Choosing to enter into counseling is not an easy decision. My main goals as a therapist are: 1. To provide the client with a safe environment in order to help them feel comfortable expressing themselves. 2. To gather as much information as possible in order to address their unique needs & provide the best counseling. 3. To utilize a variety of approaches and tailor the counseling to each individual to help the client live with more peace & purpose. Being flexible, knowledgeable & open as a therapist is important. I participate in continuing education on a regular basis in order to provide relevant counseling for my clients.

Life can be messy, challenging and difficult at any age. I believe that counseling provides a much-needed break in a hectic week for decompression, self-examination, and consideration of change. My role as your counselor is to provide a safe, welcoming space that invites you to unpack your concerns. I work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that highlights your goals and interests, purposefully integrating mind, body and spirit. In doing so, we create a path which allows you to develop insights, identify potential solutions and ultimately take action to create positive change in your life.

I believe therapy is a mutual process between the client and the therapist. The therapeutic relationship is built on trust and respect. My goal is not to "fix" someone's problems; but to offer my clients the tools to foster growth and change within themselves and their own life through the exploration of techniques, self reflection and various art mediums.

Life isn’t always easy, but you don’t have to do it alone. I believe everyone deserves empathy and support in navigating life’s ups and downs. I started my career as a music therapist, and I believe music (and creativity in general) is an essential part of being human. I enjoy utilizing music in sessions and considering how musical interventions like songwriting, singing, or music listening could be one part of your healing journey. But, if that’s not your style, that is ok! Whether you’re looking for traditional talk therapy, music therapy, or a little of both, my goal is to create the therapeutic experience that works for you.

As we move through life, challenges can either keep us stuck or propel us into new ideas, perceptions, and growth. Counseling and life coaching can help navigate those challenges with a positive, healthy mind set. The healthier our mind set, the healthier our relationships will be with our self and others. Depression, anxiety, trauma, can hold us hostage from living our best life. Eclectic therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and others can help bring awareness and change and lead you to a happier, more fulfilling life.

Since the COVID-19 crisis began, I moved all of my clients to video or telephone calls. I plan on keeping my sessions that way. You may be having trouble in your in your life that you're not sure how to resolve? Anxiety, sadness, feeling lost, or experiencing distance between you and loved ones may be showing up for you. There are many problems that overwhelm us, and take away our confidence, our closeness, and our love for each other. What I do, and have done now for over 38 years is to help people struggling to find their way forward in their lives, resolve anger and upsets, and rediscover your own love for your life again.

I believe that clients are the expert of their life, and have the ability to determine their own solutions to their concerns when in a space that is supportive and understanding. Through therapy, clients can explore both internal and external factors that can then lead to finding solutions for their concerns.
