For the past 9 years I have worked with individuals from birth to adults and have experience working with families and clients with issues ranging from neuro-divergence, ADHD, Autism, attachment issues, PTSD, anxiety, sensory processing disorders and clients with dual-diagnoses. I offer an integrative approach of humanistic and person-centered, psychodynamic and strength-based interventions. I have training within trauma-informed care, mind and body connection, reflex integration that impacts our self-regulation and emotions, along with understanding our nervous system. I have worked with a variety of communication styles and I am in tune with non verbal language and emotions. I can help clients move beyond talk therapy by helping them tune into and connect with their bodies, where trauma is often stored.

You’re feeling disconnected, and there’s a sense of loneliness within yourself and perhaps with others around you. You’re feeling lost and stuck, immobilized by fear and anxiety. You find yourself lacking joy and meaning, and you’re trying to find what that is for yourself. You’ve come to a place where you know something needs to change. Maybe you are new to this work, or perhaps you have started doing some of your own work, but you are looking for some new, fresh perspective to help you continue moving into who you are more fully.

I have 35 years of experience helping people find a way to live a richer and more satisfying life. Therapy is about empowering individuals and coming face to face with adversities. Clients are helped to explore past experiences that impact current emotions and behaviors. In order to change you need to resolve internal conflicts that lead to emotional distress, unwanted behaviors and physical symptoms. I help to create a safe place to begin to talk about the meaning of your feelings and thoughts. I create a space where you can explore whatever is on your mind and we think together about your feelings, thoughts and dreams thus gaining a greater knowledge of self.

As a mental health counselor and life coach, I operate from the assumption that everyone is born with the ability to be well and thrive regardless of past or current circumstances, experiences, or genetics. I help people see they are already potentially well and not broken or ill. In my view, true mental health is not just the absence of symptoms; it consists of peace of mind, resilience, wisdom, love, understanding, gratitude, acceptance, forgiveness, and much more. I am dedicated to helping people access these qualities of innate mental wellness through deep listening, respectful dialogue, and education on fundamental principles that explain how the human mind works. I am grateful to be able to work from a framework that allows me to listen to the whole person and not through the lens of diagnoses or symptoms. My sessions are present-moment focused, conversational, positive, and informative. I meet people where they are and point them back to the source of their natural mental health and wellness that has never been lost, even though it may seem like it has. I could not ask for more rewarding or fulfilling work. I am inspired by the transformations I see every day.

My passion is working with people who have stress, unresolved trauma, or grief that may be complicated by depression and anxiety and preventing them from getting what they want out of life.

My goal is to help each person feel better by finding their own path to their thriving life. Together we create a working environment of acceptance, hope, and healing where insight grows and new options can be explored safely. Call or email today and let's talk about how you can find your path to thriving.

My style is direct, dynamic and change-oriented, combining compassionate understanding of present problems with enthusiasm and hope for future goals. My view is holistic, striving for balance of body and mind. My strategies encompass emotional, cognitive, behavioral and spiritual aspects, and involve strength-based, solutions-focused principles.
