Are you on the struggle bus and just can't seem to find your way? I help clients find their way by processing through anxiety, grief, or simply untangling emotions. I am a former high school counselor with 23 years experience working with teens and their families. In addition to my professional counseling experience, I compete in the dog show world and understand the unique needs of competitors. My approach is person centered counseling and I believe in joining clients on their journey towards healing. I specialize in offering a non-judgmental space that offers support and guidance to allow the client to process thoughts and emotions. I firmly believe that a good therapist should listen far more than they talk. Getting started on your therapeutic path can seem daunting! But, the first step is simply reaching out to set an appointment. Know that my clients are my priority and your healing is my passion. I will bring a sense of calm to your life along with a good dose of humor. Let's work together to help you make the changes you desire.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to investigate what is causing the distress and empower you to find healing. We will also use some hypnotherapy to learn how to relax and identify your somatic precusors to head off panic, I specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Our first session will be conversational in tone, but designed to identify goals for treatment and be clear about expectations. The first session will also include questions aimed at finding a diagnosis to guide our treatment plan.
