In my time both in education and in practice, Counseling has always been about doing what is best for the client in every aspect. Our job as professionals has been to help our clients become educated in their issues, learn how to identify the root of the problems, and learn to cope with these issues. I have had the luck not only to learn about counseling theories and techniques to equip me for any and all challenges. I can help with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, substance use, and those suffering from more advance mental Illness such as schizotypical, bipolar etc.

If you're reading this today, you might be finding yourself feeling tired. Tired of people-pleasing, tired of self-doubt, tired of not standing up for yourself. It's exhausting to live your life striving for everyone else's validation. You may be spending lots of time saying "yes" when you really want to say "no" and avoiding conflict like the plague. You might also feel like you've lost your way and that you have no idea how to move forward or make change. But guess what? Your inner wisdom is there. Your intuition and instinct still exist, even if they are buried under years of old, faulty narratives.

Telehealth Provider............Starting therapy is hard & taking that first step to reach out to someone can feel intimidating. I'm here to make that step a little easier. I believe that everyone deserves to have someone in their life who can lend a listening ear. Sometimes it's hard to share our deepest wounds with family & friends...sharing these things in a confidential space with someone who is 100% dedicated to your story & creating safety for you as you process life's toughest moments is essential for healing. In my practice I specialize in anxiety, trauma, & grief.

Accepting New Clients! Whew, Life...I get it. Anxiety, overwhelm, and stress take up more space than you want. Maybe you've just ended a long term relationship and want to navigate the complexities of starting over. People pleasing has been at the forefront of your life and you're ready to set deeper boundaries. You're ready to offer yourself the same self compassion you give others so easily. Or maybe, all you need is to process this whirlwind we call life with someone who isn't your best friend. If that sounds like you, you've come to the perfect place!

A person who comes to see me has been dealing with past and present interpersonal (external, person-to-person) and intra-personal (internal) issues and conflicts and would like to address them through therapeutic relationship and intervention. They want to get help with things they have experienced in their past that are affecting their present-day functioning. They may have found that they are experiencing depressive or anxiety symptoms and don’t know how to cope. They have felt like they are ”at the end of their rope.” Often they have turned to substances and found that those just make things worse.

My practice, for more than thirty years, has focused on helping a broad range of individuals and families in the area. I have stayed deliberately diverse in the populations that I serve, as well as issues addressed. One of the joys of practicing a long time in one place is having long term relationships with families and groups of people through their having referred their loved ones to me, or coming back in when a new life change or crisis occurs.

I work as a partner with clients to sift through the confusion that often comes with stress, depression, anxiety, and trauma. Thinking, feeling, and personal history connect in ways that form unique personal experiences. Through those experiences we form thoughts and use words that may not allow us to live life to our fullest potential. Today is the day you can start to change those words to improve your potential.

I believe in collaboration; in two people coming together to figure out how to live better, more holistic lives. I believe in authenticity and being your true self.

Is your child neurodivergent and having a difficult time adapting to the world around him/her? Does your child become easily overwhelmed, overstimulated, or become frequently dysregulated, leading to emotional outbursts? With such a high demand for children and teenagers in schools and the presence of social media, neurodivergents are more often getting left behind.
