I strive to help clients develop new ways of thinking so that they can release old patterns and embrace new realities. It is my goal to help them heal their inner experiences so that their life will feel more peaceful, congruent, and empowering. I also aim to help clients find a balance between their mind, body, and soul. I believe in processing the past while also focusing on the present and the strengths a client may carry into the future. I recognize that everyone has a unique and beautiful identity, so my goal so to find an approach that works best with your way of thinking and experience of the world.

I accept most forms of insurance. Are you feeling sad, anxious, overwhelmed, or have you simply found yourself wanting more from your life? People seek therapy for a variety of reasons, and this seeking is often the first brave step toward living into a sense of greater possibility and deeper relationships! I view therapy first and foremost as healing that arises from a conversation. That conversation can be transformative, can take many forms, and is an act of co-creation between you and me. Let's help you create the life you were meant to live!

The best is yet to be! I strive to offer a positive atmosphere for real personal change. Helping people learn to manage and cope with emotions like, fear, frustration, sadness and worry is my specialty.

I AM CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS - CHECK BACK MAY OR JUNE 2023 -- I work with men and women, who may be single, married or simply trying to figure it all out. I work with clients who may have a devastating sense of feeling lost, maybe even disillusioned with their daily life. Many have reached a point where their daily life has become overwhelmingly painful or worse are experiencing emotional numbness. I find whether you are single or married your current experience in life is not beyond hope for a better day. I see a flourishing life as one that affirms your own dignity along with the dignity of those around you.

My goal in therapy is to create a safe space where you can be honest and real. It takes great courage to seek help. To heal, grow and thrive people need a truly non-judgmental space in which to explore strengths, weaknesses, fears, past, present, and hopes for the future. I am real, kind, honest, and trustworthy. My therapy practice is rooted in an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, harm-reduction, trauma-informed, relational and person centered approach. I aim to create a safe space for clients to explore their identities and build self-efficacy.

I counsel the following populations: individuals struggling with anger, depression, grief, anxiety and/or trauma (such as acute trauma or PTSD); couples struggling with communication, trust, infidelity, and/or abusive patterns; and teens struggling with motivation, self-esteem, suicidal preoccupations, anti-social or other behavioral issues. I counsel individuals struggling with psychotic disorders, personality disorders and dissociative disorders. I provide family counseling as well as conflict resolution and mediation services. I provide coaching for wellness, psycho-spiritual growth, communication skills, relationship skills and parenting skills. Also, I provide psychosocial assessments.

Are you alone and feeling no support? Is your teenager struggling to be part of your family? Whether your teen is acting out through high-risk behaviors or isolating through technology, your family is probably feeling the strain. When you aren't sure how to help your teen or what they truly need, it can feel overwhelming and hopeless. I'm here to support you, your teen, and your family so you can move through your challenges together. Individuals seeking help with depressive or anxious feelings can find solutions through me as well.

Not sure what to do? Feeling desperate and hopeless? Struggling with letting go of the past? Don't know what to do about your child's out of control behaviors? We all come to a point in our lives when things seem unbearable. Sometimes we need a little help for a short amount of time, and sometimes we need a huge assist for an indefinite amount of time. My hope is that you begin to gain the confidence and stability to live life, not simply survive this world. I have an eclectic approach and pull from many therapeutic modalities to meet people where they are in their therapeutic journey.

I am currently accepting individual clients ages 18+ who are dealing with challenges such as disordered eating, struggles in career path, trauma, issues in young adulthood, difficulties in relationships (communication, boundary setting), and struggles with changing behavior. We also have other providers available who work with adults, teens, children, and couples with various concerns, for example: OCD, anxiety, relationship stress. I offer therapy that is very conversational and interactive. If you are looking for someone to empathize with you but also challenge you and ask questions, my approach to therapy may be a good fit.

You, as my client, are the number one focus. As a mental health therapist/counselor I place great value on working in a supportive environment and assisting you to develop goals to help you become a better individual who lives life to the fullest. In identifying your issues and questions, the general goal of counseling is to help you learn to implement coping mechanisms. Mental health counseling should be an educational process as well as a developmental process.

There are moments in our lives when we know we're done; done with a job, a relationship, a belief system, a way of life. At these moments, there is a choice to be made - retreat and play it safe, or move forward into a new way of being? I am a woman who has chosen to be an "Edge Walker," an "Artist/Healer;" giving full expression to the "Wild Gypsy Woman" within me. If you are at a "done" moment in your life, and feel ready to break free of the chains that bind you, call me.
