My communication style is empathetic and supportive. I encourage clients to express their authentic voice during sessions and I value open feedback to ensure their needs and goals are being effectively addressed.

My communication style is open, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.

I focus my work with individuals and couples to improve connection and secure functioning within relationships. I also work individuals dealing with affair recovery and betrayal trauma. Additionally, a large part of my practice focuses on healing from past traumas. During big life events we all need support, compassion, understanding, and sometimes guidance to return to feeling whole, connected, and allow joy back into our lives. Learning to care for yourself and using evidence based tools to improve your life will be our focus. My hope is to help you heal so you manage life's stressors and feel confident to face the world.

I appreciate the quote, "You don't have to be sick to get better." This reflects my approach as a solution-focused therapist. My ideal client is someone facing challenges like anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles but is also eager to enhance what’s already going well in their life. Together, we’ll not only address what’s holding them back but also build on their existing strengths to help achieve their goals. From session one, we’ll set clear goals, develop personalized tools for immediate use, and create a foundation for lasting success. Change is possible, achievable, and can happen faster than you think. With over 15 years of specialized training and solution-focused expertise, I help clients overcome anxiety, depression, and OCD. I’m passionate about helping couples rekindle their relationship. In my 5th year of telehealth specialization, I've added ADHD evaluation and treatment as well as executive coachingcareer counseling that is nationally accessible. Reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, but it’s the first step toward achieving your goals. Telehealth is an effective, secure, and convenient way to get the support (and challenge!) you need from the comfort of your own space. With over 15 years of clinical experience, I’m here to help. Let’s connect for a free consultation and start "getting better."

I have several years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, self-confidence, trauma and addictions in a variety of settings. I have an eclectic approach to counseling, I draw from various modalities and techniques in order to provide the best support for my client. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive and accepting environment in which we can explore challenges, gain insight and facilitate positive personal change and growth.

I work from a strong attachment base, holding the belief that growth occurs when we feel valued and understood. I work with individuals and their families towards living more connected lives. I view each client and their emotional support system from a perspective of competence and strength.

If you are dealing with overwhelming emotions, especially if you’re someone who has already tried to get help with them and not made the progress you’d hoped for, it’s easy to become convinced that these emotions will always rule the day. Emotional pain is created when we forget our own power, our innate connection to the resources of the Universe. My mission is simply to help you reconnect with your own power by teaching techniques needed to master those overwhelming feelings - to shrink them, reevaluate them, and put them into your past where they belong. What would it feel like if your emotions ceased to control your life? The work we do together will give you the ability to remove the emotional charge from troublesome issues in your life. I act as a guide to your journey of self-discovery. I see myself as a mirror, and my job is to show you who you are, empowering you to make the changes you want to make. The methods that I employ are gentle, effective, and easy for clients to learn and use, and place power squarely in your hands (not in mine). I do a lot of listening in my sessions, but I’ve found that talking stuff out doesn’t get rid of it. Growing in wisdom about how to think about things and make choices can be helpful, but that comes second behind dealing with the problems at their source. I show you how to do this for yourself.

Are you uncertain about your relationship? Perhaps trust has been broken, feelings have shifted, or another connection is calling your attention. These doubts can feel overwhelming, isolating, and confusing. Take a step today—explore your feelings, clarify your values, and navigate your decision-making process. Begin your path to insight, peace, and understanding. You don’t have to face this alone.

I am passionate about working with childrenl having difficulties with anxiety and emotional dysregulation. I utilize cognitive behavioral strategies, relaxation techniques, and other approaches based on the needs of the individual. In my spare time, I like walking my dog and spending time with my family and friends.

No matter why you are seeking therapy, I believe everyone is capable of growth and change. If you are looking to be a better version of yourself, we can take that journey together. I specialize in helping clients struggling with anxiety, depression, borderline personality issues, or past trauma. My style is warm, affirming, and solution-focused. During your first session, we will discuss what brought you to therapy and your expectations and goals. We will then work together to form a roadmap to meet those goals. I utilize a collaborative approach that integrates evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) with a person-centered orientation. These techniques will help challenge your existing beliefs in a safe and supportive space and will help you to learn strategies to live your best life. Starting therapy can be hard and takes a lot of courage. If you are interested in taking that step and think we could work well together, please reach out to me by phone or email to schedule an appointment or book directly with the link on my website. I also offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to help you decide if working together is right for you.

I believe that the innate nature of human beings is to survive and be well, and that varying degrees of life experience and trauma create psychic structures that inhibit that natural process from occurring. My job is to help client's develop compassionate awareness for these structures that are no longer functional in their lives and help them to build tolerance for the underlying feelings being protected by these structures. And ultimately to help client's choose and develop healthier more functional thoughts, feelings and behaviors to expand their well being, life satisfaction and treat themselves with loving kindness.
