Exeter is well-known for its many murals depicting the history and culture of the city. The mural you paint as you go through your days is a vivid expression of the struggles you’ve faced. When relationships sour and daily stresses increase, the painting can become smudged with emotional pain.

When your personal situation is out of control, you feel powerless to make it better. Sadness and worry distract you from your goals. As your mental health deteriorates, you need help with your struggles. Talk to a counselor in the Exeter area to master the art of living well.

Hi there! I'm glad you're here. I know that life can get tough leaving us feeling stuck, confused or overwhelmed. Counseling can certainly help, so I am glad you're considering this option. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I'm also bilingual, and offer services in both English and Spanish. My approach to therapy has been described by previous clients as "insightful and practical". My counseling style is client-centered - this means that you are the focus of therapy, and I consider you to be the ultimate expert on yourself. That being said, our work together will involve drawing out your strengths, building upon them, and helping you move forward in a warm and supportive environment. I have been working with families, individuals, children and teens in a mental health capacity for 8 years now. I have worked with a diverse range of populations and with various mental health issues. More specifically, it has been my privilege to help people heal from and work through issues such as chronic depression, grief, social anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, multigenerational issues including sibling and parenting issues, boundary setting in relationships, and history of trauma or abuse. If you decide to work with me, I'm hopeful that together we can find a way to help you move forward, and feel in control of your life once again.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (in both Virginia and California), I have over 22 years of clinical experience in civilian, military, and hospital settings. I am a proud female Veteran with a specialty in helping others cope with life's stressors and transitions. I am an advocate for individuals with chronic illness, and my past experiences as a transplant social worker, have inspired me to specialize in issues relating to health inequities and social justice issues. While my passion has always been about service to others, just know that I will also challenge you in areas where you may feel stuck or defeated. Therapy is not always easy, but I am committed to partnering with you to assist on working through whatever brought you here. I look forward to working with you!
