Welcome!

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I feel honored to work with my clients, respecting that I may be entering their lives during a time of real vulnerability. My special interests include pregnancy and postpartum depression and anxiety (PPD/PPA, Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders); infertility, loss of a baby during pregnancy and infant loss; grief and loss, depression, anxiety; and life transition and relationship issues. I bring an optimistic, hopeful, compassionate, respectful and strengths-based approach to working with clients.
 
I encourage my clients to build on their strengths and to grow to discover and live their authentic lives. I use cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, mind/body/mindfulness, creative approaches, trauma-informed, EMDR, and Imago relationship couples therapy as counseling approaches and techniques, with the focus being on the unique needs and goals of each individual client.
 
I believe that life is a journey and that everyone who enters our lives and everything that happens to us can teach us something. I enjoy growing and learning personally and professionally through working with my clients.  Thank you for considering allowing me the opportunity to work with you.

Between a stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. The last of human freedoms is to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances. ~Viktor Frankl
