I enjoy helping clients accept and like themselves, organize around strengths, achieve greater emotional presence, think clearly, and let go of shame, guilt and old habits of emotional survival. I believe therapy should lead to better decisions, as well as improved quality of life and relationships.

At times the support my clients need doesn't require deep emotional or psychological work. They may want to learn how to do something differently and/or want someone to make them accountable. Whatever your desired goal may be, I will guide and support you reaching it.
I am an achiever myself through very challenging circumstances and unlikely odds for success. We all possess the potential to go beyond our current circumstances and I can guide this blossoming of personal, professional, and relationship growth with concrete results.
Sometimes we need more than a gentle space to process. Sometimes we need active life coaching. We explore your values, wants and needs, highlight goals, and brainstorm concrete approaches to achieve those goals, with pressure placed in appropriate amounts.
I have worked with people therapeutically 35+ years.
I have been married for over 40 years, and raised 2 kids.
I have worked a regular job to make a living and provide for my family.
I am rock solid in physical reality, and also a romantic visionary and can translate between the two worlds.
Hypnotherapy is an excellent way to gain personal insight, not just of your conscious goals but your subconscious motivations. When those align you can move forward with needed changes with clarity, purpose, and confidence.

I am a trained counselor/coach with extensive experience assisting folks with life transitions, whether relating to work, relationships, school or gender identity. Because of this experience, I may be more directive and interactive than many therapists; employing a coaching style that some people find more useful than basic talk therapy. We may discuss incorporating healthier life choices, life-planning, values or developing long-term goals. I also use interventions like exercises and homework, both CBT-based and creative. My active listening style may also include opportunities for clients to be accountable for their actions, encouraging them to work actively on their behaviors and follow through.

I have a style that can be very directional and goal oriented like life coaching. I like motivating people and sharing my contagious attitude towards healing and personal growth.
Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (103346), Certified Yoga & Meditation Instructor
I have experience working with clients who are in a career or life transition, making life transitional changes and choices, looking at deeper values and questions in their life including spirituality and life purpose, concrete life goals in the present, and much more. I approach life coaching holistically considering mind-body-spirit wellness - mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.
I'm an open-minded and accepting therapist with years of experience working with young and middle-aged adults - especially women - on exploring who we truly are and taking control of our lives so we can be the best versions of ourselves possible. Whether you are looking for support on identity concerns, what to do now that you're a "real" adult (yeah, adulting is hard!), or just someone outside your circle to talk things through with - we can create a counseling plan that fits your unique needs and goals.
I am passionate about providing a safe and welcoming space for people of all backgrounds and identities. Click that contact button and we can schedule a free consultation call today!
