Now more than ever, we need a safe space where we can be truly seen, supported, and empowered. As your therapist, I am honored to help create this space and to work together on the lasting changes you want to make. I bring over 17 years of counseling experience and I enjoy working with people in many stages of life, from children (ages 6+) to adults. I also work with couples who are looking for help with relationship issues. I take a holistic approach, so I draw on a wide variety of tools, including: internal family systems, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and somatic work.

The world in which we live can be a frustrating, disheartening, and difficult landscape to navigate. Having a seasoned and skilled guide can make the difference between distress and sustainable growth with a renewed capacity for joy. I have a deep understanding of the human condition and the dynamic challenges present in the world. I have an innate ability to sit with people at varying stages as they process through complex life challenges. I help clients to confront deeply engrained thoughts and feelings and tailor my therapeutic approach to significantly reduce the distress clients are experiencing.

My clients tend to be experiencing stress and want to find connections between past experiences, patterns of response, strong emotions and current life circumstances. Life transitions can feel overwhelming and loss can become a catalyst for change. This is often the beginning of an opportunity to gain greater understanding of our selves and the meaning we make in our lives.

I enjoy working with clients that are motivated for change. We address the need for action behind the intention for change. I have 30 years of experience in counseling adults and teenagers challenged with depression, anxiety, grief and loss. I am trained in Trauma therapy with a Certification in EMDR therapy. Recently, trained in EMDR 2.0. I work with individuals that struggle with past experiences that shape negative beliefs about themselves and through EMDR therapy they can shift to a positive belief about themselves to have a better quality of life.

It is wonderful that you decided to begin the process of finding a therapist. I think that it is vital that you find someone that is a good fit for you. It is important to create an environment that is free of judgment so that you can feel safe expressing yourself. The way we form our identity is complex, many roles play a factor including our environment, family history, current relationships, and lifestyle. Through the journey of life, events both positive and painful help to mold us. The path of healing and exploration into yourself can lead to a stronger, happier, healthier you.

During my 30+ years as a licensed clinical social worker in full time practice, I have learned that vulnerability is universal, and also, that people of all ages have internal resilience and enduring growth potential. Unresolved internal issues often get expressed through such symptoms as anxiety, sadness, feelings of low self-esteem and shame, feeling stuck in repeated patterns of behavior, and in unfulfilling relationships. Therapy offers an opportunity to work through and understand, thereby resolving, these difficulties.

When people experience trauma, chronic life stressors, and /or destructive relationship patterns, life can quickly become overwhelming and unmanageable.

The modern world spins so rapidly, and with such intensity, many individuals search for a therapeutic relationship that cultivates a distinctive space for authentic self-reflection. After all, reflecting in isolation is limiting since the only voice we hear is our own, which is often critical. Some individuals come to therapy to reconnect with their nature, others to process a paradoxical state of healing sickness. Some come to rust away their armor, others to unify in the curative presence of relational synchronicity. Ultimately, one comes to therapy by virtue of being a genuine expression of hope, resilience, and self-empowerment.

Sometimes life looks different than we imagined & we need help making sense out of things. We might be feeling disconnected, uncertain, or alone. I aim to help people identify and connect with their inner strengths, community, and essential wisdom and become more aligned with the dreams they hope to achieve. I believe that inner peace is attainable for everyone. I use a humanistic approach to therapy based on individual needs and personality. My style is active engagement, authenticity, and humor to heal when appropriate. I don’t believe in black and white thinking and understand we all have unique journeys and experiences.

As a behaviorist, I believe that the environments in which we develop ultimately play the most significant role in our actions, decisions, and outcomes. Without the proper space for growth, healing, and self-development, one may face difficulties in achieving self-realization and self-actualization. Human-beings are social creatures – genetically designed, behaviorally conditioned, and evolutionarily driven. We possess certain intrinsic, natural needs and adaptations that have developed over millions of years. If these dualistically basic and complex needs remain unfulfilled, we will struggle to attain this self-actualization.
