Whatever challenge you, your family, or your team face, you can overcome it. This is the guiding principle of my work as a therapist and corporate consultant. My job is to put my skills, experience, and resources at your disposal to help you reach the next stage of your growth. Briefly, my approach to therapy leans towards solution-focused, cognitive behavioral approaches, borrowing techniques and tools liberally from other disciplines as appropriate. In our first sessions, we work together to build a plan focused on meeting your specific goals. I've worked effectively with children as young as six and adults well into retirement, focusing primarily on issues of anxiety & depressive mood regulation, navigating adolescence, adjusting to life changes, grief, trauma, the unique challenges of military families, and relationship issues. As a corporate consulting clinician, I bring a unique blend of extensive national and international level corporate experience with clinical training and experience to help teams identify roadblocks to and solutions for growth. Our work will likely touch on corporate culture, team structure, resource identification, analysis of and routes to break unhelpful patterns, and both short and long term goal building. Rates vary based on scope of work, with both hourly and project based pricing available. If you have any questions, or are unsure, please contact me directly today so we can figure out together if we might be a good fit. Initial consultations, up to 20 minutes, are always free of charge.
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.
Searching for a therapist to guide you on your journey towards healing, change, and empowerment can be time-consuming and daunting. Everyone has the right to quality and affirming care, and that starts from the first moment you reach out to me. I will strive to always provide a safe, open, and non-judgmental atmosphere that will foster the positive therapeutic alliance needed to help you achieve your goals. My approach is not one-size-fits-all, and I only see a limited number of clients, which allows us the opportunity to set a focus and the pace you require along your path.
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.
It is my highest responsibility to provide a safe environment that induces my client's trust and alliance. I am on my client's journey without being judgmental. Each client is unique and each client well-being is of the uttermost importance. My client's needs and desires are highly considered. The therapy I provide allows my clients to address their concerns, fears, and issues. I assist my clients in finding ways to better communicate and to resolve issues without engaging in conflict. My client's who seek relationship counseling engage in a process that requires their active participation so that they are able to utilize coping skills, techniques, and mechanisms they can use outside of counseling. My office enables my clients to experience an environment that is safe, tranquil and serene. Clients are able to learn more about themselves, their partners, and their families.
It can be daunting to make the decision to reach out and contact a therapist. Just by doing this, you are already taking the first step towards reaching your goals. Whether you are seeking counseling for yourself or for your child, taking the initiative can be scary. I work to create a positive and supportive environment in order to alleviate some of those fears. I believe that therapy should not be a space where you have to worry about being judged. As a counselor, I believe it is my role to give you unconditional positive regard. This doesn’t mean that I will never challenge you or give you a dose of reality, but instead that I will never judge you for simply being who you are. Going to therapy and opening up to a stranger can be scary, but together we can work towards getting you to where you want to be. In addition to individual and couples work, I also work with preteens, teens, and their families to develop effective communication while also focusing on your teen’s growth, identity development, thoughts, and emotions. Being a teenager can be an exciting, confusing, and scary time. The support of a trained therapist allows for a safe, nonjudgmental space for teens to process life's hardships, learn more about who they are, and gain the skills they need to navigate the future. I believe that empathy and building the therapeutic relationship is the biggest factor in the work we can do together. While I bring a person-centered approach and mindfulness into almost all of my sessions, I don’t believe therapy is one-size-fits-all. This means that I will always take into account individual situations and preferences to make sure our time together is focused on your or your teen’s unique needs and goals. I am trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ allied, sex-worker allied, and multi-culturally focused.

I have been in practice for over 20 years. I provide mental health support services, offering comprehensive services including biopsychosocial assessments, interventions, and follow-up services for medication management. I treat mood, trauma, and stress conditions. I also have experience with healthcare-related diagnoses and stressors, including prenatal and postpartum conditions, and loss. I utilize various therapeutic methods, including attachment-based approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed approaches, and family systems theory.
I have a broad range of experiences in working with the problems of career-oriented individuals and parents that result from relationship issues, too much responsibility, stress at home and work, personal and social isolation, loss of motivation or debilitating fears. I have worked with many people and families who are affected by anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavior challenges at school, defiance and anger, divorce or trauma. I've worked with children, teens and young adults with emotional disturbances, behavior problems, self-harm, or personality development issues, and helped couples and parents sort through relationship challenges. I also have experience in the treatment of alcohol and drug abuse and addiction in both outpatient and inpatient settings. There are no rules as to how you must or should respond to stressors: we will find positive and non-stressful alternatives. I use a non-judgmental approach to both listen, accept and validate your experiences in order to urgency address and resolve your issues. We will enhance your autonomy so you feel relief, quickly. I use a broad spectrum evidence-based therapies, particularly mindfulness-based approaches that relieve stress and augment therapy. I will help accomplish the peaceful and fulfilling life that you envision.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am continually inspired by the transformative moment that happens in the counseling process. There is a sacredness in being present to another as a guide on this journey we call life. Whether it is exploring inner resources for healing and growth or the possibilities for deep and lasting change, it is an honor to work with people that are desiring a better way to be themselves in the world. My own journey has taught me that being truly present and engaged allows space for the unknown to be revealed, acknowledged, and eventually integrated into the service of the whole self. I weave together various mind-body modalities to create opportunities for you to step into the experience of your own sense of well-being, wisdom, and inner trust. In providing an affirming space for all clients, I also have expertise in working with LGBTQ+ persons, those in recovery, spiritual and religious questioners, and writers, artists, and musicians. Mary Oliver wrote in the poem “Wild Geese”: “Meanwhile, the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting — over and over announcing your place in the family of things.” If you are looking for a place to come home to yourself, I invite you to email or call to schedule an initial appointment. I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions.
