If you are what you eat, (or what you invest in), how are your relationships? I can help you work to bring your marriage back into balance and help you go from pain to peace. Is your marriage and/or family is "okay" but you'd like it to be stellar, let's talk.

I specialize in working with individuals who are navigating and trying to understand their challenges and relationship to Trauma, Autism, ADHD, anxiety, self esteem issues, or, not uncommonly, a combination of the listed. I also enjoy working with a large range of individuals, as I believe each person holds so much value with their unique experience. I also work within other ranges such as inner child work, spirituality, LGBTQIA+, life transitions, attachment styles, childhood trauma, and mindfulness.

Hi there! I am passionate about the mental wellness of women. There are many spaces we inhabit as woman and various experiences that are unique to us, such as with the perinatal period, the transition into motherhood, and woman specific mental health disorders. I also work with areas like life transitions and adjustment, anxiety and mood disorders, loss and grief, and trauma.

As we all continue to navigate life's transitions and changes, we eventually find ourselves needing guidance and support along the way. Whether you or someone you know is currently thriving or struggling in life, deciding to seek therapy can often be a helpful, rewarding, and life-changing experience. Finding and choosing a therapist, however, could be challenging and overwhelming. Not only must practical matters be considered, such as fees and scheduling, so must the therapist's style, approach, and qualifications. In other words, it has to be a "good fit" and it must "feel right."

My clients are motivated to live life to their fullest potential, and I feel privileged to support them in exploring the life struggles that are inhibiting their positive growth and teach them the coping skills that can help them progress to the best of their ability. I offer compassionate professional counseling to individuals utilizing an eclectic approach which draws on multiple theoretical orientations and techniques which are personally tailored to each client.

Laughter & Genuine. Two words that describe me… As I say “I am who I am” or others might say “down to earth.” Whether you're navigating relationship issues, anxiety, depression, facing career crossroads, or seeking to improve your mental well-being, my goal is to create an easy and genuine space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. Similar to a psychologist, a mental health counselor is trained in theory and practice of mental health disorders, treatments and interventions.

Not Accepting New Clients At This Time - Do you feel like you're doing "everything right" yet you still feel like something is "off"? Somehow you feel both anxious and depressed at the same time yet you can't pinpoint why? Or maybe you can pinpoint why - you just received an unwanted diagnosis, a loved one passed away, you're dealing with past trauma, going through a divorce, or trying to adjust from living at home to living in a dorm. Maybe in an effort to cope, you've turned to alcohol, food or some other escape. But you're tired of just surviving and you're ready to start thriving.

Whether life is going well or you are struggling to feel well, therapy could be a helpful and powerful tool in moving forward. Finding the right therapist, however, could be overwhelming. With investments of energy, time, and money, it is important to select a therapist with whom you feel comfortable—someone that "gets" you and in whom you have trust and confidence. I enjoy helping adults understand their barriers and strengths to help them meet their goals in the various aspects of their lives, such as relationships, work, school, and health.

My counseling and coaching philosophy is based on the New Positive Psychology that focuses on your essential strengths and Positive Possibilities. I help you move out of feeling stuck. I help you break old patterns, behaviors, and thinking that hold you back from the life you want. Studies from the field of brain science show there may be alternatives to the medical approach for depression and anxiety. My approach is based on this scientific research. I help you develop the skills and strategies of healthy thinking and lifestyle known to help alleviate feelings of depression, anxiety, and worry.

It seems we often desire a sense of secure connection while also living in line with our authentic self. My therapeutic style is integrative and relational based, emphasizing mind-body work and self-compassion. My clients might experience: addiction, panic, worry, codependency, perfectionism, depression, impulsivity, interpersonal conflict, avoidance, attachment wounds, people pleasing, shame, trauma, loneliness, trouble relaxing, life adjustments, limiting core beliefs, mood swings. Client needs/goals might include: attunement, decreasing stress, learning to ground mindfully, building insight, coping and communication skills.

Everything from our greatest fears, our burdened souls, or the weathering of the ages can seem to drain us of any joy that we possess. Perhaps, you are here now because you’ve felt, or are feeling, like this is you. Still, within all of us, we have the ability to heal and grow into individuals that can regain our stability, brave our distresses, and prosper in our endeavors. When we tap into this potential, we can strive to better understand where we are now, what thoughts, emotions, or behaviors might be limiting our wellbeing, and how we can become the individuals we wish to be.

I help couples, families and individuals get through troubled times, tackle new and old problems and develop realistic and sustainable ways of living.

I truly believe the key of success within therapy is to create a safe space by building rapport and trust. My style is to provide an empathetic listening ear in a non-judgmental space. The most insightful thing that I have learned as a social worker is that every person is the expert on their own life and as a therapist I am here to walk alongside that person and offer guidance, life skills and an alternate non-biased point of view. My approach is to provide quality care by being genuinely curious, empathic and using a strength-based approach.
