I am a mother, painter, potter, gardener, lover of nature… and
I grow people.
Whether you have had years of therapy or are just starting, I will meet you where you are. I can help you learn to trust your voice and feel like yourself again, perhaps for the first time.
Let’s see if we are a good fit.
I create a customized approach for each client blending elements of:
Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Therapy, Art Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, Play Therapy, and Faith- Based Therapy (upon request).
I help clients of all ages learn about their unique brain and nervous system. They can then experiment with strategies for living that work FOR them, rather than against them.
I am experienced with sorting out complexity and “thinking outside of the box” with clients who have struggled for a long time. We work together to untangle the knot, with patience, persistence and hope.
Let’s see what’s possible. I can…
help you make sense out of chaos and find clarity.
give you space to unload what you are carrying.
offer helpful questions leading to greater insight.
carefully listen and “be with you” in hard places.
help you embrace your unique strengths and gifts.
Whether you are a child, teen, or an adult, you can create a vibrant vision for your future.

I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor with over 25 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and seniors. My early work in a variety of mental health settings (school counseling, residential, day treatment, acute outpatient) has provided a strong foundation for my work in private practice.
