I am here because I have been there. I want to pay what I have learned forward to you. I believe that educational experience, when coupled with life experience, breeds empathy without judgment. I needed more than anything to ensure all my pain was not in vain. So, I have over nine years of education in psychology and counseling, specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, stress, ADHD, and Alcohol and Drug Counseling. I will make sure we build a rapport with one another. I will listen actively to what you have to say.

I help new-ish parents and new-ish adults get unstuck from a life of disconnection. Maybe you feel guilty for wanting more. Don't you already have the job, the partner, maybe kids? Even still, the edges are starting to fray and you don't feel connected to yourself and others in the ways you want. The self-help books, podcasts, and the mindfulness apps kind of helped, but there is still something missing. Maybe you've tried therapy before, but it didn't go deep enough. That might have left you with a feeling that maybe you were right, and you are just too much.

So many of us struggle with low self-esteem and feelings of powerlessness over our lives. These can affect the quality of our relationships, communication, work-life balance, stress, physical problems, the feeling of being understood, the ability to heal from trauma, and a sense of living up to our values. If you are feeling frustrated or lost from experiencing the same problems with no relief, I can help. I believe that feeling more empowered and confident in your personal life is the key to developing mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual freedom.

There's this lingering sense of negativity, self-doubt, and not being good enough. Stress is accumulating and the demands you're facing are outweighing your resources. Your drive to reach goals, connect with others, and enjoy life is declining. You notice that same cycle of perfectionism, anxiety, and shame repeating itself, causing you to feel trapped, overwhelmed, and powerless. It's not just affecting your mind. It's also taking a toll on your body and your relationships. Avoid the burnout. Make a choice to make a change.

I have been in practice for 20 years. I do not "fit" my clients into a particular therapy. I use what treatment helps each of my clients. The therapy sessions belong to my clients, not to me. My clients know themselves better than I or anyone else wil know them. My "job" is to help my clients learn to help themselves and apply what they have gained in therapy to the rest of their lives.

Life is a journey of time and distance, meant, not only to move us along from one place to another, but to paint the picture and tell the story of who we are, how we feel, and how we positively influence the world around us. Like so many journeys, there are times we feel lost, tumbling in murky waters, wandering in a dark forest, or forgotten in some unlit cave. Who am I? Why “all of this?” Where is my relief? My sanctuary? How do I survive, much less thrive? Sometimes we need to take a look back at the things that have happened to us and what our part in this was in order to understand how we arrived at where we are.

Choosing a therapist is a difficult process. In the time when you may feel most vulnerable, you are inviting a complete stranger in to discuss very personal information. I believe safety and non-judgment are among the most important aspects of the therapeutic environment. I create a place for clients to ventilate emotions and build coping skills that make daily life more meaningful. Even though it may be difficult to initiate the process of therapy, having someone assist you in making sense of internal confusion can result in insight and clarity that is often very difficult to achieve alone.
