I have been working as a clinical mental health therapist for more than 20 years. I have a specialty degree in Child and Adolescent Counseling and enjoy working with adults as well. I believe in building positive coping skills, resiliency, and a positive outlook on life by having clients be an active part of their treatment. Using behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, and play therapy techniques (for children) are some of the ways I can help clients achieve their goals. For my adult clients, I help identify areas where change has been difficult. From there we build confidence and reachable goals to make positive behavioral changes.

I specialize in individual and couples therapy working with adolescents and adults. Offering unique and healthy cognitive alternatives. I perform traditional talk therapy, but often supplement that with creative art modalities. I also do mindfulness meditation, imagery and yoga. I specialize in disordered eating, substance use, women's issues, self-esteem building, depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting issues, grief and loss, and life transitions.

Welcome! I am a licensed counselor that's been in private practice for 7 years. I've been supporting people who struggle with anxiety, depression, and stress due to life transitions, identity, parenting and/or relationship concerns. The human experience is complicated - I see myself as someone who is here to provide emotional support and guidance so that life gets a little easier.

I believe everybody has strengths and talents as well as a place to fit in among this world as well as a purpose. However, at times we all need help to find our strength as life challenges get in the way and we get stuck. “What is some wisdom you have gained through your experiences?” is a question I will ask you when you choose to work with me. We will explore this question together, building on your experiences, and you will learn to identify ways to use this wisdom and strength in the future.

Do you find yourself feeling fearful, anxious, or hopeless about your future? Do you feel stagnant? Do you feel stressed, burned out, or unsure about where to go next in your career or relationship? I provide a safe space for adults (21+) to identify their concerns and create a course of action to work through them. I provide clients with tools to establish balance, peace and healing in their life journey.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families from diverse populations and backgrounds.I have experience with treating people on the ASD in addition to the specialty areas listed elsewhere on this site. I have had extensive training in trauma recovery, whether it is dealing with a single episode or of a chronic and repetitive nature. I also work with Complex PTSD, including dissociative disorders. Too, I like working with people that may need some guidance with problems of daily living or a particular life shift or developmental issue. I also provide supervision for therapists seeking to bolster skills in trauma recovery.

Are you in a relationship where there is a lot of arguing or a lot of cold silence? Do you feel alone even though you are married? Or are you single and curious about why your past relationships have failed? Are you wondering how to build a healthy close relationship? If you have answered yes to several of these questions, research demonstrates that seeking the appropriate type of relationship counseling may benefit you greatly. I am an IMAGO relationship therapist with over 35 years experience and can help you restore feelings of love and closeness so that you can build the " relationship of your dreams".

Everyone is capable of healing and finding happiness, no matter the life stage. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, or self-esteem issues. These impact your life on many levels. If you want to focus and get back on track, you will need fresh thinking, and positive support. I can help you create and use tools to improve your ability to cope with your relationships, everyday life, and big decisions.

Creative exploration leads to inspired healing. As a dedicated mental health professional, I provide healing through counseling and art therapy services for all people regardless of age, sex, race, religion, or national origin. It is my charge to provide a safe and healing space in which my clients can explore their mental and emotional well-being, establish, and work through their goals. Utilizing counseling, art therapy, and other goal specific activities and techniques. I assist children and adults with behavior modification, social skill development, and conflict resolution in both individual and group settings.

I am here to support your most loving, vivid, relational and authentic self; and to help bring care to the ways and places your wholeness is or becomes blocked. I also specialize in supporting couples to drop beneath old narratives and into real feelings, where connection and meaningful change can occur. People reach out to me to support a variety of needs and longings, which I deeply appreciate. I notice that the clients who find our time particularly valuable are those who are seeking deeper connections with themselves, others and the world. Our work together steps beyond diagnosis, into vast possibility.

Over the last 42 years I've learned that what people want most is to be heard. But, more than that, they want someone to understand the feelings behind the words, and to feel safe in that process. That's when their inner voice gets clearer. With clarity, learning new strategies or making decisions about life or relationships is easier. When you know what you're doing, you can choose to do what you really want!

I have found that people tend to seek therapy when they are experiencing some kind of stressful situation in their life. You may have found that you keep repeating bad patterns or that you feel stuck in your relationships or your job and you don't know what to do to get unstuck. We all need to find someone we can feel safe sharing our deepest concerns with and we want to feel understood. Whether the work is brief, or more long-term, I am passionate about helping you to develop behavior changes that will lead to healing and eventually to you fulfilling your potential.

I believe that therapy can be for everyone. Personal growth is a life long journey and therapy can help people realistically asses themselves and the manner in which they perceive, interact, and act within their world. I am here to help people achieve a change that promotes balance, growth, understanding and to become a “Master of their actions, not a prisoner of their reactions”. I also believe humor can be used as an integral tool in the therapy experience. It often illuminates the many strange and challenging predicaments that we all face at times.

Life is complicated, stressful, frustrating, and unpredictable. Do you ever feel the pressures of life getting you down? If your goal is to break down the barriers that are holding you back, we can work together to break it down and build it back the way you want it built. I have experience working with individuals with depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. The value of therapy is so you don’t have to go on this journey on your own. With guidance and understanding, you can make sense of the world around you.

Our lives are a system made up of family, friends, biases, and life experiences. If one part of the system has fractured, the entire system functions incorrectly. As someone who didn't believe therapy could help me, I struggled with a spiral of bad decisions before seeking therapy as a last-ditch effort to "fix" myself. I'm thankful that I found therapy when I did - it saved my life, prevented years of heartache, and gave me purpose and direction. I want to work with you to create the best possible life for yourself. You deserve a life filled with healthy people, boundaries, and genuine joy. Let's find it together.

As far as most people know, your life seems to be "fine" and on track. You tend to not share with your family & friends how you are truly feeling - stuck, lonely, unsure of yourself, or what path to take. You are trying to manage these feelings along with work/school, a relationship, family/friends, and all the things you "should" be doing; which is just adding more to your already full plate. Your needs and time for yourself are often put on the back burner. You are seeking a change in your life and you are not quite sure where to start or if therapy will help you, but are willing to try anything.
