Welcome, I’m glad you’re here. Wherever you find yourself, therapy holds a compassionate space where you no longer have to bear it all alone. Together, we can slow down and give attention to the feelings and experiences that are often pushed aside to meet the demands of daily life. You might be navigating a difficult situation, grappling with anxiety and stress, adjusting to a life transition, grieving a painful loss, working through faith-based or spiritual concerns, or coping with a chronic illness. Life can be incredibly hard, and my desire is to offer kindness, hope, and support in the midst of it.

I am out-of-country 12/14-12/31. I will not be scheduling intakes nor consults during this time. Please include in an inquiry name, number, insurance and availability. I will schedule consults when I return. Thank you! I help busy women, moms, First Responders, those living with chronic illness, and trauma to live fuller lives, process trauma, decrease anxiety and depression, thrive, and find Joy again! I work in CBT, CPT, and ACT therapy protocols for PTSD, anxiety and depression as well as chronic health. I also coach high-performing women to go from burnout to breakthrough in their careers, with less stress.

What do you do when you find yourself struggling with problems? Do you let those issues, such as, relationships, weight, substance abuse, behaviors, emotions, thoughts, energy or finance victimize you? If this problem doesn't make you feel happy and yet there is a part of you that fears overcoming the problem, I believe there might be some healing work we can do together. I can help you access your subconscious mind and help you achieve this goal of conscious freedom.

Are you heartbroken? Anxious? Angry? All of the above and more? You are welcome here. You may have a relationship that is falling apart or make the same bad decisions again and again. You may be overwhelmed by an overly critical mind that says you are undeserving, less than, or too much. Perhaps you take care of others and forget to take care of yourself. You long for companionship and have a deep desire to matter, to belong, and to be respected.

Feeling overwhelmed? Struggling with transition, trauma, or loss? Longing for a life that fits with who you truly are inside? Depression, grief, relationship issues, trauma, & anxiety can leave you exhausted, stuck in painful old patterns. But they can also be opportunities for growth. Therapy is a process of "tending the soul," as well as addressing life's problems. I especially like working with women in midlife.

A lot of people come for therapy because they are not feeling good. This might be from a trauma or a difficult life changing event, or they haven’t been feeling good or something isn’t right in that moment. Therapy can be an eye opening to these aspects and a place to address what concerns you to improve your life. There are always two sides for life. You could be wonderful enjoying your life and it still could be struggling. It’s okay not to be okay. Sometimes all we need is someone to really understand what’s going on and listen to us.

I am passionate about being present with individuals as they experience disappointment, pain, despair, and joy in life and relationships. Sometimes, we need help navigating. I believe together we will discover the power and insight already within you. We undergo a process of examining your inner life, dreams, fantasies, and imagination to discover the inspiration that will allow you to live an authentic life. My approach is individually-focused and relationship-driven. Whatever challenges you are facing; that with a bit of goodwill and openness, much can be uncovered in a relatively short period of time.

Life is like a rollercoaster. Cheesy, I know, but it’s one of my favorite metaphors for life. It’s filled with so many ups and downs, at times we’re holding on for dear life and at others, we put our hands up in the air and enjoy the ride. It’s helpful to have someone beside you no matter where you are on the journey, and that’s why I’m here. I use a trauma- and attachment-based approach to target mind, body, and soul. I use a variety of interventions from somatic, mindfulness, narrative, emotion-focused, and cognitive behavioral frameworks. Therapy is a collaborative process, you are in the driver's seat and I in the passenger.

I believe that every human being has uniqueness and potential to lead a satisfying life. I have continually sought personal growth and professional training to strengthen my capacity as a therapist. People experience results and growth in working with me, learn to cope with depression, resolve anxieties, improve intimate relationships, increase capacity for self control, develop effective parenting and better understanding of their children, overcome trauma like divorce or abuse, achieve better school performance, social skills, and find peace in their hearts.

Offering insight in a safe, accepting environment can be a game changer. In this loud and confusing time we live in it's important to explore your internal resources, acknowledge your own wisdom and develop the skills you lack. That's what we do in my practice. The goal of treatment is to empower you in every way to take control of your life and soar above the obstacles becoming who you were meant to be.

Many people today are struggling with self-criticism, unhealthy patterns in their relationships, and a weight of emotional pain that feels unshakeable. I'm a firm believer that people who come to see me for support are stuck, not sick. I consider myself a guide walking along side you in your journey and my role is to help you compassionately understand how your experiences have shaped you into who you are today while also finding tangible ways to navigate current obstacles. I support my clients in reclaiming love for themselves by authentically recognizing that the relationship with one's self is the foundation for our wellbeing.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? I want you to know that I can help and that you are not alone. I help people find their future and reach their maximum potential. I work with a diverse clientele that includes individuals, couples, adolescents, and families. Counseling is available for relationship problems, conflicts, career and lifestyle changes, life coaching, anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and loss including pet loss, and low self-esteem. I use a person-centered approach drawing from several different modalities but most importantly is matching the right modality to the client's needs.

Our beliefs, behavior patterns, and perceptions can prevent us from living a fulfilling and meaningful life. Noticing how we think and identifying life values can provide a compass for living and give us direction, away from anxiety and depression. We can be empowered by choices about where our mind would take us.

I can help you find solutions to persistent problems like: panic attacks, not being able to say no, struggling with your children,, excessive worrying or unresolved grief & loss. I am committed to working with children & teens as well as adults. I am told that I am easy to talk to, warm, validating & practical. You are tired of banging up against the same wall, the same problem. Working with me is collaborative. WE work as a team. We focus on your strengths and needs. You are ready to put in the effort and take action to change.

Life can be a challenge, I know. I am also aware that with every obstacle comes solutions that are viable for maintaining better outcomes. Particularly, there are times when we have to identify and examine uncomfortable behavioral patterns and dynamics that impede on our ability to function at our best. Confronting these limitations can often times feel like shame and guilt, and disassemble our ability to possess compassion for our process
