Counseling is a deeply personal journey. I work to empower and guide clients toward their own unique solutions that can bring order and managability to life and to relationships. Individuals will be challenged to discover their own unique areas of strength upon which to build skill in overcoming problems and issues that contribute to feeling "stuck." Couples will be challenged to identify individual and collective patterns that interfere with relational closeness, safety, and intimacy. Older children and teenagers will be encouraged to learn valuable skills to help them cope with life's struggles in an environment of safety and trust.

I am a social worker with 15 years of experience helping people create healthy change.

With over 15 years of experience in mental health, I help individuals and couples discover, create, and sustain the positive changes they seek in their lives. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma. However, I have worked with many mental health issues over the years and frequently work with stress, addiction, motivation, intimacy issues, family conflict, life changes/adjustments, grief, communication issues, emotional regulation, parenting, self-esteem, and personal growth and discovery. I have extensive experience working with adults, teens, couples and families.

I am trained in both EMDR and clinical hypnotherapy, which provide me with excellent tools to help you to discover the deeper meanings of the issues you are currently dealing with. These modalities enable my clients to see the bigger picture and are excellent tools for releasing trauma, desensitizing old pain and triggers and envisioning a new future. Real and lasting change can only happen when you heal the wound at its source, which can sometimes be deep inside the unconscious mind.

People were created for meaningful relationships with one another. Everyone has a unique story they want to share, and therapy provides space and openness to explore this journey. Due to our environment, culture, family background and life circumstances, we look at life through a lens that shapes our present thoughts and behaviors. The psychotherapeutic modalities I use in treatment are Solution Focused Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Experiential Therapy, Object Relations Therapy, and Structural and Strategic Family Therapy. Marriage and Family therapists look at the entire family system.

Hello and welcome! My passion is in helping women overcome relationship challenges and find empowerment in their romantic lives. You may spend time obsessing about your romantic partner/s, feel anxiety about the relationship, find yourself in complicated situationships, find dating to be a struggle, question if the person you're dating or married to is the right fit, and find yourself feeling like a failure when relationships don't work out. What you'd love is to be with someone who recognizes, appreciates, and sees you. You'd love to be able to set healthy boundaries and have relationships that are fulfilling and peaceful.

I work with individuals who would like to explore how their upbringing has influenced the way they relate to others. Perhaps you’ve noticed the same patterns emerging in your romantic relationships or friendships, and you’d like to understand why. Do you struggle to establish and maintain boundaries? Is there something holding you back from asking for what you need and being vulnerable? Your parents may not have provided you with much emotional support due to generational and/or cultural differences. You’d like to understand whether the survival mechanisms that you’ve learned as a child are still serving you.

I am an active listener, and my goal is to listen to my clients and help them to deal with their issues. I realize the need to be heard, so I am here to listen so that we can both get along in this journey together to find unique solutions. I typically work with adult clients & however, in some instances I also take on clients who are older adolescents or older adults. Saturday appointments are available. I look forward to meeting you.

Are you struggling with how you fit into the world we all share? Do you find that anxiety, depression, and the barriers you are facing are overwhelming? Finding acceptance and even love for our imperfections can be difficult in a world that is build for only displaying your best perfect self. I specialize in working with those that are physical and mental "disabilities", LGBTQI, Poly/Kink, ADHD, neurodiverse, Autistic, and DID.

My practice is catered to promoting the mental health of adolescents and adults. My specialties include depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, interpersonal issues, and self-esteem. My goal is to provide a safe place for individuals to share their stories, provide coping strategies and perspective, and empower individuals to make changes according to their goals and values. I am a female Christian therapist with experience in both faith-based and traditional counseling. It is a passion of mine to integrate faith into our work together. I am happy to base my care on your preferences and will work with what is comfortable for you.

The goal of therapy is determined by you, and what you want to accomplish in the process of therapy. I believe you have the full potential to reach your goals and have a better understanding of your true self if you allow self-compassion and compassion for others. You are people who experience hardships in life transitions, struggle with identity issues, have relationship conflicts, seek healing from traumatic experiences, suffer from social injustice and people who seek personal growth.

I offer individual and group grief counseling to grievers. As a suicide-bereaved mother myself, I offer traumatic grief counseling to parents and other grievers. Because child loss can be so isolating, bereaved parents often find companionship in a group to be a comfort on this difficult lifelong path. While religious/spiritual notions can be a support, often they are not. As people of conscience, we can lean into what comforts and release what is no longer helpful; sometimes clients grapple with their changing beliefs in sessions. Traumatic grief often leads to changes in beliefs and I companion that exploration. I am a humanist.

EMDR Trained and Accepting new clients. Do you doubt yourself? Do you feel drained from code-switching or being policed by others? Do you feel like others do not get you? Taking the first step towards healing and growth takes immense courage, and I am here to support you on this journey. I understand that life's challenges, especially when compounded by trauma, a world full of isms and racial experiences, can leave lasting emotional imprints. My approach centers around creating a safe, direct, and empathetic space where you can explore your emotions, confront your past, and embrace the possibilities of the future.

Accepting New Clients!. Providing services to teens and adults who are struggling with mood and/or behavioral issues, depression, anxiety, frustrated parents, relationship issues, cancer patients/survivors/individuals that hope for a better life. I consider individual's strengths and needs in order to provide the best therapeutic interventions. I specialize in providing trauma focused modalities to those who are struggling with trauma and may be suffering from PTSD. I also provide services to a wide range of individuals, utilizing a number of therapeutic inventions.

Why go to therapy? You might seek therapy when experiencing emotional pain or stress, even confusion about a situation or about yourself. Life challenges can pile up and seem overwhelming. Worry can interfere with relationships, work, and sleep. One goal of therapy is to relieve stress and every session should offer greater understanding of issues and relief in some way. Maybe you feel all alone with your concerns—it’s normal to feel that way. Therapy offers a place of understanding and acceptance, a place to be heard, and for you to feel safe with all of your feelings and thoughts, even those that you feel no one else has.

My passion is to empower others to build self-confidence through therapy. Through self-confidence, you can learn how to care for yourself in ways that help you grow using self-compassion and maintain your mental health.
