In order for a broken bone to heal itself, it needs a secure container (a cast or brace). Likewise, in order for people to heal and grow in desired ways, they often need a secure container in which to accomplish this. I strive to provide that container for my clients by providing a strong therapeutic alliance and a soothing, safe office environment. Whether you want to make small adjustments in yourself or work to heal deep-seated issues that have resulted from difficult life experiences, I would like to help you achieve your goals. Call for a free consultation by phone to see if we will be a good fit together.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have spent over 18 years collaborating therapeutically with individuals, families, and schools. My passion is to help people learn ways to capitalize on their strengths, to help create an openness to gain improved skills, and to provide support as clients set a path towards improved day-to-day functioning. My experience has allowed me to help children, adolescents, and adults in private practice, juvenile justice settings, community settings, and school settings.
I now work exclusively in private practice and specialize in working with adults. I have treated a wide variety of conditions and have developed specialties in supporting those affected by depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, parenting concerns, coping difficulties, and chronic illness.
I have a wealth of respect for those who choose to enter counseling. My goal is to provide a supportive and collaborative counseling environment so that you can use your strengths as a spring board to help achieve healing and growth.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW-S, Registered Play Therapist
As a psychotherapist and registered play therapist, my goal is to help you and your family uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges.
I am honored when clients allow me to embark on their journey together toward healing and a better sense of well-being. It is also about allowing me to sit with them in their present awareness of reality and not feel so isolated from their thoughts and emotions. Everyone's story is different and unique to their circumstances and dynamics. Seeing a client truly feel heard and finding their voice when they thought it was lost is a profound experience. It can be a reminder their story is not over, but a new chapter is unfolding. Whether I see an individual, couple, or family, I can have an outside-looking-in perspective that the client may not see otherwise.
