“Before you assist others, put your oxygen mask on first." Prioritizing your wellness is essential. Perhaps you feel pulled in a million directions or you have suffered a loss. Perhaps you are stuck in an unhealthy relationship or you constantly compare yourself to others. Breaking unhealthy cycles of thought can be life-changing.

I believe everyone has the capacity for growth and self-actualization. We are the best experts on ourselves and have tremendous capacity for change. However, sometimes we don't know how to put that potential to use. Sometimes, anxiety, trauma or low self-esteem can keep us from coping with circumstances or trusting our abilities. We feel trapped, overwhelmed or helpless. But it doesn't have to stay this way. Therapy can provide the support to feel accepted and the confidence to start facing your biggest challenges.

I work primarily with children, teenagers, and young adults (college students) who struggle with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, developmental disorders (such as Autism), ADHD, PTSD, OCD, eating disorders, and general stress due to life transitions. I have experience working with victims of abuse, and with foster children. I also work with parents who are struggling with their children due to significant behavior or emotional difficulties. I have worked in several settings including psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment facilities, schools, community mental health, and in private practice.

Hello. I am a therapist in private practice with over 20 yrs experience in a variety of settings. I have a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology, am licensed as an LMFT, and certified as an alcohol and drug counselor. Essentially, this work is about Resilience and Joy. With those qualities in mind, therapy in my practice usually includes some skill building in the areas of mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), self soothing, and assertive communication. With CBT we gain insight into the nature of mind and emotions, and become more able to manage them rather than being controlled by them.

When faced with relationships, family, employment, or personal emotional difficulties, it is hard to know who to trust. Family, friends, and co-workers might have well intended advice, but it is not what you really needed to feel better. You need a safe place to heal from past trauma, ongoing mental illness with someone who truly listens and is knowledgeable. The idea of therapy can be scary for some, but with the right provider, you can feel more confident, self-compassionate, and able to cope with those challenges in life.

Sometimes life gets difficult and reaching out for help can be even more difficult. This is especially true when we may be experiencing the effects of disability. My philosophy as a counselor is help you navigate these challenging times and help you reach your full potential emotionally, mentally, or socially. I believe focusing on the individuals strengths that they already posses will help facilitate change. As well as conceptualizing and addressing struggles in a wholistic lens allows for deeper understanding of what may be occurring.

I approach counseling from a strengths-based lens, incorporating elements from acceptance and commitment therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, and narrative therapy. I seek to empower clients by aiding them in identifying their strengths and values, learning new tools, and taking actions to create the life they envision. I aim to co-create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel supported. I hope clients gain self-compassion and hope as they carry these skills outside our sessions.

As a mother, grandmother, teacher and former family and divorce mediator, I am sensitive to finding the right words to soothe, comfort and connect with others so that each person feels heard, understood and valued. In therapy I will help you recognize, accept, investigate and nurture your feelings. From this connected place your interactions with others will reflect your heart instead of your threatened brain. My approach is based on the science of neurobiology, the wisdom of Buddhist philosophy, a dose of humor, and the warmth we generate together.
