I have 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families in various settings. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is paramount for growth and change, and you will know within the first session whether I am the right therapist for you. Over the years, I have developed ways of addressing the past while focusing on the present day, and I have training and experience working with clients from childhood to adulthood. Confidentiality is assured.

I specialize in depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, relationship issues, self-esteem, peer relationships, anger management, codependency, coping skills, eating disorders, grief, women’s issues, children, family conflict, gender identity, gender dysphoria, and military families. My belief is that therapy should be a positive experience of growth for each individual and I encourage clients to collaborate with me as treatment progresses.

Hi, I appreciate you taking the time and considering me to be part of your journey. Finding the right therapist can feel like an overwhelming task.

What would you be like if optimism replaced fear? If you were able to view struggles as opportunities for growth? How might this affect the way you see yourself? Could it lead to a decrease in your anxiety or better your mood? We all perceive our lives in story lines. Their plots are created by life experiences, relationships, and societal norms. Sometimes it is these very stories, authored by us, that can make us feel stuck. Imagine experiencing freedom from worry about the thoughts or judgments of others.

If you are reading this you have already taken the first step on a courageous journey & I am proud of you. NO, you are not "too broken", "too damaged", "too f***ed up." Up until this point you have done the best you could with what you knew to do. It's time to stop punishing yourself for how you survived. If you need someone to believe in you & make you feel less alone in the world, you have found the right person. If you find yourself asking "what do I do now?" regarding healing, I am happy to help you find the way. It's never too late for you to make your future look completely different than your past. You are not unworthy.

In spite of your best efforts, life can sometimes overwhelm you. Whether problems are recent or longstanding, I can help. My 27 years in the profession has afforded me knowledge and experience with a broad range of issues. My practice emphasizes the resolution to everyday problems. We will explore obstacles to growth and development and uncover inner strengths that can be applied to personal and professional relationships. I value psychotherapy as a growth- producing process. Out of this you will learn a great deal about yourself which you can use to make your life more meaningful.

I believe that happens when you start to recognize your unhealthy behaviors and seek to find new ways of living. Meeting with a counselor can provide a place to find healing and develop healthy coping skills. Your environment plays an important role in that process. Counseling can offer a safe place to begin your journey towards new growth.

I believe in providing a supportive and accepting environment to allow you to feel comfortable sharing your life story. There are many obstacles that will be confronted in one’s life, but I believe the paradigms with which we view these from can be transformative in how they impact our life. I will assist you to identify your strengths, coping skills, and reflect on patterns, to help you grow further in your journey for wellness.

Taking this initial step to find a therapist that you feel will be a good match for you can sometimes feel a bit scary and overwhelming. I remember how "outside of my comfort zone" I felt when I first started this healing journey myself. I would love to help you feel less overwhelmed and like you are giving stress, anxiety, and emotional pain less of your energy. My passion is to help you learn how to feel confident in your own skin, and create a meaningful life that makes you excited to wake up in the morning. It is not as out of reach as you may feel it is right now. Baby steps in the right direction is still progress!
