The environment and tone are warm, inviting, and comfortable, allowing you to express yourself freely.

Effective communication is a key part of therapy, and I adapt my communication style to meet the needs of each individual. Here are the main communication styles I use in my practice: active listening, empathetic and compassionate, clear and direct, non-judgmental, and open and supportive feedback.

My approach to therapy and coaching is rooted in curiosity, courage, and compassion. I help clients uncover limiting inner beliefs about themselves and explore their emotional patterns. I am interested in empowering individuals with insights, intentionality, and tools to help create more productive narratives—whether in their careers, relationships, or personal lives. I use my training in counseling psychology, clinical social work, and master certified professional coaching as a stepping stone toward emotional growth.

I work with couples and individuals, and specialize in relationship issues, coping with medical illnesses, grief and loss, health behavior and lifestyle changes, life stress and transitions (including marriage, separation and divorce, infertility, work stress, life stage concerns, etc), anxiety, depression, and ADHD. A supportive and non-judgmental relationship is crucial to any effective individual or couples therapy. In creating a safe place to explore and understand where you might feel stuck, I help you learn new ways to communicate and interact in relationships, cope with life stresses and losses, deal with difficult emotions, and shift behaviors and patterns that may no longer work in your life. I view each person or couple holistically, and provide individualized interventions integrating approaches that are supported by research in order to help you gain insights, learn new communication and coping skills, and ultimately make lasting changes in your life. I am certified in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) and have advanced training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy (GMT), as well extensive training in health psychology, behavioral medicine, bereavement counseling, child and pediatric psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness based approaches, such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and insight meditation. I have also worked and published in the areas of women's health and ADHD.

Whether you are seeking therapy for the first time, you're transitioning out of a higher level of care, or you're somewhere in between, my goal is to help you experience relief from your symptoms and get back to living life on your terms. I work with teenagers (13+) and adults and specialize in treating eating disorders, anxiety, and depression. I also have experience in treating PTSD and OCD and understand the importance of providing trauma-informed care. Regardless of your diagnosis, I believe that it's important to tailor each person's treatment to their specific needs. As part of my treatment approach, I believe that each session is an opportunity for you to develop a deeper awareness of the self, uncover patterns, learn to build tolerance for uncomfortable emotions, and strengthen self-compassion. I also provide art therapy, which allows you to express emotions and process experiences that may be difficult to speak about. I have seen first-hand how both talk therapy and art therapy can encourage growth and support an increase in self-awareness and mindfulness. I look forward to the opportunity to help you or your child gain support and learn skills that will be beneficial for years to come!

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. I’m an EMDR therapist who works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and trauma. Many of the people who come to see me are used to pushing through and handling things on their own, yet still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected inside. You may understand logically that your past is over, but your body and emotions haven’t caught up. Therapy can be a place where that finally starts to shift. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps your brain process experiences that feel “frozen” in the nervous system. Instead of just talking about what happened, we help your mind and body fully digest it so memories become less intense and less intrusive. You won’t be pushed to share everything at once, and you won’t have to relive experiences before you feel ready. We focus first on building coping skills and a sense of safety so you feel grounded and in control throughout the process. I see therapy as collaborative. I won’t sit silently and leave you guessing — I’ll guide you, check in often, and adjust the pace based on what you need. My approach is warm, steady, and practical. Along with EMDR, I help you understand patterns, manage difficult emotions, and develop tools you can use in everyday life, especially during periods of change or uncertainty. People often start therapy during transitions: relationship changes, career shifts, loss, identity development, or simply realizing the ways they’ve been coping are no longer working. You don’t have to be in crisis to begin. If something in your life feels heavy, confusing, or hard to carry alone, that is reason enough. My goal is not to “fix” you. It’s to help you feel safer in your own mind and body, reduce the impact of painful experiences, and create more space for calm, connection, and choice in your life. If you’re considering therapy, I’d be honored to work with you.

Is your mind spinning with worries and you just want a break from the endless "to do" list, anxiety and insecurity? Perhaps you find yourself physically or emotionally exhausted each day. If you're struggling internally, or in your relationship and want to feel better, counseling can be helpful. Are you ready to start working on your self-care but just don’t know where to start? Perhaps you've decided it’s time to get your life back. Many people get caught in the negative cycle where feeling anxious, depressed or stressed is a way of life, especially in today's world. It's easy to forget that a better life awaits us if we reach out for support to help us find what we're looking for. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, anxious and depressed, you can have a life where your days are greeted with more inner peace, more confidence and hopefulness for what lies ahead. If you are sick and tired of feeling overwhelmed, we want to help you feel better. Like you, our clients are regular, everyday women who are struggling with life's difficult ups and downs. Life's overwhelming stressors can turn into having issues such as anxiety and depression, stress and trauma, women's wellness issues including self esteem and body image, relationship problems and hard life transitions. Therapy will be tailored to meet your specific, individual needs. By using a practical approach and collaborating with you, we can find your path to a happy, healthy, fulfilled and meaningful life through the process of therapy. It might not seem so, but it is possible to start feeling good about yourself and your life. Contact us today to set up an appointment or for more support.

I specialize in the treatment of sexual issues such as pornography and sexual addiction, and treatment for pre- and post-adjudicated individuals with sexual behavior challenges. I provide individual, family, and group therapy, comprehensive psychosexual risk assessment for individuals charged with sexual offenses at the pre- and post-conviction stages, and expert testimony. Prior to creating my own practice, I was the executive director and co-owner of Freeland and Hildembrand Clinical and Forensic Associates, a community-based, full-service forensic mental health clinic that worked exclusively with adults and juveniles with sexual behavior issues. I offer relapse prevention and psychoeducational-based treatment utilizing a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach. My relapse prevention training is designed to assist clients in understanding their offense or sexual addiction cycle, triggers, and the steps they need to take to avoid acting out sexually. Therapy with me will be highly interactive, with a strong psychoeducational component aimed at helping clients better understand and take control of their sexual compulsions.

You’re the strong one, the one others rely on, pushing through everything. You’re wondering how much longer you can hold it together when it feels like your relationships, your life, are coming apart. You may feel like a failure for asking for help yourself. But you’re not willing to give up on your goals for your life and those relationships that are so important. You want to do more than just get through life. You want to get rid of the mental load you’ve been carrying and feel free to enjoy those moments in life that are really important. I get it. I’m a former paramedic and pastor, a current business owner and single mom, and a therapist. I’m happy to meet with you for a free 15-minute consult to see if we’d be a good fit for therapy. I work with clients in person or via telehealth. You can contact me here or visit our website to learn more.
