Emotions are our rudder leading us through the seas of life, both stormy and calm. They are not something to be afraid of, ashamed of, or to run away from. When connected with and channeled in a healthy way, emotions are adaptive and effective guides for transformation and healing. We can sink or we can use the healing power of emotions to authentically navigate through our life journey. Whether this is your first time in therapy or you have past experience, whether you're looking for yourself or for couple's support - your needs, pain and joys deserve to be heard in an empathic, accepting and safe setting.

Welcome! With 25 years of psychotherapy experience, I am committed to helping you fully step into your one precious life. Whether you are navigating anxiety or depression, the menopausal transition, parenting, aging, death and dying considerations, or perhaps you long for a more vibrant and meaningful life - I am available to guide you into deeper joy and meaning. By supporting you to embody your most authentic and spontaneous self, this naturally results in greater aliveness and vitality; an increased self esteem; a taming of the mind by releasing unhelpful thought patterns; and greater courage, joy and self-knowledge.

I have availability in office or via video. I work with people who have trouble with relationships, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, rage fits, struggle with addiction/alcohol, have gone through trauma, and grew up in unhealthy homes. People who at times wish they could escape life and need support to remember how to smile, or sometimes learn how to smile (for real) for the first time. If someone uses legal and/or illegal substances and wants to quit or not, I support your decision. If you want to ease your anxiety, anger, and/or sadness and want to feel happy, I believe you deserve that! :)

At my counseling practice, every client can expect a strength-based approach that encourages client-centered collaboration with a combination of their input & insight, as well as guidance from me. My goal is to support my clients who face challenges in many areas that may cause stress in their everyday lives such as anxiety, depression/mood disorders, and trauma. Through cognitive-behavioral and behavior modification therapy, I would like to help them reach their goals and improve on their own strengths. My work is focused on helping clients face and overcome emotional challenges and reduce overall stress in their lives.

Life is a maze of ups and downs, we are taught to push away the downs and "keep moving" without acknowledging our true feelings and needs. Before you know it, fear, anxiety, trauma, depression, self doubt begin to take over and guide our decision making process. Your truth, who you are, and what you want starts to get lost, life becomes exhausting, unsatisfying and lonely. How might it feel to safely explore and validate your emotions and needs? Deepen your understanding of who you are and how you function through exposure to thoughts, feelings and behaviors that take over and create dysfunction in your life.

Hi there. I don't know what brings you here, but I can listen to your story and do my best to help you through it. Maybe something happened recently and you're just trying to get back to normal, or maybe you've had a mental illness your whole life...either way, if you're looking for someone who will listen, provide support, and help guide you towards insight and acceptance, we may be a good fit. I work well with people who are motivated to try new things and keep an open mind, who are willing to speak about themselves and their experiences honestly.
