After 30 years as a therapist, I bring extensive experience helping adolescents and adults manage trauma, anxiety, depression, postpartum challenges, and major life transitions. I specialize in EMDR/PTSD and particularly enjoy working with women navigating the emotional and psychological changes that can accompany pregnancy, parenting, perimenopause and menopause. You could potentially see me though your life span and never have to retell you story over and over. I truly believe that no matter what we’ve been through, healing and growth are always possible. I've seen it through my own practice many times. 

​

​I tell my clients that many times our anxiety, depression or trauma are managing us, with my help, you will learn how to manage your own mental health. We can't erase our traumas or past, but we can learn from them and learn how to move forward, not let them hold us down, hold us back. Be present in your life, in control, not a spectator. Take your control back.

​

I draw on decades of experience to create a safe, empathic, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely. I am a proactive therapist with a tool box of tools to help you build a better life. I also utilze humor in my sessions when appropirate. I have been told many times, I have a laid back dememor that makes people feel comfortable and safe.

 

A Little About Me

I've been a counselor since before cell phones were a thing—which, yes, I realize dates me a little! But after decades of experience, I've learned a thing or two about people, life, and what it takes to make meaningful change.

I know what I'm doing, and I also know that therapy isn't one-size-fits-all.

I'm a big believer in trying things. If something isn't working, we'll try something different. If one approach doesn't feel right for you, we'll find another route. Sometimes you just have to look at a problem from a different direction to find the way forward.

I believe there is always an answer and always a way forward. You may not see it yet, and you may not know how to get there—but that's where I can help.

Let me help you find your way.

You don't have to have everything figured out before you come to therapy. You just have to be willing to take the first step.

Look, I have been a counselor since before cell phones (yes I realize how much this ages me) I have decades of experience, I know what I'm doing. I'm a big believer in trying things and if it doesn't work, we'll try something else. I believe that there is always an answer, always a way, you just might have to try a different route, but let me help you find that way.
