Currently accepting new clients for appt times Tue-Fri BEFORE 3pm. I take a person-centered approach to all sessions with the focus being on what you want to see change and what is most important to you. I view my job as helping you to discover the strength that you already have inside of you. We find that strength together and then you learn how to use it every day to overcome life's obstacles. I believe that I am your support along this journey, but you are the guide and you ultimately have to be ready to make your own life better.

Reclaim your life! Are you tired of feeling trapped in a cycle of worry and fear? Anxiety can manifest in various forms, disrupting your relationships, hindering your career, and robbing you of the joy in everyday moments. It's more than just a fleeting worry; it's a persistent, heavy burden that holds you back from living your life to the fullest. Regain peace of mind, calm, and focus. I also specialize in recovery from narcissistic abuse and eating disorders as well as relationship/family issues.

I currently work with only adults and couples. I work with clients who need to work on symptoms such as anxiety, depression, agoraphobia, academic problems, anger management, bereavement and grief issues, communication problems with family members and partners, self-esteem, separation and divorce, sleep disturbance, work stress, and much more. I use Cognitive behavioral therapy, systems approach, relaxation, and guided imagery. I also provide assertiveness training. I also use Clinical Hypnosis for weight loss, smoke cessation, nail biting, and other behavioral changes. I also do Christian counseling with focus on spirituality.

Accepting New Intakes Now! I believe that life is built on our relationships with each other and to ourselves. The relationship to ourselves is the one we often forget about. Life has a funny way of reminding us that we are not perfect and many things are out of our control. This can cause us to become afraid, angry, irritable, depressed, overbearing, rebellious, tearful.....But, then what? It is often the case that we like to avoid difficult feelings and hope that they will go away on their own. Sometimes they do...and sometimes they don't.

Asking for help is a sign of strength. From time to time everyone feels the need to call upon their strengths to face and overcome demanding situations and to cope and adjust to life's circumstances, both past and present. Gaining a better understanding of yourself and using that understanding to make both immediate and lasting changes can help this process. New knowledge and skills can come from a strong therapeutic alliance. Objective, non judgemental, and caring support promotes the ability to succeed. Life can be easier and more fulfilling than it is now.

I work with individuals through all stages of adulthood, who are dealing with a variety of emotional or mental health issues. Some of these include anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic health issues, self esteem and confidence issues, and relationship problems. I enjoy helping my clients through the process of setting their goals for therapy, and helping them work toward them, leading to greater life satisfaction. I also work with individuals who have a history of being abused or devalued by others, whether in childhood, adulthood, or continuing into the present day.

Embarking on a journey to further explore, learn, making personal changes can be filled with an array of emotions. The wide range of the emotional world is a natural part of living. Adaptive coping, is something any adult or child may at some point may need support with. I believe clients experiences and responses to sessions are important; as is our building a genuine therapeutic relationship. Therapy with me is a journey taken together.

We go to the doctor when something feels "off" in our body so why don't we go see someone when something feels "off" in our minds? I believe everyone should be able to have a safe place to talk, to process, to understands one's own thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and overall one's self.

Very few openings for new clients. Please note I don’t have any availability after 2pm at this time.

“I can’t do this anymore.” “I can’t call (insert friend’s name) because they have enough on their plate.” “I feel so alone.” “This black cloud just keeps getting bigger.” “Why am I so upset?

Sometimes, we just need someone to help sort it all out.
