She offers therapy to clients of any age, as well as to couples and families.

The stress is overwhelming. Anxiety is at an all time high. Life is unpredictable and you don’t know how to cope with work, the kids, their school, and being quarantined. The desire to run from your house and not return has crossed your mind, but you dig deep and tell yourself today will be better. But it isn’t. The anxiety feels like it is going to explode from your chest. It starts settling into depression and you feel like you are walking in a fog. Unable to make decisions, not able to complete tasks, feeling frustrated and annoyed all the time. You just want life to be back to normal and it feels like there is no end in sight.

As one ages, one experiences the "Winds of Change". Some of us experience these changes in our lives one at a time, and others experience a world wind that may take our breath away. As a therapist that concentrates on Holistic remedies, I find that many of us are not able to handle all of the changes that may occur at one time, which may leave us feeling depressed and/or anxious. However, during this state of "change" is it actually depression and/or anxiety... or is it a result of what has or is occurring in our lives?

I have a relational approach that fosters a mix of warmth & acceptance along with clinical clarity and positive outcomes. My focus and understanding is that the "The therapist can only take someone as far as they have been themselves." So I understand the stuck place you are in with your marriage, your personal life, the desperation and hurt, feeling lost and alone and the journey needed for optimal healing/health. I will personally walk with you and your family to care and provide real change that actually lasts! Finally, Our Team approach at Tree of Life is extensive and exemplary...

If you're here, it's because you're seeking a change—a change that you haven't been able to achieve on your own, despite your best efforts. I understand the obstacles you're facing, both external and within your own mind. You may be experiencing pain or a sense of things falling apart. Your life may even seem to have all the necessary components for success, yet there's something missing, something that's preventing you from truly thriving. Regardless of how you got here, the goal of becoming a better version of yourself is absolutely attainable. It's within your reach.

At Open Doors Counseling Center we are passionate about helping individuals, children, teens, couples and families find peace, healing, strength and direction. We understand there are times when life can be painful, stressful, exhausting, and confusing. Our clients often come to us saying, "I feel stuck." "We just don't get along anymore." "We are so worried about our son." "We don't know what else to do." "I just can't seem to follow through on anything." "I am sad/anxious/worried/angry and I just want to feel happy." Life is really hard and sometimes you just need an expert to help you navigate the difficult and painful times.

Have you struggled to feel safe, seen, and heard with a mental health professional? Have you ever felt not good enough despite your achievements? Or felt like you are an imposter—that you are just fooling people? Ever feel tired and unmotivated but unable to turn off your thoughts? Let me help. Healing outcomes for my clients have included: freeing themselves from their inner critic, increasing their self-trust and confidence, increasing their "response-ability" -- ability to feel and respond (not react) to their life, enlarging their capacity to self-nurture, increasing resilience & discovering passion/meaning in their lives.

Taking the steps to begin the journey in self-understanding, behavioral change, relationship management, family reconciliation, or dealing with every day stressors, can at times be quite challenging and unnerving. If you are reading this, I commend you for taking the first steps in healing. Whether you are in need of exploration or skill-building through psychotherapy, or diagnostic clarification or treatment recommendations through psychological testing, I look forward to taking this journey with you.

Right now more than ever we are facing increased stress and trauma as a result of situations beyond our control. Many may feel helpless, scared, or lonely in the face of current events. My goal as a therapist is to meet my clients where they are at no matter what. Whether you're at rock bottom or looking for personal growth and increased well-being I want to work collaboratively with you to establish a plan to address and meet your goals. We will work together to determine the root cause of what you're experiencing and create a clear path to finding what you are looking for.

You are wanting to feel better. Something in your life is not working very well for you at this point, and you would like to figure out how to improve things so you can live a satisfying and fulfilling life (or at least one that doesn't feel so darn hard all the time). Therapy is a great support for you in that process.

We all want a life full of meaning and joy, where we're free to be ourselves and be happy, but a lot of us struggle to have that experience. It can often feel like we're barely hanging on, just trying to make it through the day. We can find that we just can't seem to feel happy/fulfilled, that we can't seem to connect with our partner or others in a meaningful way, and that we feel alone, anxious, and hopeless.

Creating an environment for healing, resilience and growth. Therapy is not just a process that leads to functioning, but flourishing, as you become the person you were born to be. We believe in the power of your dreams!!
