In a confidential, caring environment, my commitment is to partner with you to identify solutions that work specifically for you.

I have training in a variety of evidenced based practices including Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), and Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention (CFTSI) .
Beginning therapy can be a vulnerable time for someone. Therapy provides a safe space to work on healing, increase feelings of hope and gain support. I provide therapy to children, teens and adults who are experiencing stress, life transitions/changes or who have experienced trauma. I have experience in working in the areas of grief and loss, anxiety, depression, divorce, abuse, neglect, domestic violence, sexual abuse and adoption. I also enjoy working with women on relationships, stress and fertility struggles.

My experience includes working with children, adolescents, and families with behavioral disorders and social emotional stressors.
Life can be challenging. You don’t have to go through it alone. I believe that one of the most important aspects of counseling is the relationship between client and therapist- the therapeutic alliance. I aim to connect with my clients through empathy and honesty. I value treating clients with respect and compassion, and I believe that change is possible when you have encouragement and the right supports in place.

I have training in many evidence based practices: EMDR, TFCBT, DBT, and specialized training in working with children/families affected by sexual abuse.
If you are going through a difficult life transition, struggling in relationships, feeling emotionally overwhelmed then you're in the right place. Admitting you need assistance is difficult, but is the first step to bettering your future. Therapy is investing in yourself and/or your family! It is my priority to gain a true understanding of each client's goals and difficulties as this will assist in growth and healing. I enjoy working with adolescents, families and adults. I strive to provide my clients with truth and hope. "The only way out is through." -Dr. Hildegard Messenbaugh,MD

For over 20 years, I've provided adult and child mental health therapy.
Want to feel less stressed or worried? To live in confidence, not anxiety or fear? We can help. You don't have to feel edgy or burned out. Your life can be what you hope for, not worry about.Making mistakes, having things go wrong, and needing to heal is part of life and being human. So is forgiving ourselves and others and trying again. You can change direction and heal. Become free to take a new path knowing that you have a right to what you think and how you feel. The past doesn't have to control the present or predict the future. We can't change what's happened. But we can start where we are and make a new beginning.

I enjoy working with children and adults alike.
Life can have both unexpected and expected challenges. It is important for you to be able to find an individual with whom you connect, and that can assist you on your journey. I often like to think, that everyone is the author of their own story. Depending upon your previous and current experiences, your outlook may vary on what is in your control and what is not. I am here to tell you, that you can change the narrative in your story for your next chapter to feel rewarding and for it to be different.

I consider myself a "clinical opportunist" with an educational, brain-based, and feminist approach to therapy. I value providing clients with tangible skills to manage their mental health while also providing education that's aligned with my clinical mindset & values. Over the years, I have gained a majority of my clinical experience and education through supporting children, adolescents, and adults on the autism spectrum. I have gained a passion and commitment to providing neurodiversity-affirming care to my clients, and education to families, teachers, and other professionals who work in collaboration with me and my clients.

With thirty years of experience in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, I now use a transpersonal or more personalized therapy approach with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.
There are times in our lives that we can become stuck, not knowing how, where, or who to turn to. We may feel lost, alone, depressed, angry, traumatized, fragmented, hopeless, afraid - floundering & needing direction. Does this sound like your situation? I'll help you to untangle your emotional knots - so that you can rekindle your dreams toward living the life you truly deserve. I specialize in issues of empowerment with a focus on your humanity and relationships (less on diagnostic labels). Welcome!
