Everyone experiences times of uncertainty, which can block us from leading our most fulfilling life, full of self-love/acceptance and dynamic relationships. Uncertainty can lead to overwhelm, anxiety, depression and frustration. When we get to a 'stuck' place the last thing we may want to do is reach out for help, but this is when help is most needed, and can open us up to hopefulness and receiving compassion, understanding, acceptance, and peace. 'Stuck' places come in various forms, have roots that need to be uncovered and healed. By reaching out for help solutions are achievable.

Feeling stuck? Like you're not in the place you should be in your life right now? I understand that feeling completely and I'm here to help.

When we learn to acknowledge and accept our feelings we can begin to move through them and find meaning and joy in our lives again. We can put down the shame, guilt, and burden we feel and find our true purpose again. I'm here to walk along side you on your journey toward self-growth and healing.

I enjoy working with clients who are seeking to reclaim their authentic selves. I strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment as clients seek to transform the "stuck" imprint of the past.

My holistic orientation may include traditional talk therapy, mindfulness, experiential and somatic therapies and spirituality.

When life is challenging, we all need support, understanding, respect, and compassion. As humans, we benefit greatly by connecting with a support system so we understand we are not alone on this journey. Psychotherapy is our chance to connect to that support in a safe environment where we can explore, learn and grow. We are not always prepared to cope with the challenges that confront us. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), my role is to walk the path with you and begin to develop the skills needed to move through the unexpected challenges of life and heal the past. I work with diverse population and welcome all.

I provide strength based counseling for children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families dealing with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, women's issues, parenting challenges, stress management, medical health issues, life transitions, grief counseling, and relationship problems.

Relationships are vital for survival and necessary for growth. Often, however, people experience disconnections from others, which can be a major source of suffering. Although we deeply desire and need emotional connections, many people are reasonably apprehensive about the risks involved in intimacy. As a result, one may keep parts of themselves hidden or silenced. This serves an important protective function, which must be honored and understood with compassionate curiosity. Therapy can offer a safe space to relinquish unproductive patterns and consider new, more balanced and flexible ways of relating.

For 22 years I have been helping people solve challenges in life and to find the power and abilities that have been inside them all along. I work with people who face challenges in life as well as those who simply seek ongoing growth and joy in their lives. Let's collaborate to find solutions and to help you develop the skills to improve your quality of life and create lasting change in your relationships with yourself and others. My goal is to create a collaborative relationship with you to help you uncover your authentic self. My style is caring, direct, and often humorous.
