Life does not discriminate -- it presents all of us with challenges, adversities, and opportunities. Sometimes going through difficult experiences allows us to emerge with a renewed sense of self and a fresh recognition of our inner strengths. But this kind of transformation isn't a given. Sometimes pain is unrelenting and pushes us to find new ways to cope and new avenues for understanding. Seeking help shows your courage and your motivation to find your way...

I view therapy as a collaborative process between patient and therapist used to help facilitate growth and change. I think people are able to find healthy solutions for living when given the opportunity to learn new ways of thinking about and coping with life transitions.

It is an honor and a privilege to walk alongside my clients in the journey of their lives. I strive to provide true healing through support, comfort, containment, and truth. Therapy is client driven and focused on the goals that clients choose. I consider the whole person in my practice. I address emotional, intellectual, and spiritual concerns . Let's begin the healing process today!

It's a good time to let go of patterns that don't work anymore. Maybe you have conflict or pain inside. Whatever the symptoms, you know you're not feeling well emotionally. Maybe you and your partner are not getting along or you may feel embarrassed about what you're going through – these issues are always hard to talk about. I'm here to help you get free of the past, and move into a healthy and happy life with fulfilling and rewarding relationships. I specialize in healing options that are designed to help you deal with emotional pain, relationship issues, family conflicts, lifestyle changes and more.

I believe in the individual's intrinsic potential for healing, and see life challenges as possibilities to grow. When people decide to seek therapy, they normally do it because they are in some kind of pain or struggle. However, they also have some hope, and the drive to heal, which I use throughout the therapy process to help them.

I strongly believe in prevention and early intervention, as well as allowing individuals with past or present emotional challenges to work at their own pace over the long term. I realize sometimes therapy involves some "risk-taking", such as trusting in the therapeutic relationship and facing uncomfortable or unfamiliar parts of oneself. I do my best to provide an open, safe enviroment for individuals to face those issues.

Accepting new patients and most insurances! I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families with adjustment, marriage and family, and mental health issues. I enjoy helping couples make adjustments to marriage, stages of parenting, empty nest, retirement, chronic illnesses, and hospice care. As a Cognitive-Behavioral therapist, I teach patients a variety of coping skills where they learn how to change their thoughts and behaviors in order to change their mood (i.e. depressed, anxious, frustrated, or angry).

You may be experiencing symptoms that are clearly a signal that it's time for positive change in your life and I am here to help you experience that change and growth in your life. I utilize an integrative approach for counseling and relapse prevention. This includes cognitive-behavioral tools, family systems approach, and hypnotherapy as appropriate. If stress, anxiety and/or depression are all too familiar, I can help. I also work with couples who desire to improve their relationships. Where appropriate I can provide video counseling,

We all have the capacity to manage life, however sometimes we may feel like we're going through the motions or struggling to just get by. We may feel conflicted or overwhelmed with feelings of depression, anger, or anxiety. Or we may be having difficulty coping with relationship pressures, life transitions, or a painful loss. I view these moments of conflict as opportunities for change and growth, and therapy as an avenue to increase insight, resolve painful feelings, and learn to change ineffective patterns.

Do you long for more moments of joy and connection with your child? Are you struggling to communicate or understand their behavior? Do you meet other barriers in your important job of parenting? Are you concerned about changes in your child's mood or behavior, but unsure whether therapy could help? There is strength and power in working through these issues with a professional. I can guide you toward meaningful and lasting solutions. I provide warm, compassionate support to children, teens, families, and parents in their journey toward peace and fulfillment. I also work with new and expectant parents to support them in this change.

Everyone feels anxious at times. Anxiety motivates us to prepare for important events and protects us when we are in harm's way. However, anxiety becomes problematic when it is out of proportion to the situation in a way that interferes with daily activities. Though anxiety is very treatable, only about one-third of those suffering from an anxiety disorder receive treatment. With the right type of therapy, the prognosis for anxiety disorders is very good; however, without treatment, anxiety tends to become more debilitating.

Are anxiety, anger, or depression controlling your life? Are old, painful experiences causing you to react in ways that don't feel good or that push people away? Do you find yourself stuffing your emotions until you blow up? I can help you learn to nurture yourself without feeling guilty, find relief from emotional pain, and create healthier relationships with yourself and others. Learn how to stop just surviving and start thriving. Contact me today to get started!

I am not taking new clients at this time. There are lots of different reasons why people seek therapy. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for kids, teens and adults to process different life events. I am a client centered therapist who wants to help you find the best way to navigate your life.

My goal in therapy is to guide others through their struggles, helping them gain insight and providing tools to resolve the challenges they face. It is always my goal to assist my clients toward the achievement of their fullest potential. I have a passion for working with women as they transition through life events; pregnancy, marriage, divorce, career, empty nest.

Are you feeling depressed, unmotivated, worried, or stressed? Are you not living the life you desire. Can't seem to get on track? Do you want to create greater balance in your life and live more fully and freely? I would like to help. I am a clinical psychologist and work with individuals to promote healing, change, and personal growth. I provide guidance through careful listening, compassionate support, and enthusiasm. I consider you an active partner in creating the changes you desire. My treatment approach is genuine, positive, and non-judgmental and works to promote active curiosity, discovery, and growth.

Dealing with the stresses of life and a variety of emotions can seem overwhelming and sometimes lonely.

Humans are relational. This means we are wired to be loved and accepted by those around us. We live among imperfect people, however, so our experience sometimes becomes hurt from unmet needs. The results then become unproductive patterns in our relationships, negative behaviors, a lack of positivity, and a sense of being stuck. For me, the goal of counseling is to heal past hurts and to process how those hurts affect our current choices and relationships. Once we free ourselves from the hurt, anger, guilt and shame of the past, we are open to feel love and to love others.

People sometimes struggle with the idea of going to see a counselor. Often it's difficult to know where to begin. Sometimes finding the right counselor can mean finding new hope, new choices--a new life. My task is to create a protected space so that you'll feel comfortable and safe. I listen carefully, objectively, with kindness and humor and without judgment. I respond with training, intuition, insight, honesty, and engage a variety of techniques to meet your presenting issue. I consider it a privilege that clients are willing to share their lives with me and I honor that trust.
