I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) whose Individual practice is dedicated to Pet Loss Grief Counseling & Caregiver Support. Grieving the loss of an animal companion can be especially lonely in our culture. Our grief may not be recognized by those around us; our relationship not understood. I provide a safe place for you to grieve: to share uncomfortable thoughts, feelings and difficult care-giving decisions, to share photos & stories. If you are feeling the harshness of a world seeming not to notice your profound loss, together we can explore ways for you to honor your beloved & find meaningful connections.

Life is tough, precious, challenging, and full of possibilities. Yet, too often we find ourselves in survival mode just managing the overwhelming moments. Problem is, this pulls us further away from how we want to feel and be in the world. Whether that looks like depression, anxiety, substance use, traumatic reactions, self-harm, family conflict, or something a bit different- I am here to help. In therapy, we can change the way you relate to your suffering, finding relief and more space for the fun stuff. We will work to understand your thoughts, befriend your feelings, and shift behaviors so you can find a calmer state of being.

I have been a child & adolescent therapist for 49yrs., & I enjoy my work greatly. I also work with parents who want advice and guidance about parenting skills. Children can change much faster than adults, and that is why I love working with young people. I try to support their strengths, encourage their creativity, relate to them with warmth and humor. I also work with parents with children, and with parents with teens if teens want me to. I like the challenge of connecting with both children and teens, ages 4 to 20. Connecting requires intuition and open-heartedness.

I specialize in treating anxiety disorders (generalized, social, panic, phobias, OCD). Anxiety is adaptive, but it can become draining and interfere with enjoyable, meaningful, or necessary activities. Over the past 8 years, I have helped clients experience relief from this type of anxiety and resume activities they value. I also have expertise in working with autistic individuals (e.g., to reduce anxiety and improve mood, social skills, and relationships) and their parents. In addition, I enjoy providing family therapy to help families navigate transitions, improve communication, and experience closer connections.

I provide support and guidance to those who struggle with emotional distress leading to difficulties identifying and managing emotions. This can be the result of untreated anxieties, low self-esteem resulting in body image issues and challenges around food. If you have experienced a significant decline in your quality of life and want to set goals, process and heal from your traumas, I have found that providing a stable and consistent therapeutic relationship is at the foundation of that healing.

Thank you for visiting my page! I work with individuals of all ages who are struggling with anxiety, phobias, obsessions and compulsions, or posttraumatic symptoms. Guided by a client’s individual circumstances, I integrate a variety of therapeutic techniques, though I am particularly drawn to exposure therapy. Exposure therapy gives people struggling with anxiety the opportunity to learn that they can cope with distress by gradually facing uncomfortable situations in a planned, deliberate way. I enjoy the collaboration between therapist and client while planning and conducting exposure activities.

It takes great courage to reach out to a therapist. It is my hope to meet you in your courage and earn your trust as we build a safe, strong, and productive connection together. Therapy is often about restoring and healing connections with oneself and others. To that end, I serve individuals, groups, couples, and families across the life span with a focus on individual and couples therapy. My experience working in outpatient clinics, schools, hospitals, outpatient primary care settings, and with public safety departments, gives me a unique perspective to draw from.
