I am a clinician with twenty-five years of clincial experiences as a licensed mental health counselor. I have worked with families, caregivers, employees, and adults over 18 years old. I visited families in their homes over the years before doing telehealth visits on a permanent basis. I have extensive experience providing mindfulness behavioral therapy, solution-focused methods, CBT, and grief counseling. Over the years, I have learned valuable resources for stress reduction through grounding techniques using the breath and cognitive restructuring to produce a calmer state of being. I participated in an all-day training for clinicians to learn how to apply nature-based interventions and tools for individuals interested in this intervention. Evidence-based studies show how nature therapy reduces stress, heart rate, and blood pressure, and boosts positive moods. You can practice nature therapy in your house without having to go outside as well.

After many years working in science, I got training in psychotherapy: first in psychoanalysis, then in powerful, evidence-based emotion-focused approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFCT/EFIT), AEDP and EMDR. This blend lets me speak to both your heart and your mind. Together we’ll figure out what approach works best for you—whether it’s deep exploration, emotional processing, or a more targeted skills based approach. My goal in our sessions is to create a safe space between us—where you can feel truly secure enough to explore your own way of connecting to the world, to others, and to yourself. I want this to be a place where being vulnerable doesn't feel risky, where emotions can come up without judgment, and where you get to practice being seen and heard exactly as you are. From there, we build the confidence and skills to carry that sense of safety into your everyday relationships and life. If that sounds like something you'd like to try, I'm ready whenever you are. Reach out—let's start

Hi there! My name is Jane, and I am a therapist dedicated to helping individuals cope with anxiety, depression, PTSD, family conflict or stressful life changes. Life can bring tough times, and no one should have to navigate the difficult parts alone. I am down-to-earth and completely non-judgmental. I would love to be given the opportunity to hear your story and help you get to a better emotional space.

I’m a therapist who believes meaningful change comes from a combination of insight, accountability, and consistent action. My work is shaped not only by clinical training, but by a grounded understanding of adversity, resilience, and what it takes to rebuild and move forward. I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck in patterns—whether related to trauma, stress, relationships, or major life transitions—and are ready to create something more stable and intentional. Many of my clients are navigating challenges such as emotional reactivity, impulsive behaviors, or difficulty maintaining consistency in their lives. My approach is direct, practical, and focused on helping you develop the tools needed for real, lasting change. I use evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to support emotional regulation, stronger decision-making, and long-term growth. I have a particular interest in working with individuals navigating recovery, reentry, and significant life rebuilding, while remaining open to anyone seeking clarity, stability, and a more grounded way of living.

I believe healing begins by creating a safe and sacred space where individuals can fully reconnect with their authentic selves. I have nearly a decade of clinical experience and specialize in helping clients heal attachment wounds, navigate complex emotions, and reclaim their inner strength after trauma, grief, or significant life transitions. My therapeutic approach blends depth-oriented psychotherapy, trauma-informed care, and mind-body awareness, recognizing that true healing must involve both the emotional and the unconscious layers of experience. My style is warm but direct, and I strive to offer my clients a steady hand as they learn to navigate their inner world with greater self-trust, self-compassion, and emotional resilience. I work especially well with clients who feel “stuck” between who they once were and who they are becoming — offering the insight, patience, and guidance needed for profound transformation.
