I enjoy being authentic and connecting with my patients on a genuine level. I bring the same calm, positive, and empathetic energy to every session, staying true to myself.

My goal in counseling is to meet individuals where they are and assist them on their journey to emotional wellness. I am light-hearted, yet direct. I am supportive and seek to always encourage them in finding their strength. I believe active listening and rephrasing are key to ensuring that I as the therapist hear each client. So I frequently seek to confirm what is being said.

Do you feel stressed, unhappy, or depressed at home? Are you stuck in yet another relationship that seems doomed to fail? Is your relationship lacking intimacy and romance, or do you feel that the spark is gone? I'm a compassionate and experienced counselor who helps families, couples, and individuals overcome obstacles in various areas of their lives. I offer support, answers to questions, and general assistance to my clients outside the office, and can also make home and office visits. I particularly enjoy working with clients who aren't achieving their goals but who are motivated to change that. Please email me or call me.

I believe that therapy can help individuals overcome obstacles, gain insight, and create changes that result in a better quality of life. You may be facing serious challenges and experiencing significant emotional difficulties, or you may just need a safe space to open up about the various stressors in your life. My goal is to help you unravel and process the individual hurdles that stand in the way of achieving a happier and more fulfilling life. I run a group therapy practice focused on material mental health. We are located within a collaborative space, Be Hive Wellness, that houses several holistic providers focused on mind-body wellness. I am certified as a perinatal mental health practitioner, and I love helping individuals who are struggling with stress, mood, and anxiety issues during pregnancy and postpartum. I offer a variety of options for support, including therapy, coaching, groups, and workshops to help women develop tools and confidence as they navigate life with a new baby. I also enjoy helping people improve self-esteem and explore new ways to cope with symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, and unresolved trauma, and I am passionate about connecting people to resources that can help them grow and succeed. As an EMDR practitioner, I utilize this cutting-edge technique to help people overcome painful and traumatic experiences, including traumatic birth experiences. I offer individual and group therapy, teach educational workshops, and have written five books on self-improvement topics. I am committed to providing a comfortable, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment for you to get the help you need. I view therapy as a collaborative process and welcome you to ask questions and share your thoughts on what works best for you. Everyone's journey is unique and the decision to seek help can be both scary as well as hopeful. I encourage you to view my practice and personal websites for additional information and resources and invite you to reach out via email with any questions regarding the best next steps for you.

I believe in meeting each client where they are. There is not one way to help someone resolve a problem in their life. I believe in helping my clients find the right path that works for them and following along beside them to provide wisdom in their lives to take the next steps and make better choices. A mental health professional should go above and beyond for their clients and I believe in this whole heartedly. My motto is "get me in your life and out of your life quickly so that you can live happy!"

Welcome! Thanks for visiting my page. The idea of counseling can be scary, no matter what our age, and this is a huge step. Finding the right “fit” can be critical for your success in counseling. Let me tell you a bit about my practice to see if it helps in your search. Most people come to my practice to gain a sense of what patterns are keeping them stuck (even when past counseling has not worked). Together we face what has been avoided to achieve greater satisfaction and fulfillment in our lives. I use humor to normalize symptoms of stress and provide a warm, comfortable environment to let go and take new supported risks. My practice works with the philosophy that past experiences can impact our present triggers, current relationships, and even future decisions. I work with past traumas (big or small) and present "pesky" symptoms you want healed through EMDR and IFS therapy to bring deep healing and resolution. Therapy is customized to meet your individual needs and goals. Issues- anxiety, panic attacks, depression, PTSD, trauma, grief, relationship conflict, attachment wounding and struggles, and Life Transitions

I believe in the intrinsic worth of all human beings. I believe that many people do not see their value because it is overshadowed by the shame caused by their perceptions of who they should be and what they should be achieving. There are many reasons why these distortions exist; but one thing is for certain, it creates a feeling of being a fraud and deep shame. A lot of time and energy is used to counteract this secret shame. I feel that it is important to help teens and adults to become authentic and accepting of their strengths and weaknesses instead of putting our emotional and physical energy in denying and being afraid of our humanness. It is exhausting and paralyzing to be so afraid of our imperfections. I believe there is value in accepting our own humanity. We have to climb off our self imposed pedestal which is secretive and isolating and connect with other human beings without the fear of being discovered a fraud. It is so freeing and meaningful.

I provide individual and couples psychotherapy to adults and adolescents. I use an integration of various treatment modalities within a psychodynamic framework, providing my clients with the flexibility of treatment specific techniques while maintaining a focus on the therapeutic relationship and treatment alliance. Having healthy, positive relationships is integral to all aspects of our lives. I treat clients with mild to severe disorders and work in collaborative relationships with psychiatrists when medications are needed. I specialize in treating mood issues, anxiety issues, relationship, family issues, trauma, and sport psychology (performance enhancement, injury recovery, etc.). Deciding to begin therapy and selecting a therapist can feel like a daunting task. Whenever we step outside of our comfort zones, it feels awkward and sometimes even scary. However, the old cliché is true, we cannot grow without change. Finding a therapist who can support you on your path towards growth is possible. If you are ready to receive the support and accountability needed in getting unstuck, feel free to contact me via phone or email.
