Reaching out for the first time and/or starting with a new therapist can be hard and even scary. Today you are one step closer to a new you where you can function better in your day-to-day life, feel empowered, manage stress, heal from traumas, and improve your relationships with others. As your therapist, it is my goal to provide a safe, judgment free, supportive space where we can work together to identify and address what is causing your emotional pain, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, academic/work distress, adjustment concerns, trauma, and/or grief.

When people look at you, it looks like you have it all, but life feels painful. You are successful, driven, and dependable. You have worked so hard to create the life of your dreams, but it feels like life is falling apart. Your marriage maybe falling apart or your important relationships strained. Something has to change because living this way is not working. You have tried to follow the rules and do everything by the book. You have tried to keep everyone happy. Yet, it all feels lost. You can’t go on like this. This is not what you want for your life. You are at the end of your rope, and it’s time for a change.

While navigating through life we are often presented with struggles and challenges that may be difficult to resolve on our own and require guidance and support from someone to successfully push through these challenges with positive outcomes. As a therapist, this is where I come in; I intend to provide individuals (families and couples) a safe haven to explore and work through any area(s) of your life in which you desire to change and/or improve. It is of great importance to me that the client/therapist relationship is established upon openness, candid, with active communication on behalf of both, the client and the therapist.

I am a mature, older woman with a lifetime of experience that I draw on in my practice. I am an empathic, respectful, and careful listener. I also am a very active collaborator in the therapeutic process, sharing my insights when I think they will be helpful. I work eclectically, utilizing approaches to therapy that are trauma-informed, integrative, and experiential. I am trained in many different modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR).

I enjoy working with adolescents and adults (both individuals and couples), helping them find relief from depression, anxiety, grief, life-stage transitions, as well as family and intimate relationship problems. I like helping my clients figure out how to reduce the impact of anxiety, stress, or depression on their lives and take steps to safeguard their mental health. It is a privilege to watch my clients grow and heal, investing in themselves as they work toward overcoming their environmental, psychological challenges and other problems that hold them back from leading more peaceful and fulfilling lives.

I value having an authentic connection in therapy. I think a good fit in the relationship between client and therapist is an important foundation. My goal is to understand precisely what clients want to work on and help them reach their goals. I am actively involved in the dialogue of the session and like to provide validation, education, and options for responding to problems.

“It is often the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting change.” I believe that therapy is a mutual process between the client and the therapist. In your day-to-day life it may be difficult to find someone who truly listens closely and non-judgementaly to what you are saying. You may experience a buildup of emotions and stress that takes a toll on your health and prevents you from being your best self. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is build on trust and respect.

Everyone's life is a journey and their path is their own, yet is not meant to be endured or navigated alone. I take a collaborative and compassionate approach to work with distressing experiences and being a fellow traveler as people find the resources within to help them sustain and enhance wellness.

I would like the opportunity to join with you while you are facing challenging times, so you can have more of the life you want with less emotional discomfort and distress. I will provide a safe, nonjudgmental professional relationship. I will carefully listen, provide knowledgeable feedback, and collaboratively work with you toward your desired goal or goals. I have many years of therapy experience. I primarily work with individuals and some couples.

Offering telehealth and in office services. I have worked with children, adults, couples and families from various backgrounds for over twenty years. I believe in helping people overcome obstacles that are holding them back from being happy, healthy and living their best lives. Everyone faces difficult times in their lives and could benefit from working through those hard times in therapy. Although therapy can be difficult, I believe that building a trusting relationship between therapist and client is key in making it successful and fostering change.
