I care...Let me help. We will create a safe, non-judgmental space from which to begin the process of healing. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families who have challenges in substance abuse, anxiety, depression, borderline personality issues and relationship problems. I also enjoy working with the LGBT community, specifically with Transgender people and their families. My rich life experience (fancy language for I'm older) allows me to truly align with partners and families that have members who are transgender and to be an ally with transgender individuals as they transition.

Welcome, if you have found yourself here, it means you are thinking about making some changes in your life. Making the decision to begin a journey of self discovery can be scary to say the least. May I share some of my thoughts with you. I believe in the, "Law of Correspondence", which states that what is going on in our outer world is nothing more than a reflection of what is going on in our inner world. As within, so without, as above, so below. It would be my honor, and privilege to help you discover your best self.

As your therapist, I know the relationship between us matters the most for the work we do together. You want presence, connection, a real human- that's what I provide! I show up for couples who are looking to build more confidence in their ability to talk about the "hard things", become masters at handling conflict, & see each other with more grace, humor and positivity. I work with individuals who want to feel less anxious socially and relationally, and learn to express their thoughts and feelings with self-assurance, make decision out of care instead of fear, and have compassion for themselves, even when they make a misstep.

I truly believe we all have the resources within us to grow and heal. However, there are times we become "stuck" in life and overcome with fear or other factors. I am passionate in working with children and adults in helping them recognize deeper/underlying issues or past traumatic experiences that can impair a person's function each day in various ways. I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, and complex trauma (Ie physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, DV, life adjustments, grief/loss). I am trained in EMDR, a research-based treatment that facilitates the brain's own capacity to heal.

Fear and anxiety often lead to feelings of vulnerability and inadequacy, prompting a desire to withdraw. It can be easy to lose touch with the voice that reminds us of our strength and resilience. During periods of anxiety or depression, we may experience deep self-doubt and feel trapped in a cycle of negative emotions. However, healing and liberation are possible when we explore and embrace our self-awareness, core values, and cultural identities. Achieving this requires intention and vulnerability to access a deeper understanding of ourselves.

Are you experiencing a very challenging time in your life? Does it feel like you can't see your way back to you? Is it hard to recognize who you are from the way you feel? I can be there for you when it seems like the darkest, most difficult time in life. Many of my clients have told me that I am mothering and nurturing as a therapist. I approach therapy from a caring and compassionate perspective, more so after I became a mother of three children. Together we can use DBT techniques to help you reconnect with the things that are important to you and help you get back to being the person you want to be with the life you want to live.

Anxiety often stems from existential concerns and the search for meaning in our lives. This is especially true for high achievers, who may outwardly appear successful but internally struggle with feelings of emptiness and disconnection. In the ebb and flow of life, anxiety can emerge as a persistent companion, affecting our mental and physical well-being. Anxiety is a complex state of mind and being that impacts us all, regardless of background or achievements. While it's natural to feel anxious in certain situations, like before a presentation or during times of change, persistent anxiety can significantly disrupt our daily lives.
