Being human is a wondrous and challenging endeavor. Most of us walk around each day feeling inadequate, lost, anxious or depressed. And yet something inside us yearns for more. It takes tremendous courage to slow down and listen to this voice. To turn towards the painful feelings and try to understand them. I believe that with the right support, the hard stuff is actually the gateway to a life that is more purposeful, meaningful, integrated and peace-filled. In my office I create a warm and engaging space for clients to build self-awareness, heal old wounds and reflect on patterns that may not be helping them.

Prioritizing my clients' goals is key. When life becomes challenging, we can experience feelings like despair, hopelessness, anxiety, and uncertainty. Many of these emotions can bring up a sense of fear and a lack of direction. These emotions often leave people asking, "Will I ever feel whole or better again?" The answer is, YES, you can, and YES, you will! Therapy can help you navigate through difficult times and transitions with excellent results. My work with clients has a focus on building resilience and self-compassion.

Do you struggle with obsessive thoughts or debilitating phobias? Is your experience of life obscured by anxiety and depression? Is past trauma preventing you from being free in the present moment? Any of these issues can be beyond overwhelming. You may have tried to deal with them on your own only to find nothing changed. But you no longer have to do this alone.

With over 20 years of experience in the counseling profession, including a career as a counselor educator, my approach in working with clients is person-centered, humanistic, and eclectic. Each client is an individual with unique needs and concerns. Through the therapeutic alliance and building professional therapist-client rapport, the client will formulate goals to guide the counseling experience. Various counseling approaches and techniques may be utilized to meet the client's specific needs and goals. Cognitive-behavioral therapy, existentialism, and motivational interviewing are also of particular importance in my practice.

Working with others and assisting them in their own successes has always been my passion. I feel that my personality allows me to engage with you genuinely, and much of my training is in trauma-informed care, strength based, and cognitive behavioral approaches. My listening skills and patient demeanor allow me to build a rapport with clients in a natural and organic manner.

Feel like something is holding you back from your potential and goals or like you aren't able to access your true self? Are you craving connection, meaning and deepening? Life stressors or transitions may feel overwhelming, or you may be feeling stagnant/stuck and unable to attain goals. Life situations and circumstances that challenge you are often the most rewarding and formative; yet adapting and managing your thoughts, feelings and behaviors in collaboration with a seasoned therapist can often make the process more manageable and the outcomes more productive and in alignment with your values.
