Personal Statement

If you're looking at this counselor profile, chances are good that you're suffering. Maybe you're wondering if the pain you're feeling will ever end. My mission in working with you is to restore your hope that life can be much better, that there can be light even after loss or betrayal or gigantic failure, and that you don't have to live in emotional pain for the rest of your life.

I specialize in working with people who have experienced loss or betrayal, or who feel terrible about themselves, whose lives have changed in undesired ways, or who just can't seem to get their relationships to work. I use powerful methods that really do lead to healing, with the understanding that each person's journey and healing plan will be unique. Sessions will always include deep, compassionate, and respectful listening. Beyond that, one of my favorite techniques is cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps you to transform dysfunctional thinking patterns that keep you trapped and unable to see options. I also favor EMDR, a fast and highly effective method for reducing emotional pain and trauma by rewiring neural pathways in the brain. My credentials include LPCA licensure, EMDR training, and a Ph.D. in Life Coaching.

Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if counseling with me feels like a good fit for you. Sessions are conducted by secure telehealth, which gives you more flexibility and the comfort of getting help from home. I offer a sliding scale starting at just $65 for an hour-long session.
