Since 2004 I have been in private practice providing supportive counseling and life coaching for individuals. couples and families. A graduate of Antioch University with a Master of Arts in Psychology, I work with people who are experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, existential anxiety, or other life stressors, as well as a focus in maternal mental health including postpartum mood and anxiety disorders. My therapeutic approach involves understanding, compassion, exploration and insight. I am psychodynamic and existential in my approach, and welcome clients from a variety of backgrounds, spiritual traditions, and sexual orientations.

Inhale, exhale, repeat! Sounds easy, but it takes careful guidance and support to maintain. I'm here to help you build a SELF-CARE TOOLBOX to help you protect balance in your life. Life is a delicate balancing act – sometimes we need a little guidance and support to maintain it! I completely recognize that each person is unique and I ensure that every individual is empowered and feels comfortable and safe. As our coaching sessions progress, working with your goals is my primary focus. I find great meaning and purpose in working with populations of all ages, including children, adolescents, families, adults, couples and groups.

Counseling is a place for emotional growth, personal development, and positive change. Are you struggling or feeling stuck in life, work, relationships , sports, art, music or other creative efforts? Are you finding life's transitions challenging? I help adults struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family challenges, and new life situations. I work with executives, athletes, musicians, actors, writers, and other creative artists. I help college, high school, and middle school students manage transitions. Unlike large national counseling corporations , you will receive a boutique style service.

Are you struggling with obsessive food thoughts, unbreakable food behaviors or body hate? Has an eating disorder or food struggle stolen your brain space, relationships, confidence and ability to function? I know how this feels. You are left physically exhausted, stuck in your self-loathing thoughts and defeated. I spent the last 10+ years specializing in working with eating disorders and supporting/educating family members because I believe no one should have to feel this way. Whether this is your first stop or you've been in treatment, I am glad you are here. One thing I know for sure, we are not meant to do this alone.

Anxiety, depressive feelings, afraid of where the future may lead, or trying to figure out how to get over initial humps are common, but may also feel emotionally and physically draining. Therapy should be thoughtful, supportive, and provide a sense of safety for you to be yourself. This is the environment I look to create so that you can gain a deeper sense of self, and explore old thinking patterns and behaviors that may be preventing you from moving forward. I can offer a fresh perspective to help you re-frame those negative thoughts in a more productive direction.

Hello and welcome! I look forward to meeting you and helping you gain insight into unhealthy relationship patterns, negative self talk and how that effects your mood and behavior, and tolerance for all of life's challenges. I have experience working with clients who are having difficulties with interpersonal relationships, families dealing with unhealthy boundaries, and individuals and couples seeking to deepen their relationships and strengthen communication skills. By no means is this an all inclusive list, so please do contact me so we can discuss what your needs are and how I can help.

We believe the role of a therapist is to help you achieve clarity and balance so that you can move forward through life with strength, joy, and purpose. ​We have a team of therapists that are interactive and relational in sessions. Drawing on clinical expertise and individual life experience, we join with you where you are right now to help guide you through to where you want to be, and how you want to be living your best life.

So happy YOU are taking the first step to improving your life! Have you been feeling overwhelmed? Having relationship issues? Are you unhappy and unsure why? Ready to break unhealthy cycles? Or do you just need a safe place to process your thoughts and emotions? I work with individuals and couples experiencing stress, anxiety, postpartum, trauma, depression, family or relationship conflict, anger, communication, self-esteem issues, and cultural systemic oppression. I also provide Parenting Therapy to moms, dads, couples, and expecting parents.

Nothing feels right. Your body, your relationships, your job--they all feel so heavy, so frustrating, and out of your control . You wake up stressed before you even get out of bed. Sometimes you respond with anger, sometimes panic, sometimes you simply withdraw. Maybe you've imagined the way things are supposed to be, and wonder what you're doing wrong, or maybe you feel like circumstances, or other people are blocking you from your ideal life. Or perhaps you are so stressed that you can't even imagine a better life because it seems so unrealistic. What's the point?

Life can get complicated and there is no handbook on how to handle things like depression, anxiety, addiction and relationship problems. It is important to know two things: 1. you are not alone, 2. challenges are always opportunities to grow and change your life. You are probably here because it's time to "do something different." Let us help guide you through this journey!

I believe my position, as a therapist, is to partner with my clients in a safe environment that will allow resources to be uncovered and new choices to be discovered. These tools will equip them to find desired changes and/or fight their problems. Life experiences can limit what is available and by processing these experiences people can find understanding, healing and/or the ability to move on and thrive. I work with individuals, couples and families, and have a specialization in working with preteens/teens as well as persons with terminal illnesses. I offer a free phone consultation.

My approach blends years of experience with natural compassion, humor and insight. I'm not a passive therapist. I'm interactive in sessions, using a holistic, relational approach with techniques from CBT, DBT, psychodynamic and narrative. I specialize in helping re-wire patterned thinking in your brain through talk therapy. Without a bunch of clinical jargon, we have relatable conversations in session where I will both nurture you and challenge you when needed. We stay in the present to shift behaviors and ways of thinking, while also getting to the root of the issues and feelings by understanding and processing them at the core.

How we live every moment of our personal and/or professional lives is a matter of CHOICE. Feeling shameful, fearful, anxious, unworthy, low in mood, bitter, snappy, moody, lonely; or working towards feeling and being lively, caring, friendly, free, assertive, productive and joyous. The work is hard, but easier than being stuck in misery. Artificial constraints weighs us down, dragging us into the dark places of hopelessness, helplessness, powerlessness, victimhood, and many other negative feelings and behaviors (anger, depression, meanness, worthlessness, isolation...) blocking our way to sense of wellbeing and JOY.

Whether your struggle is deeply rooted or a temporary challenge, my role as a therapist is to create a safe space for exploring solutions and finding peace. It is possible to create a life you love with the life you have; let me help you. I also have personal and professional experience with the NPE (non-parent expected, or non paternal event) experience and am extremely comfortable, confident, and empathetic while treating those who have had shocking DNA discoveries. EMAIL IS BEST WAY TO INITIATE COMMUNICATION WITH ME! I am not taking on couples/marriage counseling at this time.

With over 15 years of experience, I am a passionate licensed clinical social worker who takes a compassionate approach to supporting clients. My goal is to help people gain clarity and personal growth as they navigate life's challenges. I create a caring environment for individuals to share their experiences openly. Through active listening and thoughtful guidance, I empower clients to gain self-awareness and implement positive changes. My dedication to this field stems from a deep sense of fulfillment in walking alongside others on their journey toward healing and wholeness.
