Do you feel depressed, overwhelmed, anxious, or unmotivated? Are you relying on unhealthy means of coping or overindulging? Could there be unresolved trauma in your past?

Together, we will work towards fostering empowerment, self-discovery, improved self-esteem, and the development of effective coping mechanisms.

Many of us have emotions and experiences which chip away at our confidence and the ability to make positive decisions. Those who want to understand those motivations and change them will reach for help. It's not a counselor's job to tell a client what to do. The goal is to help you understand how your experiences affect your emotional health and help you create coping skills to extinguish the negative behaviors which are holding you back. I offer online appointments with HIPAA compliant videoconferencing platforms to protect your privacy.

Life is hard! Whether it's coping with unexpected challenges, parenting, dealing with memories we wish we didn't have, learning about a new diagnosis or condition, or starting a new career or job. All of these things push us out of our comfort zones, and we struggle to deal with them. It is normal to feel like your world is a bit out of control at times and that you're not sure what to do or how to do it.

Therapy is a lot like cutting an onion - it has many layers, and usually makes you cry." What else can I say about therapy that you haven't heard before? So let me tell you about me, which is why you are here - to see if we are a good fit, right? I specialize in impulse disorders such as ADHD, OCD, Autism and PTSD/trauma, which of course all include anxiety and depression. I've worked in every corner of the field from criminal justice to homeless outreach to in-home services. I also love animals (especially my 5 at home), crafting ALL the things, referencing stand-up comedy, and being a proud member of every sci-fi fandom there is.

It is very brave of you and your family to seek a counselor to make the improvements needed for your lives. It is the intention to create a judgement free zone so that, together, we can collaborate and explore any concerns or issues that have been set in front of you. I see counseling as teamwork so we can achieve what you are searching for. With collaboration, we will work towards the goals you have set for yourself or your relationship, or even assist in helping you to set them if you are not sure where to start.

I specialize in working with families, single mothers, pre-marital counseling, (certified as a S.Y.B.M.I.S. (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts) assessor, adolescents issues, and anyone dealing with grief and loss.
