Whether you are here for yourself, your teen, your relationship, or parenting support - welcome. I am glad you are here. I am passionate about supporting people through difficult times, and finding their way towards healing, balance, health and well-being.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), with a Master’s Degree in Couples and Family Counseling, I am also a Certified Auricular AcuDetox Technician providing AcuDetox / AcuWellness to help reduce symptoms of anxiety, trauma, depression and addictive cravings, and increase a sense of balance and calm.

I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, trauma, difficulty with life transitions, grief and loss, eating and body image issues, parenting concerns, and relationship concerns. I work from the perspective that the challenges and difficulties that hold us back from living a more satisfying life can be the entry way into meaningful personal and relational transformation.

    Individual Counseling

    Many people struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, or experiences of trauma or loss. Life is full of challenges that can feel overwhelming, leading to disruptions in our lives and relationships. Sometimes we need some help to get back on track. Counseling can help you attend to and shift unhealthy patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving and help you to create a more fulfilling life and a better relationship with yourself and others.

    Parent Coaching

    Parenting is one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences. Too often we can feel alone as parents, wondering how to best support our children. Learn positive ways of responding to challenging situations with an experienced counselor whose approach is both skillful and compassionate.

    Feelings of stress and anxiety are so present in our fast paced and pressure filled culture. I offer AcuDetox wellness sessions to help calm your nervous system and access a sense of balance and peace. AcuDetox is a 5 point ear acupuncture protocol that can help relieve anxiety and stress, reduce addictive cravings, and decrease insomnia.
