I understand firsthand how much of a balancing act life can be. I know that life can present challenges that take us off course and result in feelings of frustration, anxiety, and fear. I know that the competing demands of work and family life can make it feel like you are being pulled in all directions and not really doing anything well, it's as though you are barely keeping your head above water. I work with people who are ready feel differently.
I provide a comfortable, down to earth and safe environment. Together we will develop tools to manage stress and reduce anxiety, identify ways to improve relationships, and explore strengths that can be leveraged to increase satisfaction and fulfillment.
Life is hard. Sometimes what we need most is someone to listen. I will work with you to bring a new perspective to the challenges you are facing, but above all you will feel seen and heard. You will have my undivided attention and together we will gain greater understanding of the person you are and the person you want to be.

For difficulties in relationships, parenting, and/or anxiety, I will integrate my understanding of attachment theory and the nervous system to explore earlier life experiences that may require healing. Most clients report this approach provides a new understanding of their current challenges and illuminates opportunities for change.
