Through 20+ years of experience, I have discovered my passion for working with clients to heal the wounds of abuse, other traumas, or narcissism; work through family-of-origin and attachment issues; liberate from the confines of anxiety, panic, phobias, and OCD (or obsessive-compulsive tendencies); repair and/or heal from relational issues; develop effective boundary-drawing; transform self-concept/esteem, and grow to find peace, joy, and purpose. Drawing on a strengths-based approach, I help clients identify and more fully develop the strengths and skills they already have. From that foundation, I utilize various evidence-based therapy modalities, techniques, and interventions to help clients heal, find wellness, and flourish. I offer a compassionate understanding of who you are, how you show up in the world, and how you experience things. I am nurturing while also able to challenge long-held beliefs and patterns, which may be keeping you stuck or holding you back from the life you want to live. I wish you well on your journey!

I will send telehealth links if inclement weather is approaching. If you prefer a video appointment (regardless of TPS recommendation), please let me know to ensure I have one set up for you. It is very easy to arrange last minute if you have any concerns about road safety, so please do not hesitate to request a video appointment at any time. Feel free to reach out via the client portal, phone, or email if you have any questions. ***
