Do you want to be happier, more satisfied, or feel better? As a therapist with over 25 years experience, I have supported clients in healing through change and personal growth. I offer a safe, confidential environment to explore emotional patterns that may be preventing clients from living up to their fullest potential. CERTIFIED FIRST RESPONDER COUNSELOR-Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM). Please note I only offer individual therapy. I do not provide couples counseling for insurance pay on the Grow Therapy format, only in my private practice. CERTIFIED GOTTMAN COUPLES THERAPIST. Experienced Rover Therapist at the Art & Science of Love Workshops facilitated by Doctors John and Julie Gottman. COMPREHENSIVE COUPLES ASSESSMENTS - ONLINE THERAPY AVAILABLE.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Trained in trauma, resilience, and attachment theory: CBT, EFT, somatic, transpersonal, family systems therapy. My orientation is primarily psychodynamic. This method involves the transformation of often-unconscious beliefs and patterns about the self and others that can get in the way of forming satisfying relationships and functioning effectively in life.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I offer new resources to clients to deepen levels of meaning, connection, and vitality through insight, experience, and evidence-based practice. If you are dealing with past trauma, present pain, or current life changes help is available. I would be honored to accompany you on a deeply satisfying counseling journey.
