Is your marriage in a crisis? Are you looking for support because you feel that you have done everything in your power to connect and be heard, and to no avail? Perhaps you are additionally overwhelmed as your beloved child is struggling at school, in the aftermath of a divorce or a move. Are you challenged with anxiety and depression and are looking for support to build your coping skills and get to the root cause of your challenges?

Accepting new clients: Along your life journey you, or your child/adolescent, may have hit unanticipated challenges, transitions, or trauma, impacting your well-being and capacity to move forward. Others may view you as someone who has it all together, but internally you are stressed, anxious, unmotivated, or shut down. Perhaps, this is happening to your child, or adolescent, and as a parent you have exhausted all ideas, and don’t know where to turn. These difficulties are impacting the emotional/mental health of yourself, your relationships, your work, your schooling, and/or your family dynamics, leaving you feeling unfulfilled.

I am now accepting clients in person and online. Flexible appointments with evenings and weekends available.. I am a registered psychotherapist dedicated to meeting you where you are in life.

Anxiety, depression and relationship (family) issues don't have to take over your life anymore. Perhaps now is the time to have someone walk alongside you to process life's difficulties. Are you tired of going through the daily to-do's without really enjoying your life? Are you caught up in people pleasing or struggling internally while trying to keep a smile on your face? Maybe you are experiencing burnout and every aspect of your life is suffering because of it.

Maybe you're not feeling like yourself lately (worried, sad, irritable, lonely, stressed). Feeling like this can be exhausting. Maybe you have thought of reaching out for help, but even just the thought of that overwhelms you. Let me start by saying that you are not alone! Symptoms of anxiety and depression tend to keep us feeling stuck, creating negative thoughts of self, and preventing us from doing what we need the most...connecting. What 'they' don't want you to know is that when you find the courage to reach out, you are opening the door to new possibilities. You matter and you deserve to feel better! Together, you can heal.

If you are affected by stress, anxiety or depression, or need post adoption support, please let me help you to find your inner strengths so that you can feel renewed hope.

Finding a way forward when dealing with the stress and changes resulting from COVID 19 is something we can do together.
