Are you or someone you are caring for facing a situation that is causing you stress, worry or sadness? Facing a health challenge or making a significant life transition can feel overwhelming leading you to worry how you are going to face the future. If you are a caregiver/partner, you may lack energy or time for yourself making you feel irritable, frustrated, angry or guilty. You may think, "I can't do this, I'm not handling this well" causing you to overthink and ruminate which might affect your sleep at night. You may struggle finding meaning and purpose and don't know who to talk to.

Collaboratively, we can explore the underlying contributors to your worry and sadness and develop steps towards what is important to you as well as build strategies to help you regain meaning in your life. I will provide you with tools that you can practice in between our sessions so you feel empowered and regain a sense of confidence and joy.

I specialize in working with people who face difficult changes/transitions in their lives. Taking the first step to reach out can feel scary, but this decision can provide you with a sense of relief. To determine if my services would be a good fit for you; call, email or visit my website today to set up a free, no obligation, confidential consultation.

I prioritize getting to know you as a person, listening to what you are struggling with and hearing what would make life more manageable. I help you identify what your values and goals are and then we discuss what is might be pulling you away from responding to your situation in ways that are helpful to you. I use a practical approach and provide hand outs that you can review and practice at home.
