I understand & respect the courage it takes to come to counseling. My work as a counselor for 27 years is devoted to aiding clients make healthy choices for change, develop & enhance relationships, increase personal effectiveness & develop abilities to create happiness. Doing this involves planning, sharing, laughing & learning to adapt to new ways of thinking and being.

There is great value in exploring, identifying & challenging our thoughts which drive feelings and behaviors.

I enjoy working with those who have struggled with life situations that have caused them to lose confidence and need encouragement and an affirming voice to help them find peace and joy once again. There is always hope and the promise of a new day, and I look forward to being able to assist them in discovering that promise. I approach counseling from a broad perspective of non-judgmental, solution-focused strategies that respect the humanity of everyone who comes seeking a better tomorrow. Always remember, "You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."- Winnie The Pooh

As your therapist, I will meet you where you are, and come along side you to help you identify and reach your goals.

I believe that everyone can use some extra support in life sometimes. Whether that is due to a current life situation in which you might need someone to listen to you and/or provide some extra support and guidance or you are struggling with past experiences. I also understand how difficult it can be to reach out and start the process of counseling and to find someone that you feel you can connect with. My goal is to help you feel supported and heard during these times while helping you navigate through changes, self esteem concerns, trauma, anxiety, depression and whatever else you may need. I hope together we can reach your goals.

I've been teaching in the K-12 public system for 23 years, which gives me a unique perspective when addressing concerns around behaviors and mental health for families as well as teachers/administrators.

This work is powerful for couples and individuals dealing with high stress, high conflict, infidelity, parenting, infertility, loss and all the emotional symptoms that come from these experiences such as depression, anxiety and loss of self.
My approach is to view problems or issues from a systemic perspective. That means I am curious about our key relationships past and present, the roles we play, the rules we follow, and where our identity and value systems come from. My passion is to make sense of the ways our internal experiences (relationship with self) and our external experiences (relationships with others) collide and inform one another. I strive to help people develop wholeness of self through unpacking anything that is keeping them stuck.

Are you a stressed out parent? Hate your job? Maybe you are having conflict in a relationship. Struggling with life's challenges can leave us with anxiety, depression, and feeling like we are drifting through our lives on autopilot, disconnected and alone. Sometimes we need to get back to ourselves, sometimes we need a change. If this sounds familiar, or you are struggling in some other way, I can help.

Parenting Therapists
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
