Are you tired of strong emotional reactions running your life? Do you want to break behavioral and emotional patterns that you feel stuck in? I work with people who want more control over their emotions and behaviors, and who want to be happier and more at ease. Now offering Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy for those with treatment resistant depression, OCD, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 10 years of private practice experience providing services for children and families with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues. I offer a family systems approach tailored to each family's needs in a comfortable and supportive enviornment.

I am currently accepting new clients. With over 20 years of experience in depth-oriented therapy, I provide expert and empathetic support for adults dealing with personal, professional, or family challenges. Whether you’re overwhelmed by life’s stressors, struggling with tough relationship dynamics, or managing intense symptoms, I offer a therapeutic approach designed to foster resilience and understanding. My practice also supports individuals who, despite feeling generally successful, are navigating significant or acute stress levels.

Life can be so hard and confusing. We are stretched to the limit trying to fill our many roles and hats we wear. It can be helpful to have someone by your side as you struggle to make sense of it all. Deciding to come to therapy or bring your child to therapy doesn't have to be a scary experience. I want to offer you a place of acceptance and peace in the midst of life's chaos. Let me walk alongside you and your family on your journey through the difficulties of life. I have over 15yrs experience helping people find their path to healing from the hurts of the past to create the possibility of a brighter future. Let's find yours.

I provide a safe, trusting environment for my clients to open up and share their experiences without feeling judged or shamed. I take a warm, client-centered approach to psychotherapy, based on the work of Carl Rogers. I believe that one of the most valuable aspect of therapy is for the therapist to have unconditional positive regard toward the client. As my client, I will think the best of you, and truly believe that you are capable of great things. I am positive, non-judgmental and compassionate, and when you enter my office it will be a safe environment for you to be vulnerable and be yourself.

I have a loving, direct approach with clear communication, a relaxed, non-judgmental style creating ease in therapy, and an intuitive ability to connect and help others re-connect. I love working with people who seek to deepen themselves and have more intimate connection with their loved ones, whether that's a child, spouse, parent or other relationship. I want to know who you are, and am here to listen and to be with you exactly where you are in this process. I am here to meet you. Come. Let's explore together.

Experiences can shape who we believe ourselves to be without us even recognizing the impact of it all, often skewing our perceptions of our true self. Our situations and relationships can also leave us feeling hurt, disappointed, afraid, angry, confused, out of control, unmotivated, and so much more. I understand how difficult and uncomfortable it is to feel conflicting emotions simultaneously. I absolutely enjoy working with people of all walks of life to help build mindfulness, a deeper sense of self and clarity and peace amid whatever issues you may be facing.

I specialize working with children and young teens who are looking for guidance in coping strategies, regulation, and developing a positive self concept in order to face everyday stressors with confidence. I believe showing unconditional acceptance and positive regard in a safe and supportive way allows a child to feel confident and empowered to make their own decisions and gives them the pathway to become healthy and confident adults.

There is more to life than just coping! I work with adults and couples who want to feel more vibrancy and optimism in their life, but are just feeling kind of stuck and frustrated. It may surface as a boring job, a flat relationship, not enough relationships, feelings of hopelessness, or a sense of not really choosing the life you have. Humans are not built to solve everything by themselves, and working with an experienced, compassionate, resourceful therapist can help you lighten your load and have choices that make you feel more alive.

I would describe my practice as helping people work through life issues in ways that promote relational, emotional and spiritual growth. My clinical areas of interest include spirituality, depression, anxiety, and relationship problems. I also specialize in working with men's issues. I apply a Christian/faith-based approach to counseling and am trained in both theology and professional counseling. I am an ordained minister and pastoral counselor. I don't impose my beliefs on clients, and respect all faith/spiritual traditions as valuable resources for healing. Areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, childhood abuse, personality disorders, faith crisis, marriage, family, adolescent, and relationship issues.

Is your family experiencing big emotions? Are you frustrated in your efforts to help your child cope with their feelings? Is your child unhappy, frightened or upset by a sibling’s behavior or a parent’s response to that behavior? Do you and your partner disagree about how to handle big emotions? Is your family having difficulty working through feelings related to loss, separation or divorce? I will work collaboratively with your family while tailoring a mix of therapy styles to best serve everyone in reaching their emotional goals. These strength-based therapy styles include: play, creative arts, mindfulness and talk therapies.

Having worked in the field for the past twenty years, my passion is to help children, adolescents and adults overcome and manage their symptoms of trauma and exposure to violence. I have worked extensively with parents, teachers, and child care providers in the area of early childhood mental health providing consultation and seminars to assist them in increasing their effectiveness with young children, zero to five. My work with ACT Raising Safe Kids has allowed me to train parents and professionals on an evidenced informed parenting curriculum for children 0 to 8.

I have ten years of experience working in a residential care setting where I provided relational and emotional regulation and processing to adolescents and their families. I am skilled at offering insight that assists the family or individual in processing difficult situations.

Over the past couple of years, I have spent my time learning about how adolescents and young adults operate in society and what life transitions create stress and anxiety. I hope to help clients of all ages process the stress of every day life and learn to accept where they are and figure out together how to move forward and pave the way for success. I believe that everyone has a unique path in life and there is not a one-size fits all approach to life, so as a counseling, my main goal is to meet my client where they are at.

Are you feeling stuck and ready to live like you again? Living with anxiety can be crippling. Watching your child struggle with anxiety locked away from your efforts to help is overwhelming. If your anxiety runs the show you know you miss out on friends, family, and unlocking your potential. If your child is struggling they may be having behaviors that you KNOW are not them but you can't seem to get a handle on. Anxious or traumatized kids are often acting out kids and getting them to talk about the real problems can feel impossible. If you're an adult with trauma you may not have learned how to do that either. You can be better.

Currently accepting new clients. If you've been struggling emotionally, whether it be depression, anxiety or any other mental health complications, I'm happy to help. Life can be challenging, especially present-day, so seeking therapy can be transformative. I'm here to help-whether it be with setting goals and having accountability, listening and processing different emotions, or providing tools to help manage mood and anxiety, I'm your girl!

I cater to clients who are ready to start their therapeutic journey and find relief from problematic symptoms ( e.g. depression, anxiety, and those related to relationship problems, parenting concerns to name but a few). Therapy is a collaborative experience therefore it's important to be prepared with honesty and effort to begin along the pathway for positive change. As your therapist, I am here to facilitate communication, to support you and help you recognize and learn new strategies to help you get to where you want to be; this is only possible because I am on the outside, looking in.

If you’re here, you may be curious about supporting your mental health and I recognize that asking for help isn’t easy. Finding a therapist that works for you can be a challenge and I applaud you for taking these steps! My goal is to create a safe space where you feel comfortable showing up authentically so we can explore and embrace radical acceptance. I celebrate all identities and empower others to find the strengths in their own uniqueness. Through the process of unlearning ineffective thought and behavior patterns, we can unleash our innate resilience and begin living life to the fullest.

Hello, it's my aim to partner with you as you seek to reach your goals in improving and/or eliminating the current symptoms that led you to look for the services of a mental health professional. Additionally, I have researched the benefits of more holistic treatments including aromatherapy for mental health. This can be easily incorporated in the treatment process if you so desire.
