Being able to feel comfortable opening up about the hardest parts of your life is the center-point of therapy. That is why building a strong therapeutic relationship is the primary focus of our work. I believe in a "whole person" approach to any issue that is presented. I am passionate about helping you find the most effective path to a satisfying and fulfilling lifestyle.

I practice from a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming lens, and believe that behavior communicates needs and emotions. I believe in meeting my clients where they are via a strong therapeutic relationship. I use my skills and experience as a strength-based clinician to empower my clients to be their authentic selves and gain confidence in their abilities to be the human and live the life they want to live. I prioritize confidentiality and the client’s agency and input throughout the therapeutic alliance and want my clients to have a sense of control in their therapeutic journey.

Watching a person experience a “light-bulb” moment and realize that their pattern of thinking and/or behavior has been a struggle for them is why I'm most passionate about being a therapist. Clients often come into their first session feeling afraid, full of shame or guilt, and a general sense of being stuck. At times, when life becomes difficult or overwhelming, and we are afraid to reach out, this can feel like we are climbing an up hill battle. With a strong and trusting relationship, a genuinely safe space, and emotional support, recovery and living life to the fullest is not just possible, but also probable.

I believe that recovery is a process which requires active, continuous involvement from the client, the therapist, and the entire treatment team. According to this belief, the four stages of recovery are hope, empowerment, self-responsibility, and establishing a meaningful role in life. The individual most responsible for a successful treatment outcome is you (the client). With your consistent effort and willingness to engage with your therapist the kind of change you are hoping for can and will occur.

Making the decision to go to a counselor/psychotherapist is a true act of courage. I honor you for taking this courageous step. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with all types of addictions ie alcohol,drugs,sex,food,gambling. I view addictions in a broader sense to include self defeating thought patterns, love/relationship addiction, hoarding, internet use, procrastination. Addictions are about avoiding pain and getting trapped in a repetitive cycle of thoughts and behaviors that result in more pain and regret. I provide my clients with a roadmap to follow as they seek to reclaim their self-esteem, integrity and joy.

I specialize in working with women who desire to improve their relationships, cope with anxiety or depression, heal from past trauma, and cultivate healthy life practices. I also have extensive experience working with couples and families. I take a holistic approach, incorporating the mind, body, and spirit. If you are feeling overwhelmed and discouraged, it can make a world of difference to have a space to share your struggles and to feel heard and understood. My role as a therapist is to partner with you to identify your goals and equip you with the skills and insights needed to make meaningful, lasting change.

I believe that everyone has the ability to live a balanced and fulfilling life. Change is inevitable and natural. During challenging times, we seek the path back to our inner wisdom. As a school counselor and teacher for twenty five years, I learned a great deal about how unique our learning and personality styles are. I enjoy helping adults embrace who they are to gain clarity, improve relationships, cope with stress, and regain a sense of well-being.

If you need to re-connect, re-ignite, or even resurrect your marriage, then come see me. Perhaps as an individual, you feel stuck in a certain emotional state such as frustration, anxiety or depression, and you're tired of it. Maybe your not making adjustments to life after a recent loss. Such challenges can lead to isolation, helplessness, and feeling disconnected from those you used to be close to. As humans we co-regulate, meaning we need another person (therapist) to help us sort out our chaos. In the process of "sorting out" and gaining new skill sets ( one's not learned in childhood) a new hope and joy can emerge.
