I find a great importance in connecting with individuals who feel disconnected, ashamed, marginalized, or stigmatized. It is my responsibility to offer a safe, nonjudgmental, and open atmosphere for expression. We often feel certain subjects/experiences are not to be acknowledged or discussed. I welcome those challenging subjects/experiences to be expressed at my practice.
If you have a history of trauma, relationship issues, mood instability, or low self-esteem, I'd love to meet you. I use my training and experience in Ego State interventions as well as IFS to support people in healing old wounds, working through current issues, and building the life they desire. We will come up with a plan that feels comfortable enough for where you are right now, but also ultimately moves you forward. My style is engaged, warm, direct, and down-to-earth. Please reach out to schedule a consult and see if we'd be a good fit.
Has life become overwhelming due to an unexpected life change, illness or death of a loved one? Do you feel like you are stuck, wanting to change but don't know how? Are you suffering from anxiety and depression that just won't seem to go away? As a former oncology social worker, I have helped thousands of patients and families struggling with all of the above while trying to make the best health decisions for themselves. Using proven approaches and a warm, person-centered connection, I can help you feel and live better. I offer a free 30 minute consultation, so you don't have to pay to see if we are a good fit. Call or email me today and let's talk about how I can help you overcome your current challenges, live more fully, sleep better, have a greater sense of ease, and be better able to handle any other obstacles you may face.
You are likely reading this because you are looking for something in your life to be different. You (or your teen) may be struggling with emotions and moods, anxiety, grief, relationships (with self and others), parenting, communication, school or career. I work with people to identify what is working and what they would like to be different, and then work on the how. It is important to me that you feel seen and heard, and that our work together is of value to you and your life.
I became a therapist because I believe that everyone deserves to have a gentle, non-judgemental listening ear while attempting to problem solve some of life's most difficult moments. For me, the therapeutic relationship is a special connection that allows for creativity, exploration, discovery, and empowerment.
It is my goal to help you become the best you that you can be. While everyone's individual therapy goals are different, the general goal of happiness and success is paramount in every session. How can we make you happier? I strive to provide every client with an extraordinary client experience and excellent customer service in a relaxing environment so that you can finally focus on what YOU need.
I am committed to you as a vibrant, connected, unified being. I recognize all of our potential to heal and to be whole! I invite you to partner with me to embark on your journey of creating lasting transformative growth and ultimate well-being. "The only journey is the journey within"

Couples often seek counseling at a point where they believe their relationships are beyond repair. Communication has broken down, they lack trust, and intimacy no longer exists. Giving yourselves a chance to address this in therapy increases your chance of resolution. Successful, loving relationships are the result of continuous effort. I work with those who desire to learn and receive feedback that directly relates altering behaviors that are damaging to the relationship. When these conditions are met, there is an excellent chance that the relationship will wind up in a stronger place than it’s ever been in before.
In working with women it is my firm belief that we all have the capacity to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives, rich with experiences, emotions and relationships. The goal of individual therapy to empower you to be your best self and find passion and joy in life. We’ll address everything you’re feeling, explore new options, and together develop a plan to help you reach your dreams and self-potential.
