You have been able to stuff your trauma deep down for a long time and either pretend that it didn’t happen, ignore that it happened or minimize your trauma. Until now. Angry outbursts, sleepless nights, anxiety, spontaneous crying, and/or intimacy difficulties are becoming difficult to ignore. You are ready to stop feeling angry, sad, or confused. But it is scary to address trauma that you have either never discussed before or others have dismissed or minimized your traumatic experience(s).

Life is Complicated! Depression, anxiety, divorce and all sorts of traumatic experiences are issues that make life difficult, messy and at times unbearable. These issues cause havoc in daily functions that results in confusion, guilt, and shame. They rob you of the happiness, and the joy that you desire to live and the purpose filled life you were created to experience. I work with those who are experiencing issues related to depression, anxiety and stress, trauma related to childhood and adult sexual abuse, divorce, grief, anger and other issues that prohibit a fulfilling life.

Are you a woman who is a high-achiever, veteran, or in law enforcement, struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, or self-doubt? Are you very critical of yourself or plan for “what if” scenarios? Are you considered the fixer for everyone, but have little support when you need it most? I specialize in helping women choose themselves first, trust their judgment and break free from worry. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, you will learn ways to say no, put your needs first and embrace all parts of you. Let’s drop the weight of the world and find inner peace.

When life becomes unpredictable and overwhelming it can feel isolating and lonely. As a therapist, my goal is to ensure that each client feels heard, validated and safe, always knowing that there is someone there to listen and provide support. At times, we can feel that we need to hide our anxiety, depression, relational issues and worries. I offer a place where you are able to fully be yourself, where it is okay, not to be okay. My goal for each session is for you to feel supported and empowered to overcome obstacles and create an environment that promotes positive change.

Welcome to a safe space, where you are the most important person. I believe that therapy should be a chance for you to discover more about yourself and how to live your best life. I have had the pleasure of working with all ages in many different levels of treatment. I have come to believe that early intervention is the most valuable approach to achieving a balance in one's mental health. I have spent the last several years serving in the emergency rooms of an adult hospital and a children's hospital. Many times I found myself wishing they would have come for help much earlier.

I believe in the innate capacity of human beings to find their own answers, and I see my role as helping to facilitate that process. I enjoy helping people find their own strengths and develop and fine tune their growth. My style is fundamentally humanistic, and I believe that encouragement is at the root of growth and healing. Helping clients to recognize patterns in their lives can also be beneficial. My background in rehabilitation counseling has enabled me to work with adults with a wide variety of disabilities. My personal experiences also enable me to help others with the emotional aspects of serious medical issues.

Do you feel like everyone else was given a rule book to life but you didn’t get one? Things that other people find easy, like making friends and getting a job, feel impossible to you. You’re trying to do your best but your anxiety and depression gets in the way. You don’t have to feel this way. You can learn to embrace yourself and create a life you are excited to live. It is possible to find your place in this world. You can learn to accept yourself and use your strengths to your advantage. You can learn to process negative thoughts and beliefs, and tackle the anxiety that’s holding you back.

Do you feel like the world was designed for one type of person, and that you didn’t get or don’t want to follow the rulebook? You’ve experienced rejection, discrimination, invalidation, or misunderstandings due to your neurodivergence, gender/sexual identity, chronic illness, or disability. Hiding parts of yourself to survive leaves you disconnected from your authentic self. You may be in the process of rebuilding yourself after childhood, partner, or religious abuse. It feels like your identity itself is in question, and you want relief from the depression, anxiety, and hopelessness, and to be able to accept yourself as you are.

I have an unusual background for a psychotherapist. Before I started my counseling career, I worked as a TV news reporter, an online media executive, and an adjunct college professor. This diverse experience in journalism, business, and education has given me valuable skills that I use in my counseling practice. My sense of humor is another important part of my counseling style. I take my work with clients seriously, but there are times when therapy needs to include some humor. I also offer life coaching for clients who want to make some changes but don't know where to start.

People reaching out for professional services want respect and relief. I honor both of these. I respect that each client who comes to see me is the expert on their life and situation. I also respect that they are trusting me with their story and concerns. Yet, clients also want some relief. That is why my approach builds on the existing strengths and assets that an individual, couple, or family brings into my office so that symptom relief is quick and long term change is realistic and sustainable.
