Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do you want to find solutions leading to greater peace of mind and contentment? I provide you a compassionate, safe environment to speak freely about your unique situation. Although we can address together any life issue, my specialties include couples counseling, premarital preparation for marriage, caregiver stress, and grief therapy. I can also teach you mindfulness techniques to handle daily stress and bring clarity of thought. Tinnitus can be treated, too. Having studied world religions, I can help you use your religious and spiritual beliefs to facilitate your life journey, regardless of your path.

If you are a human person looking to improve and understand your experiences with living, I am here to help. Whether this is your first experience with counseling or you are well-seasoned in the ways of talk therapy, I'm glad you are exploring the idea. Counseling can and will help work through things like depression, anxiety, trauma, body image issues, relationship concerns, general dissatisfaction with life, and numerous other bumps in the road.

Perhaps you - or you and your partner - are standing on a threshold, a doorway between the life you have known and the life ahead of you. You may feel disconnected from yourself, from what used to give your life meaning, from that spark that used to enliven your relationship. You are walking in the dark, overwhelmed by the unknown, maybe feeling depressed or anxious, or both. I am here to sit with you in that scary, and sometimes exciting space, to help you be attentive to your deepest needs, fears, and longings, to communicate clearly and gently, and to uncover the deep well of wisdom and love that lies within and between you.

Trying to keep it together can be exhausting when you feel your life is falling apart. You’re likely feeling overwhelmed, questioning everything, and maybe not recognizing the person you’ve become. You’re trying your best but stressed, showing up to places nervous, exhausted, and uncertain of what to do next. Together, we will figure out the root of what’s going on, discover your innate strengths, find your authentic voice, and develop coping skills so you can reconnect with yourself and those you care about.

Finding a good therapist changed my life. Since becoming a psychotherapist in 2010, my goal has been to help my clients heal as they do the essential and difficult work of being human. I love psychotherapy and my clients can feel that. We meet inside my home office which has a private entrance. It's how psychotherapists treated patients back in the day and I have found the set up to be efficient at building rapport and safety. I really like myself and you can really like yourself too.

My heart and passion has always been with helping others. I have knowledge in working with individuals, couples, and families facing life's challenges. I am skilled at assisting people with work stress, post-traumatic stress disorder, and traumatic loss through accident or violence. Many types of stress can move silently but painfully through our lives, I have the knowledge to introduce healthy coping skills, reduction of anxiety, and conflict resolution. During these times knowing who we are, caring for ourselves and others is more important than ever. I'm here for those living the daily effects of racial trauma.

We all have a story to tell, a need to be understood, and a place to belong. I seek to provide a safe place to explore, dream, grieve, process, hope, learn, and pursue growth and transformation. I feel deeply honored to bear witness to the stories and experiences of the clients that I see, as I strive to help illuminate the path to healing and wholeness. I believe that all clients, whether I am working with individuals, couples, or families, have unique strengths and remarkable resilience that can be leveraged to meet their therapeutic goals.

Are you at a transition point? On the journey of life, it’s normal to arrive at a fork in the road. Perhaps you feel dissatisfied with your current path. Maybe you’ve put other people’s needs before your own for too long and you’re ready to prioritize yourself. You long for some authentic joy. If this resonates for you, I’m here to help. As a former professional theatre artist and current professional counselor, I love working with adults in the midst of life transitions seeking a stronger sense of self-worth. Lets co-create a new story for you that aligns with who you are and where you're going.

We are not meant to live life alone, but rather deeply involved in relationships. Some of these relationships are highly successful, while others have come with great loss, significant struggle or just the every day difficulty of learning to live and enjoy life with another person. I believe in the value of working through personal problems in the context of building stronger relationships. I will help you work through this on a personal level or with whomever you are needing to have a restored relationship with.
