Do people ask how you are doing and the answer is always “fine” or “ok”? Or maybe you avoid letting yourself feel uncomfortable emotions? Possibly putting off facing them until you feel more ready, but that day never comes? Depression, anxiety, and trauma can do that to us. They can change our trajectory in life, veer us off course of who we were meant to be. Shadows from the past can loom over us forever. If this is your experience, my sincerest hope is one day you will feel ready to no longer allow your past to place limits on the future. With my 14 years of experience in the field, my goal is to promote a safe space for us to fully understand your experience. Using a nonjudgmental approach, we will explore the ways you want to feel, what's standing in the way, and how to get you where you want to be. It takes courage to choose you, to take the time and do the work to invest in yourself. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. It is brave to share yourself with a stranger. I'd be honored for the opportunity to share your journey and together figure out how to get closer to the life you were meant to live. A life with purpose and fulfillment. You deserve a sense of passion and a life of worth. You deserve a life without limits.

My aim is to provide you a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can explore the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that are distressing or overwhelming.

We travel the road with you, hope for the hopeful and hopeless! We bring authentic listening joined with the power of hope together. Have you heard of how to master tightrope walking? Do you know tightrope walkers are never actually standing still but constantly making fine tweaks in how they stand, so they can adjust themselves to stay balanced on the tightrope?

My compassion is to be the support for people who desire to identify the little tweaks that they can make to stay balanced on the tightrope.

Your whole life, you’ve been told that you’re “too much.” Too sensitive, too emotional, too high-maintenance. At the same time, you’ve been made to feel that you’re not enough in many ways. But they don’t see the whole picture. How your sensitivity to others' words and feelings makes you so empathetic and caring, or the way that you notice all the small details that other people tend to miss. You're cautious and deliberate, but you also tend to come up with the most creative solutions. You might be "picky" about the way things feel, but you also know exactly how to transform a space into a cozy, welcoming haven for others. The demands of daily life can be draining when you feel everything so deeply, but you can create a life that nourishes and recharges your energy instead of leaving you overwhelmed and irritable. I love working with clients like you, who are meticulous, insightful, and unwilling to settle for just getting by. I want you to discover what I already know: that your sensitivity is in fact your greatest strength. I have a special interest in working with sensitive parents, mothers with infants and toddlers, and young professional women. Email is the best way to reach me, and I have several clinicians at my practice so please contact me for availability!

I'm so happy you've found your way here. I respect you for taking this step towards wellness! Perhaps you have been feeling like life has been hard for you lately, and you’re seeking out answers on how to feel better. Maybe you are struggling with negative thoughts that don’t seem to go away, and keep you stuck. You may have persistent feelings that you aren’t good enough, that everyone else seems to have it together, why don’t you? I believe it is possible to feel better. I believe that we can learn to understand ourselves in such a way that we can create the change to live our best lives. View 4 Photos I provide therapy from an integrative approach that has been successful with my clients in improving their emotional health and increasing insight so they can better understand how they function in their world, and what they may want to be different. My approach is non-judgmental, empathic, culturally humble, and where appropriate humorous. The therapeutic relationship is one of, if not the most important ingredient to counseling, because without the feeling of safety, compassion, and genuineness, there is no theory or approach to counseling that will be effective. I am hopeful that I can be even a small part of assisting you in your journey to wellness and peace!

Life can be challenging at times. Whether it’s from patterns of thinking or behaving we’ve carried with us since childhood, or relationship dynamics we’ve forged, or hurdles we’ve encountered in our day-to-day journey, or lingering trauma, sometimes we can feel stuck. We may even lose a sense of our own identity along the way, and that “lost” feeling brings experiences of anxiety, stress, sadness, fear, physical struggles, or more. It can be helpful to find a safe space to explore our thoughts and feelings, and counseling can offer an objective perspective, thought-provoking questions, and help in discovering the way forward. I see counseling as a collaborative process in which I support and empower you to explore perspectives, beliefs, and behaviors in a safe, non-judgmental context. I'll also challenge unhealthy patterns that arise and help you grow in self-awareness to embrace new possibilities. I’ll also integrate mindfulness, contemplation, communication skills, & self-care. I have counseled individuals and couples for over 30 years in a professional pastoral role. In recent years, I've expanded my clinical therapeutic development so that I might offer more specialized assistance with various issues. I have also served as Adjunct Faculty in a university Clinical Mental Health Counseling department.
