Finding a therapist that is right for you can be overwhelming. My goal is to make the process of getting started as easy as possible. Life can be challenging. We all have unique struggles, and that is why I value a therapeutic strategy and plan that is individualized for each client. I want to help clients build skills they can utilize everyday. I am passionate about helping clients improve their quality of life to make everyday a little easier.

Currently available for short term counseling only. Finding the time to work on ourselves can seem overwhelming. Seeking help can be anxiety provoking. But when we take the time to sift through the pain, improve our relationships and overall health, then our quality of life can improve. We can also learn how to better manage the difficult times that come. Life isn't always pleasant, but you don't have to go through it alone.

Few open spots. I believe that every individual is capable of cultivating change through commitment, effort, and vulnerability. During the therapeutic process I empower clients to use their existing strengths. My specialty areas include the following: marital/couples, men's issues, adjustment disorders, ODD/ADHD, anxiety spectrum, substance abuse/addictions, pre-teen challenges, trauma, and grief/loss.

I am passionate about helping individuals and couples through challenging times. I would love to walk with you on your journey and will meet you where you’re at in a safe and judgment-free space. I offer therapy that is open to individuals of all beliefs and backgrounds. My focus is on evidence-based and holistic approaches that don't incorporate religious elements, ensuring a comfortable and inclusive space for everyone.

Life experiences impact how we see, perceive, and interact with the world around us. When these experiences are traumatic or even just difficult in nature, sometimes it helps to seek out someone who can help you discover the tools needed to mend or create new paths back into healthy relationships. Play is the language of children. In my daily work with children and their families, I find that play often builds bridges where words fall short.

***I AM NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME***On my refrigerator between photos of pets, graduates and vacations is a magnet that says, "what people need is a good listening to." This quote speaks to much of what I value in a counseling process; empathy, connectedness, mindful observation. I have 30 plus years as a therapist. Through my own professional journey I have acquired certain skills and nurtured an intuition for particular types of client experiences: For those finding their way through substance addiction and for those bound by a lifestyle of anxiety, self limitation or shame.

I work well with people who find that patterns in their lives are leading to emotional distress or pain. Together we'll work toward understanding, self-knowledge, and growth. My aim is to help people enrich their relationships and live a life consistent with their values. In working through depression, anxiety, trauma, spiritual issues, relational issues, grief and loss, identity issues, or a multitude of other issues, I strive to demonstrate respect and understanding for each person's unique experience, while also using my training and experience to challenge problematic patterns and foster growth.

We all experience hardship at times and there is no reason to carry it alone. Sometimes all we need is someone to provide a safe space for us to sit and share our burdens. Whether it's working through trauma or life stressors, managing anxiety, or battling depression I want to come along side you and support you in your journey to healing.

You are here because you are heartbroken. You have had yet another experience of betrayal in your relationship. You feel hurt and so very alone. You have questions with very little answers. Heart break has a devastating and de-stabilizing effect whether you've been through it once or over and over again. What makes the heart break? When the people who were supposed to love and care most about you, use your vulnerabilities against you. When the person who you thought loved you turns their back on you when you need them most. When you've tried to connect so many times only to be rejected.

Creating meaning and finding clarity in life – especially during times of emotional distress – can lead to greater knowledge and understanding of self. Insight through the counseling process and the therapeutic relationship oftentimes reveals relational patterns that have been established throughout the lifetime. This awareness can lead to deepened relationships that nurture our deepest desires for connection and intimacy.

I work collaboratively with individuals with OCD, anxiety, phobias, tic, and BFRBs. I provide ethical and evidence-based services by immersing myself in continuing education and training led by up-to-date research in order to provide focused care for individuals with issues in these specific areas. It takes a great deal of bravery to walk into a therapist's office -and- research says working with a therapist is essential in successfully addressing these diagnoses. My role is to honor that bravery with care, acceptance, and options toward the changes you want to see.

Feeling overwhelmed and TIRED every day. Coping skills are nonexistent or are not working. Day to day activities are exhausting, or at least the way you are doing them makes it feel that way. Between job and/or school responsibilities and home/family responsibilities it all seems to be too much. You want to be able to prioritize, complete things and feel productive. Time to get out of surviving and start thriving.

Is it sometimes a struggle to feel understood by others in your life? Are you seeking insight into your emotions, thoughts, identity(ies), the way your lived experiences shape you individually and in relationship to others? I will work collaboratively with you to create a space where you can feel seen as you share your stories and ways of being. If we are successful in creating this space together, YOUR space, it is my hope that it can become a place of curiosity and creativity for you to develop insights into your own contentment, self-worth, and healing.

I have witnessed that major change, crisis, loss, or prolonged stress can throw an individual or family off-kilter, adversely affecting entire worlds and contributing to depression, anxiety, and family conflict. Seeking treatment may improve one's self-awareness, self-esteem, and interpersonal relationships. I specialize in helping people understand, process, and develop ways of managing grief and loss; marital or relationship issues; family and work crises; trauma and abuse; illness; and end-of-life concerns. The goal of this practice is to support emotional, psychological, and spiritual growth and wellbeing in a safe environment.

All of us find ourselves struggling at times with the complexities of relationships and the challenges that come with living life! We reach the place of needing to understand why we feel and behave the ways we do, so that we can accept what is, and have clarity in how to make life better going forward. Self-knowledge and acceptance are the starting points for change and growth. I am available to walk with you and facilitate your personal journey.

Do you struggle with the lasting marks that trauma has had on your relationships, self worth, and ability to function in your roles now? Do you often feel overwhelmed and exhausted by battling your own inner critics and feeling safe with others? You may often find that you feel frustrated at yourself because you "know" you should be doing things differently, but can't seem to change those behaviors? Trauma can make these logical and seemingly "easy" tasks, not so manageable. Whether you are dealing with complex childhood trauma, acute trauma, or a recent life stressor - you have found the right place for healing and happiness.
