Counseling others has been my passion for the past 25 years. My joy and fulfillment comes from helping others increase the quality of their life. I am drawn to helping those who suffer with depression and anxiety, low self esteem, and symptoms of trauma and abuse. I believe everyone deserves to live a healthy and meaningful life no matter what mistakes they have made in the past. I also believe that it is in the worst situations that we discover our strengths and abilities.

My primary focus in counseling is to meet people where they are, help them identify where they want to be, and enable them to accomplish their goals. I believe change is possible. I have witnessed my clients overcome and move forward after facing what seemed like insurmountable odds. Does it take work? Yes! But, is it worth it to become the individual (couple or parent) you want to be? Definitely!

My strengths as a counselor include my ability to be authentic, share warmth, cultivate wisdom, and build connections. My therapeutic lens is person centered, existential, and behavioral; I can speak with insight and clarity to your essential questions about who you have been, who you are, and what you should do. I seek to partner with you in a process of discovery and productive therapeutic work. I find that sometimes the most important counseling goals emerge as sessions get underway and trust and rapport are built. The most important goals may be surprising and even liberating.

NOT accepting new clients until 9/24. I seek to make my office a place of refuge, where you can be seen and heard without judgement. It brings me great joy to walk alongside people in their journey towards healing. I desire for my clients to get to a place where nothing is hindering their ability to live, play, and love well. EMDR is one of my favorite modalities to use in counseling. I believe it offers a different approach than traditional talk therapy that can help you get "unstuck" from negative thoughts or beliefs. If you are interested in EMDR I'd love to schedule a consultation to see if it would be a good fit for you.

Few feelings are more frustrating than finding yourself stuck in the same painful place you swore you'd never be in again. Depression, anger, anxiety, fear, and resentment can trap you, along with the habit of putting others' well-being before your own, returning to unhealthy relationships, engaging in self-destructive behaviors, or turning to substances that only worsen your struggles. These patterns can leave you feeling ashamed, overwhelmed, and hopeless.

I believe in helping individuals discover their own strengths and truths about themselves in order to address any issues they are experiencing. Everyone has a desire to be loved and accepted as well as a need to discover their own purpose in life. This discovery often promotes motivation and goal setting to assist with growing deeper within oneself and relationally with others. I love to see clients set goals and then work to achieve them. There is such a feeling of accomplishment for a person when they finally carry out what they have been working towards.

I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of practice settings over the past 20 years. My primary area of interest and training is working with children under the age of 10 dealing with issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, autism, developmental delay, divorce, grief, medical issues, behavioral problems, and more. I believe children have limitless potential for growth and they have an innate capacity for resiliency. I also believe that parents and primary caregivers play a critical role in a child's recovery and a joint approach to working with children is essential to healing.

How do therapists treat sexual abuse?
A good therapist will be nonjudgmental and possibly demonstrate active listening, repeating back what the client says to show that they have understood. These skills allow people to feel comfortable discussing their traumatic experiences openly. Some important treatment goals are to restore a sense of safety and to rebuild confidence. In addition to working one-on-one with the patient, a therapist might bring in supportive family members to assist the client.
Do you have to talk extensively about sexual abuse in therapy?
Survivors frequently find it difficult to describe what happened to them out loud. They can even still be in a state of denial if the sexual abuse occurred recently. It is important for survivors to acknowledge that what happened isn’t their fault and to challenge and reappraise any unhealthy feelings or thoughts as they arise. Art therapy and play therapy are useful non-verbal means of communication for some survivors.
How long does treatment for sexual abuse take?
Recovery from sexual abuse can be a long and difficult process. Some survivors are able to move on naturally on their own, given time, while others require the guidance of a trained therapist. Therapy needs vary and can range from a few sessions to months or even years. Healing from sexual abuse takes time, and everyone’s journey will look a little different.
Can trauma symptoms caused by sexual abuse come back after treatment?
As occurs in many cases of trauma, survivors of sexual abuse may experience PTSD-like symptoms long after the abuse has ceased or after an initial round of treatment has occurred. In such a case, there is evidence that prolonged exposure therapy is a useful treatment for survivors, and may be more efficacious than supportive counseling alone. While triggers may continue to cause distress, the idea is that, with time and repeated exposure, their power will fade, allowing survivors to move on with their lives.
