I believe in the value of books and reading; they are powerful aids to mental health, growth and healing. What we read changes not only our thoughts and feelings, but can determine our long-term view of the world as well. Each person has an ongoing personal narrative or story that is shaped by our experiences--but mostly by our view of these experiences. We are our life story, in the sense that it influences our choices, what we value and what we fear in life, etc. The good news is that we can shape and change our life story through awareness, understanding, and compassion.

The journey that brings each of us to counseling is distinct and personal. It may evoke feelings of intimidation, excitement, or anxiety. Yet, it also holds the potential for profound healing. Within the counseling room, a nurturing atmosphere is cultivated, one that encourages self-discovery, healing, and deep introspection. This space is exclusively yours, providing a sanctuary where you can freely express your true self without fear of judgment.

I specialize in working with trauma, grief and loss, and attachment issues. I have experience working with adults, teens, and children who’ve experienced domestic and sexual violence, those struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship issues, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and folks who’ve struggled with addiction. Many of my clients work toward acknowledging and grieving the past so moving forward feels possible. I know counseling can be scary. This is why we move slowly and intentionally, making sure counseling doesn't just feel hard. There are moments of joy and celebration in healing too.

You’re lying in bed next to your partner, but it feels like there’s an unbridgeable gap between you. Lately, it’s as though you’re just roommates. You tolerate each other and have built a functional life together, but something integral is missing. There’s no passion anymore, and the romance has all but disappeared. When you try to discuss these issues, it always seems to devolve into a screaming match. Neither of you is having your needs met. You’ve both become so locked into your family roles that there appears to be no way out. You’re not ready to give up, but you don’t know how much longer you can go on like this. You need help.

Relationships are my cup of tea. At the core of all of our lives are the relationships that we have with those around us. If we are unaware of how we impact others it’s impossible to have good relationships as we are operating out of our learned behavior rather than actively choosing the person we want to show up as. I call this going against our "urges"! When we recognize that we have a choice in who we are it puts us in a power position to make change in our life.

I have experience working with most any client. Working with children younger than 8 tends to be difficult on the virtual platform and tends to be more parent-training than therapy. Our office is flexible and sympathetic to financial concerns. Reach out and let us know how to best support you!

I believe 80% of life is not about what happens to us, but instead is more about how we respond to it. Hence, it is not our problems that need the most help, but instead our solutions to those problems; it’s okay to be afraid. As a Behaviorist, I see "fear" of “something” as what drives our behaviors in life, i.e. fear in life demands control of life using a previously learned response. It is that perceived need for complete control where we tend to lose control of our most basic solutions and the need to respond differently arises; hence, we bring on change, with empathy for our vulnerabilities being at the forefront.
