          There comes a point in time where we all could use a listening ear or a guidebook for how to overcome life's challenges. From depression to substance use, relationship issues or overcoming past trauma, life can throw you some curve balls that without intervention, could derail your future success. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, at a loss for what to do next, reaching out for help is the perfect first step! Whether your troubles are overtaking your life or you just feel like you aren't quite yourself, we can move through this stage of life together, and come out stronger on the other side.

          I am happy to partner along side you and walk through this season of life. Each client that I work with is unique and special in their own way which requires a specific approach to best meet your individual needs.

          Challenged by the events which has occurred in your life resulting in depressed moods, or anxiety. Finding it difficult to concentrate or focus due to being easily distracted or racing thoughts. Loss of interest in activities or being around people, daunting thoughts of going out into society, or maybe it’s the thoughts you have about who you are and your existence. You want change! You want to experience a difference in not only your behavior, but also your emotions and thoughts. From a nonjudgmental environment where you can speak freely, be heard without being ridiculed, and being seen.

          I’ve had the opportunity to interact with individual from various cultures, and socio-economic stances within the Human service field for over 33 years using various techniques from CBT, Mindfulness, ACT, Person-Centered, and pastoral counseling. I will walk with you through your journey as you reshape your thoughts and embrace your emotions.

          There comes a time in all our lives when we need someone to stand beside when we don’t want to get up; some one to hear us when the words don’t seem to come out right, and some to see us when it appears we have become invisible.

          We all face obstacles and conflict as we make our way through life’s transitions no matter at what age. How we manage those challenges is driven by our unique nature and our childhood experiences. Therapy enables us to gain self-understanding and coping skills to navigate our lives with greater motivation and self-confidence. We learn to courageously explore those ingrained and, not always conscious perceptions, we have of life while striving for balance, purpose, connectedness and empowerment.

          With 15 years of experience providing support for clients, age 18 – seniors, individuals and couples, LGBTQIA as well, in a variety of settings, and later on as an LCSW in a clinical setting, I’ve been helping clients to cope and manage their anxiety, depression, bipolar, physical impairments, various sources of trauma and addiction.

          My clients tell me I am easy to relate to. Most importantly, they feel cared for and understood.

          Every human does better when we feel connected to others and to ourselves. Put simply, connection is the compilation of three basic elements: knowing we are seen, heard, and that we matter. I was introduced to this concept when watching an interview with Maya Angelou, just before I began my graduate program to become a therapist. Since that time, I have heard many others share the same message… Oprah, Brene Brown, Johann Hari, and countless others that have studied, researched, and understand the tie that binds us all. When we feel better, we do better, right? The concept is simple, yes, but the work is obviously more complex.


          The concept is simple, yes, but the work is obviously more complex. You must first identify where and how you are disconnected. Do you struggle with low self-worth? Do you trust yourself? Do you struggle to regulate your emotions at times? Do you find yourself in conflict with others and/or unable to build trusting relationships?


          I can help… or at least I’d like to try. I will help you identify the barriers that keep you from getting where you want within yourself or in relationship with others, and I will teach and model ways to help you achieve your goals. Asking for help is hard, and definitely takes a lot of courage. Do it. Tap into that courage. I'm here when you're ready.

          I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in many settings within the community. Working with children and families experiencing foster care I have seen how trauma, loss, and grief impact the mind and the soul. But it also allowed me to see the power of resilience and the capacity for amazing change and progress. In my clinical work I take a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach to help individuals learn, grow, and thrive. I have helped individuals experiencing grief, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, depression, trauma, and adjustment problems.

          I serve a range of populations, from adolescent to adult clients ages 10-100, though I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults. I have experience working with clients who are managing depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, identity exploration, and relational and/or sexual trauma and abuse. My approach to counseling comes from an existential humanistic lens that incorporates techniques and concepts from other modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy. I believe that it is important for people to understand how they exist in the various systems around them and to create their own meaning and identity in order to seek a life they enjoy living. As part of this approach, I believe a positive relationship between the counselor and client is key for change and discovery.


          Through the incorporation of CBT techniques, I aim to help clients understand how their thoughts and behaviors interact with their situation, allowing them to make measurable change in their approach to difficulties in their daily lives. I will provide a safe and healthy environment in order for the client to feel comfortable in exploring who they are and what life they would like to lead.


          Counseling can be a difficult and uncomfortable process at times, which is what I strive to provide a safe and healthy environment with humor and compassion.

          People of all ages and stages experience life changing events that bring about emotional struggles, grief and loss and other challenges. Adults may find themselves questioning and asking "Who am I now?" and "Where do I go from here?". Children, preteens and teens may find themselves navigating through new emotions and experiences as they grow and change. The need to explore and understand these new landscapes is critical to making positive and sometimes difficult decisions regarding self expression and life choices. Overall goals often included finding relief of inner conflict, developing confidence and experiencing growth.

          As a LCMHC and Registered Play Therapist, I have 20 years of experience working with clients from the existential philosophy and utilizing Person Centered and Mindful and Cognitive Behavioral theories. As a certified yoga teacher, I believe in the body/mind/spirit connection and share active techniques to reduce anxiety and promote healing from the inside.

          At times, we all desire a safe space to explore and challenge ourselves. I work with adults and children to examine thoughts and feelings, provide support through exploration and help develop ways to carry out personal growth and change. If you find yourself or your child experiencing a life transition, I encourage you to reach out for hope.

          I specialize in providing counseling services to children and adolescents, and over the past 4 years have worked closely with all populations including children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have experience with anxiety, depression, family conflict, behavioral issues, and crisis intervention. I have experience working with individuals and groups within the home, school, community, and within hospitals. I draw from multiple therapeutic techniques and tailor my approach to what each individual client needs. I believe the therapeutic alliance is the most important aspect in therapy and to work towards this relationship there must be mutual trust, respect, agreement on the therapeutic goals, and the freedom to share within sessions.

          Therapy will help you learn new skills and techniques to better manage your stressors. By working together, one step at a time, we will work towards your therapeutic goals.
