with others. I want to provide a safe space for you as you maneuver through stressors such as pregnancy loss, infertility, birthing plans, and the perinatal/postpartum period.

I am a seasoned therapist who will meet you right where you are with compassion and acceptance. Whatever you may be struggling with, I will work collaboratively with you to help you find hope and healing. My goal is to create a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel fully seen, fully understood, and supported as you do the sometimes difficult work that leads to personal growth and healing.

Are you an adult seeking individual therapy and interested in utilizing a compassionate and contemplative approach in relating to your life in order to reduce stress, anxiety or depression? Are you seeking support for trauma, grief or loss? Are you wanting to cultivate balance during life challenges & find freedom from limiting beliefs? Whether coming to therapy to enhance your current level of wellbeing and happiness, or to address challenges in your life, you can find greater freedom to be the person you would love to be and create the life you would love to live.

Whether you are struggling with a life change (life-limiting diagnosis, divorce, a new phase of life), a loss (death, a relationship, job, sense of your own independence), feeling stuck (life isn't moving in the direction you had hoped, you want to feel different but just don't know where to start), or you are in pain (physical or emotional), I can be a non-biased sounding board and guide. I like to meet my clients "right where they are" and help you with tools to move in the direction you wish to be. I'm easy to talk to, not afraid to talk about hard things, and mix in my own "humanness" with a dose of humor in our sessions.

All change comes from deepening your understanding of self. Life is a journey to find out who you are and to find true inner peace. For one to truly be able to understand self and make changes you have to go deep within to understand your thought patterns and how you perceive the world. My job is to help you on this journey. You are traveling and with guidance along the way you will find the necessary tools to lead you to emotional, mental, and spiritual growth and well-being. Let's start this journey together.

I believe in peoples' ability to heal and grow after difficult experiences. I also believe in being on the client's side, listening supportively, and telling the truth in a helpful way. I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in helping adults recover from traumas of all kinds. Whether you are struggling with the aftermath of a trauma, a divorce, or another difficult experience, or if you are having difficulty coping in your present circumstances, I can help.

Do you feel overwhelmed? Are you searching for solutions, clarity, and peace within yourself, family, or situation? My goal is to work with individuals and/or families to increase clarity and to help gain insight into ways to solve problems in order to improve normal daily functioning. Parents, are you having problems with an oppositional, angry, moody, or sad child and looking for ways to help?

Nobody is immune to life problems and the toll they can take on our mental health. With more than 10 years experience, I provide professional and confidential mental health counseling services to diverse persons. I do not discriminate based on ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation or personal identification and believe that through connection and compassion we can resolve any problem together. Our problems and past experiences do not define us and our future is not yet written. Help is available and you are not alone. Let's work towards building your life the way it was always meant to be: authentic, fulfilling and empowered.

You’re likely here because things aren’t going well and you’re stuck. That’s OK! This is a normal experience everybody faces – I've been there too, it’s part of being human. Hear this: there is no problem you’re facing that can’t be made better in some way. I work with adults and teens get past these sticking points, supporting people experiencing addiction, suicidal ideation, mood issues, life changes, and relationship problems - people who want to find true purpose and meaning regardless of what's happened to them or what’s happening inside of them.

I have extensive training and experience working with children, adolescents and adults. My background has allowed me to work with a diverse range of needs, but traumatic stress is my primary focus. When working with children, I implement a child-centered and family-focused approach to help the child heal but also to support caregivers and to help the family grow closer together through the healing process. I also enjoy working with couples who want to learn together and grow closer. I am affirmative of LGBTQ and cultural minority clients. I fully embrace the opportunity to contribute towards societal change that is long overdue.

I am here to meet you wherever you are and be that extra support you need to achieve your goals. I'm here to provide an open and judgment free place for people. My ideal client is anyone who is ready to make a change in their life.

For many years my clients have primarily been individuals, groups, and families coming out of abusive and sometimes violent relationships and addiction. Although that was the original primary focus, most of them also struggled with other accompanying factors like depression, anxiety and other serious mental health diagnoses. My clinical focus has recently shifted to more of a community-based population. I have found this work incredibly rewarding. I enjoy working with additional needs such as grief, prenatal, postpartum depression, and abandonment trauma to name a few.

I work well with clients who are struggling with issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and myriad other struggles. I have considerable experience working with teens and adolescents, but I am eager to work with individuals of all ages. Clients I work with are typically looking for peace, confidence, and an overall feeling of wholeness and wellbeing.

I deeply value supporting you through your own unique healing process. I work primarily with adults experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or distress associated with trauma or accumulated life events.
