I will be there to support and empower you as overcome you challenges and fulfill significant life goals. Seeing my clients overcome personal challenges is one of the most rewarding feeling I’ve known.

I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients, and have done so since I began practicing in 1994. Psychotherapy can be an uncomfortable experience, and I see myself as a fellow traveler in that journey. I have worked extensively with sexual abuse victims, anxiety, and depression. I am also a sex offender treatment provider.

Accepting new clients starting 9/12/2024! Maybe you have a box in your head that's labeled "Past Stuff." You put in all the things you don't like thinking about: hurts from your childhood, the memories of things you did that play on a loop in your head if you're not careful. Lately, things have been leaking out. You feel less in control of your life, and the memories that used to stay in the box are escaping. Or maybe you know the box is there and have a sense that you should sort through it, but you're not sure about doing it alone.

Life can be challenging in many ways...we are often having to pivot due to uncontrollable changes or feeling 'stuck'. All this can lead to insurmountable distress and feeling unmanageable. You can heal, recover, and succeed in positive growth! My experience in counseling is widespread. I've worked in the helping profession over 20 years (minus a few years to parent). Currently, I work part-time with a community based program. There appears to be a big demand for mental health providers and I enjoy being able to help others.

At times the hurt, anger, anxiety or confusion brought on by life's challenges leaves us stuck or acting ineffectively, unable to determine our best next steps. During these times it can useful to have a guide, someone to help us identify our options, discover opportunities, provide tools for overcoming obstacles, and offer support as we heal and grow. This is my role as a therapist.

Therapy is a collaborative process where I try to help clients find what isn't working in their lives and help them "try on" different ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Therapy can at times be a "trial and error" where I provide coping skills for my clients and see if what I provided is useful. Although I make it a point to use evidence-based practices, I also take into consideration the context of my client's life and the current world climate when exploring issues and what would be most effective in their path for change.
