Life’s transitions sometimes feel like roadblocks, but you don’t have to face them alone. I work with adult individuals and couples to address the challenges that can arise—whether it’s managing anxiety, overcoming depression, improving relationships, navigating parenting, or healing from past trauma. My approach involves a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to bolster coping skills and replace negative thought patterns with healthier ones and psychodynamic techniques for deeper exploration. This blend allows us to unearth the roots of persistent issues and guide you toward lasting change,

Being a woman today can mean living with a lot of insecurity and anxiety. You want to appear successful and put together, but deep down you are struggling to figure out who you are, cope with the chaos in your life, and work through a difficult past. The pressures of everyday life fill you with constant overwhelm, relationships feel distant and stressful, and your energy reserves have been depleted. You can hold it together and make it through the day, but by the time you get home you are exhausted. Cooking, dinner, socialization, and parenting seem like impossible tasks.

Whatever you’re going through, there are solutions and hope for a happier life. I believe that you or your child can discover the root of your struggles and are capable of overcoming hardships.

It is my passion and privilege to assist my clients in feeling alive, connected and at peace in their relationships and within themselves. Every day I hear clients say that our work has truly transformed their lives - that they are no longer triggered by old patterns, that their confidence and happiness is greater than they have ever experienced. Changes such as these are possible through a collaborative exploration of past and present issues in an atmosphere of safety, compassion and respect - respect for the individual and respect for the mind's ability to heal.

Is sharing your life with a stranger comfortable for you? It's not easy for anyone and yet from my own experience and from the testimony of others (clients/friends/family), therapy has proven to be a positive life-changing experience that I would want for you. I count it a privilege to be invited into your life and heart and I wouldn't take that lightly. My goals are to make therapy a "safe place" by welcoming you with empathy, validation, affirmation, assistance and tender care (the way we all want to be treated). Maybe you're suffering from trauma or loss or hurt or...please give me an opportunity to work with you to make your life a new and safe place. I also offer faith-based counseling.
