Therapy comes in many different flavors. So, it is important to find a therapist that has training and experience in addressing your goals, that can relate to you, and that you feel good about working with. I work with individuals seeking to let go of behavior that no longer serve them, those who are seeking greater self-awareness and the root cause of any pain or distress they are experiencing, and are motivated to learn and implement skills to improve their lives. Through collaboration, I offer an unbiased perspective, curiosity, and accountability. Change is the only constant and everyday is an opportunity to embrace it!

Life can and will throw many different things at us. These things can present in the form of stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, loss and anger. Everyday events can mentally put us in a place where we feel vulnerable. I want to help my clients not just cope but learn to move forward and grow strength. As individuals we each have our own unique perspective on the world, using colored lenses to define/understand the things unfolding in front of us. I want to work with you on focusing your lenses on the way you view yourself & your world. Together we can identify how your experiences have give you both positive & negative coloring.

Compassion is a basic human need that often goes unfulfilled. When we don’t get it from others, it’s no wonder we are our own toughest critic. We refer to ourselves in harsh terms we would likely not use with friends and family. We feel stuck, alone, hopeless. Reaching out for help is hard, but continuing the emotional suffering is even harder. My clients have described me as approachable, compassionate, & non-judgmental. My goal is to help you explore & process unhealthy patterns of thinking and behavior while learning new healthy ways to regulate your emotions, communicate with others, & to stand firm in your decision-making.

We humans are wired for contact and connection. Yet sometimes we don't know how to develop the needed connections; relationship building and managing one’s life effectively can thus be both terrifying and exhilarating . Lack of healthy support and resultant traumas leave us depressed, anxious, isolated, or insecure, leading to addictions, obsessions and compulsions, poor communication, relationship difficulties, or general dis-ease in one’s life. Yet healing is possible, and finding a therapist with whom you resonate is crucial.

I work primarily with Autistic and other neurodivergent folx who may feel less-than, not good enough, inherently wrong, etc.. I believe in using therapy as a means to help people find the tools within themselves to move toward positive mental health and overall wellness. I believe in support over solution; in walking with someone to face their unique issues however they need rather than “fixing” them. As a social worker, I consider the “whole person” and the systems impacting them to offer a positive therapeutic experience to every client and help them to feel seen, heard, and supported.

I have been successfully treating clients in therapy for over twenty years. The clients I work with prior to enrolling in treatment express that they feel frustrated, ignored and helpless. I provide individual, couple, and family telehealth therapy. I have treated clients who have experienced physical, emotional, and sexual trauma. I also treat clients with anxiety, anger, communication, depression, and men's issues. My clients see significant improvement and develop tools and skills over time in treatment. I'm very proactive in my person centered approach.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, direct, and unconditionally caring. I utilize a person-centered approach incorporating trauma-informed principles and a harm-reduction lens. I seek to foster brave spaces for deep transformation to take place, where laughter and tears are welcomed to flow freely. Some therapeutic modalities that I incorporate include polyvagal theory, EMDR, attachment theory, DBT, and somatic-based processing. These theories are guideposts of my clinical judgment, but ultimately I recognize you as the expert of your own lived experience.

I specialize in working with individuals that are wanting to find peace in relationships - both with themselves and with others. After trauma, difficult situations, or toxic relationships, it is easy to shut down and experience loss of purpose, spiritual questioning, isolation, depression, or anxiety. I work with people like you to heal from your past, learn about yourself, and grow towards your future. I don't know what brought you here but everyone has a story and I would love to help you process yours.

I truly believe that all of us have the tools and potential to face life's challenges, adversities, and pains. Relationship issues, divorce as well as life and professional changes may bring anxiety, stress, and depression. For over 20 years I have been working with individuals, couples, and families. I will create a warm, safe, and confidential environment for you and I will be a passionate listener to your story. Together we will find your own ability to live a better life with yourself and with others. I am trained to use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to treat trauma and difficult issues.

Being. Belonging. Becoming. Are you having trouble with people or situations in your life? Has your life become unrecognizable? Does it feel like you are in a rut, and nothing is changing? As the days go by, do you find yourself wondering if there is more to life? I can help you rediscover yourself and claim your life once again. Call and set up an consultation and get working on the life that you want. Take charge and create the future you have dreamed of!

Starting therapy can be hard and you are brave to be here taking this first step. I’m passionate about helping clients and families accept themselves and each other. My goal is to create a safe space that allows you to meet yourself exactly where you are and shift the way that you or your child interacts with the world. I have experience supporting clients with anxiety, adoption/attachment needs, depression, grief/loss, mood disorders, parenting support, relationship issues, and trauma. As an EMDR trained therapist together we can process feelings, memories, and trauma that may be too difficult to manage alone.

After 30 years of clinical experience with individuals and couples, I believe the process of psychotherapy strengthens relationships with the self and others, enhancing both insight and opportunities for growth. I bring an open mind, respect and practicality to the therapeutic relationship. I am currently offering treatment using teletherapy and in-person sessions. I am an out of network provider but am committed to helping you to receive reimbursement by your insurance and to adjusting the fee if necessary.

My services include working with individual, couples, family counseling with adults, and adolescents. I am LGBTQ+ affirming. My training is in the areas of anxiety and depressive disorders, relationship issues, trauma issues, women’s issues (infertility and postpartum), and developmental transitions. I use a therapeutic approach that reflects eclectic influences derived from my training in cognitive-behavioral, EMDR, person-centered, and family systems. I view problems as generally being developmental in nature, and approach each person, couple, or family in a unique fashion.

Life can be a wild ride and finding your way through it can feel like an overwhelming task. However, you don't have to navigate this path alone. I believe that many of our challenges stem from normal reactions to unusual circumstances. My goal is to assist you in delving deeper into your understanding of yourself, your life, and your relationships, ultimately guiding you towards acceptance rather than struggle. Together, we will pinpoint the values you wish to nurture, compassionately confront any obstacles, and utilize creative techniques to help you craft a life that is both genuine and purposeful.
