I believe opportunities for healing and growth reside within each of life's challenges. I also know that people have an innate wisdom and ability to heal themselves. Counseling can support this process by providing a deeper understanding of yourself, others, and your relationships. I enjoy helping clients to listen to their lives with curiosity and non-judgment.  Together, we collaboratively work to welcome and care for all the parts of yourself, to understand and process your emotions, and to find greater peace and empowerment in the midst of whatever challenges you face.

I work with individuals, couples, and family members age 21 +over in a comfortable and private office setting.  I also conduct sessions by confidential video telehealth if needed or preferred.  I value compassion, respect, kindness, and humor in our work together. We address both current and past experience, in order to understand the core relationships and history that shape your current beliefs and reactions.  As therapist, my role is to offer insight, ask questions, provide information and reflection, and create a safe place from which clients can expand their understanding of themselves.

Typical issues I work with include anxiety, depression, recent or long-term trauma, marriage & romantic relationships, parenting, divorce & separation, blended families, grief & loss, changes in career or family structure, work challenges, and chronic illness or caregiving. I integrate various counseling approaches to fit the client and the issues.  These include trauma work, Internal Family Systems, emotionally focused therapy, attachment theory, schema work, mindfulness, creative visualization, dream work, and interpersonal therapy. I am happy to work from a spiritual or faith-based approach, if that is comfortable and desired by a client.

I view it as great privilege to serve clients, as a navigator and support on their journey to a more empowered, intentional, and authentic way of living.  I look forward to learning about your unique story and sharing in the powerful experience of therapy with you.
