Career counseling assists people in finding the right career path for them. It includes discovering skills, honing in on specific interests and aptitudes, and researching meaningful ways for people to do the work that suits them best. If someone questions their career or work choices, a career counselor will administer tests, including inventories about personality, skills, and strengths. The therapist will then educate the client about career fields, industries, or companies that have jobs that align. They can then work with the person to develop specific skills for that job, such as effective communication, interpersonal skills, and time management.
I work with adults, couples, families, teens, and children and specialize in a variety of presenting issues: stress/anxiety, depression, grief/loss, PTSD/trauma, body image/eating disorders, relationship difficulties, career/life transitions. Some of us enter therapy with very specific goals, other times the goals become more clear as therapy progresses. Either way, something that is necessary ...

You are a unique, inherently worthy and capable human. Therapy is often a space to reawaken that awareness, to strengthen it when storms crash around it, and to recover and celebrate when you do. I am there to support you, which will range from listening with compassion, re-direction, and crisis intervention. Navigating emotions is an ongoing work that, with the right tools, can become easier a...

Working with a therapist can be viewed in many ways, but I often like to compare it to shoe shopping; you may get lucky on the first pick, or you might have to try on a few pairs before making the purchase. However, when you find the right fit, it may take you to places you’ve never been before. Choosing a therapist you can trust and feel at ease with can make all the difference by leading to a...

I work primarily with couples and adult individuals. My experience has led me to individuals who struggle with grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and anger-related issues. I also work with people who suffer from addiction and problems related to their substance use. Apart from working with individuals one-on-one, my time spent working with couples in relationship/marriage counseling has focuse...
Internally, we already have everything we need. So why don’t we feel like it? Our practice begins from a fundamental perspective of connectivity and completeness. We'll look at, and accept, all the dimensions of our lives. By leaving nothing out, we are free to begin the process of bringing our unnaturally fragmented lives back into their ordinary state of harmony. As a society, we’ve gotten go...
It is an honor to walk beside my clients as they unpack the impacts of past experiences, observe their existing environment, and identify how thoughts and patterns contribute to or are barriers to their goals. This may be talked about as anxiety, depression, defiance, anger, isolation, lack of energy, hopelessness and many other symptoms. Some clients come to sessions with specific goals and...
Every day we make choices. Some of these choices are not our best choices but we make them based upon our experiences, knowledge (or lack thereof), thoughts and emotions. The mind is amazing and our thoughts have power. I believe in the power of choice. My goal is to help people remove the barriers that impact their ability to utilize positive thought. While we cannot always choose what happens...
The bravest thing you can do is begin to understand your own story. Finding help and healing through therapy is a process that I find hopeful, energizing, and sacred. I love helping clients identify their challenges, discover their needs and wants, and implement solutions to build a better life. Sometimes we get trapped in one chapter of our story and need help to understand, turn the page, and...

I work collaboratively with you by asking questions, offering practical...
