Welcome! As we all know, life's emotional challenges can interfere with our ability to maintain a productive and fulfilling life. In my more than 25 years working as a licensed mental health professional in both inpatient and outpatient settings, I have worked with adolescents and adults struggling with many different issues including depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, overwhelming stress and managing the struggles that can come with the myriad of changes that are inevitable throughout our lives (college stress, job pressures, grief and loss, etc.).

Psychotherapy is a co-created experience between the therapist and client. For over 20 years I have had the honor of working with people who feel stuck in their lives, whether it be their jobs, their relationships, or perhaps in some part of their identity. By bringing non-judgmental curiosity to our work together, it is my goal to create a safe and welcoming space within which we can explore the patterns of behavior that may not be serving their purpose anymore. I enjoy working with teens and adults, providing them with support to be their most authentic selves.

Pursuing therapy represents a desire to heal. Whether dealing with a new challenge or an old wound, my work with clients is focused on supporting the process of healing and learning to "let go" of the harmful patterns that get in the way of feeling satisfaction, peace, and fulfillment in our lives and relationships. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to create an environment in which you can pause, reflect, and feel supported in acknowledging the emotions that many of us learn to avoid, dismiss, and push down.

My theoretical approach stems from a radical social justice paradigm with the incorporation of liberation-based healing practices, expressive arts therapy, feminist, and relational-cultural theory. I work with both individuals and couples, offering a supportive space for personal and relational growth.

If you're seeking homework, worksheets, a quick fix, or an "expert" who has all the answers without truly listening to your story, you’re not in the right place. But if you want to be seen, heard, and validated in a way that allows you to deeply accept and understand yourself, keep reading! You don’t need someone to simply provide answers; you need someone who can witness your pain, acknowledge when things are challenging, and support you until it gets better.

There are many paths to healing. My role as a therapist is to determine the approach that will work best for each client and to create the space for healing to occur. I understand the importance of balancing and integrating the emotional self, the thinking self and the physical self and have tools to intervene in each of these dimensions. I believe that for many, a root cause of suffering lies within the context of intimate relationships and that healing primary relationships can create healing within the self.

In our work together we will explore your thoughts, feelings & actions in a curious, compassionate and sometimes even playful manner. Together we will discover ways for you to understand yourself better, maximize your strengths & make positive changes in your life.

I work with both individuals and couples, helping people to heal from the effects of former or current destructive relationships, restore their sense of trust in themselves, and help them to experience more safety, connection and satisfaction in their lives. Even in the most painful of relationship dynamics (whether with yourself, a partner, a family member, professional relationship, etc.), there is a seed of opportunity for change for the better. Only one person has to shift in order for the entire dynamic to change.

Profile is up to date as of 6/27/24. I believe that people's emotional health is based upon a variety of factors including their biological make-up, the environment, relationships, and events from their upbringing. People develop beliefs to make their way in the world, and apply these beliefs as they function in their present day to day lives. Problems may result when beliefs that were once useful no longer make sense. Through therapy, it is my job to help people bring these beliefs into consciousness, so that they may then be modified to better fit the present.

I am accepting previous clients. You are accepted! Messages from our culture teach us that we do not quite measure up. We live in a sea of self doubt while life stress creeps in as the norm.

As a counselor, I join you to find your sense of self and purpose and help unburden what weighs you down. "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." Angelou
