About Me: I’m Tricia, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience creating space for growth, connection, and transformation. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationships, intimacy, menopause, and personal growth, using evidence-based strategies—including Imago Therapy Communication Dialogue—to foster meaningful change. My approach is collaborative, practical, and infused with warmth, blending honesty, humor, and heart to make therapy real, down-to-earth, and never boring. I help adults manage emotions, build confidence, and navigate life’s challenges with tools that truly work. Think of our sessions as a safe space to be yourself, grow, and maybe even laugh along the way.

My approach to therapy

My Approach: I offer a collaborative and integrative approach designed to help you feel more at ease within yourself while cultivating deeper, more meaningful connections. Rooted in a person-centered and eclectic style, I draw from evidence-based modalities tailored to support your unique goals. My work is grounded in creating a warm, attuned, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore, grow, and feel supported. As both a therapist and practice owner, it is a privilege to partner with you on your journey toward greater empowerment and well-being.

Consultations & Therapist Matching: We recognize that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. I offer consultations to help determine which therapist may be the best fit for your needs, ensuring a personalized and thoughtful treatment plan for you and your family.
